This says we have an easier schedule than the other three division opponents. Skewed of course because they have to play us and... we don't. 2021 NFL strength of schedule rankings 1 Pittsburgh Steelers .563 (143-111-2) 2 Baltimore Ravens .559 (142-112-2) 3 Chicago Bears .553 (141-114-1) 4 Detroit Lions .543 (138-116-2) 5 Cincinnati Bengals .539 (138-118) 6 Minnesota Vikings .537 (137-118-1) 7 Las Vegas Raiders .527 (134-120-2) 8 Green Bay Packers .531 (133-122-1) 9 Cleveland Browns .520 (132-122-2) Edited May 12, 2021 by Kampfgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More home games on the back stretch and a late season BYE are always things I'm hoping for each season Edited May 13, 2021 by deltarich87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R T Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 The biggest injustice with the Packers schedule is the Packers- Cardinals game. The Packers have to travel to Phoenix for a Thursday night game after playing Washington on Sunday, yet the Cardinals have their bye week the week before. Cardinals have an extra week of rest AND the Packers are the travel team on 4 days. That is a big competitive for Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a team you can really afford to lose to on this schedule, either. We're going to be the best 9-8 team in the league.

Joe Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I really hate this schedule and the order of games as well. The pundits hyped the Packers-Chiefs game as a Week 17 matchup and we didn't get it. Worse off, we're going to add to our losing record to them on the road regardless of who is at QB IMHO. I don't think I'd take it as badly as incog if Rodgers is in fact the starter, but at least we get Seattle, Cleveland, and LA Rams at home with a late Bye in the second half of the season. I can't help but think we go 2-5 in the first 5 games either unless New Orleans is completely disorganized post-Brees, which I could see happening. Week 3 is an L for sure as we're most likely playing SF at full strength and backing that up with Pittsburgh though fortunately that game is at home. I think the best we can go is 11-6, worst at 8-9 with Rodgers; if Love is the QB then it's 9-8 at best, worst at 6-11. TBH, if Love is the guy I'd use the season to really evaluate the WR's, Barry's new defense(mainly IDL given how strong next year's class is apparently), and our TE's not named Deguara or Tonyan. We're not going to be competitive during Love's first NFL season unless the defense really dominates and all the work Love has put in pays off quickly; obviously, that's not likely so we should take advantage of a rebuilding year and kill it in the 2022 draft with higher picks in each round.

Gypsy1027 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Mark me down as an eternal optimist, sort of. If with Rogers at QB, we go 12 - 5. If with Love, we go 4 - 8. After Love crashes and burns, Bortles goes 2 - 3. If with Rogers, we go to the Super Bowl, but lose to the Chiefs. If with Love/Bortles, we get some nice early picks in each round of next year's draft. But what the hell do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ plays HOU the Sunday before we play them, they have the bye before the Bears. Or maybe playing HOU is kind of a bye. Anyway, at least they will have a 4 day turnaround like we will.

FAH1223 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hate this schedule. Bye week is late AF... final game is on road... just sux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 This is all just "on paper" but if it holds true, the good news is we have a very good chance to win the North again because every team in the division has a tough schedule. Bad news is the Bucs have the 29th ranked SOS if you're thinking about playoff seeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{Family Ghost} Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Nice to see that the schedule makers were "all-in" on the Packers regardless of the Aaron Rodgers situation. Charlotte Carey, the NFL’s director of broadcasting, explained why the league didn’t take into account Rodgers’ situation in Green Bay and were still “all-in” on the Packers when making the team’s schedule. “So when an elite quarterback like Aaron Rodgers is in that position, it’s definitely tricky for the schedule team. But we really just stuck to our guns,” Carey said, via Kevin Patra of NFL.com. “The Packers have a fantastic schedule this year. They’re a great football team. We hope No. 12 is under center, but if he’s not, we’re still all in on the Packers. They’re a big, big brand in the NFL and have a huge national following, so we’re all in.” Put another way, the Packers are still a big draw nationally regardless of the quarterback under center. https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2021/05/13/nfl-scheduler-makers-loved-the-packers-with-or-without-aaron-rodgers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
