The Packer Pundit

Well the 2006 Schedule is out and due to our ineptness last season we benefit with a division last place schedule.

Games of Note:

• The Packers open against the Bears at Green Bay and end the season against the Bears in Chicago.


• Once again WE travel to Philly instead of the Eagles having to play in Lambeau. This is starting to remind me of when we used to have to go to Dallas every year in the mid 90's.


• Packers open date is in the 6th week of the season. That's reasonable.


• The Pack has three prime time games... 2 on ESPN (Monday Nighters) and one game on the NFL Network... in Green Bay... in December.


• The Pack closes the season out by playing 3 straight division games. Hopefully they mean something.
