I'm hoping with it being the stadium opening, most season ticket holders will keep their ticket and not re-sell to GB fans. It'd be nice to have a home game where it isn't like 40% puke yellow.

Maybe he was just referring to where the Packers will stand after they play the Vikes in week 2 next year. ;)

I don't believe everyone's tied in the offseason. The Broncos are the reigning champs until next season begins, we are the champs of the North until the season begins. And once the season begins, I expect us to reestablish our position in our division. Second place is a sour taste, I suppose, but there's no avoiding it with semantics, my friend. :smilevike:

I am very glad that we get the Pack for our first game in the new stadium. If this team is going to win the SB, it has to learn to bring it under the biggest lights and most attention possible, so I welcome these kinds of stepping stone challenges.

Eh, we won as many games as you guys did but made it farther, second place does feel pretty semantical at this point.

I agree, the first game in your stadium will be an awesome experience.

Generally speaking I would agree with that logic. The difference for me is that the Vikings and Packers specifically squared off in the last game of the season for that title. If it just amounted to strength of schedule, division wins, etc. that would make sense. That's not the case here though.

Packers dont have to leave green bay for a month (4 straight at home with bye mixed in)......plus the 5th easiest schedule.....somebody doesn't like the Vikings on top.

Yea I feel that logic, I think there is an argument to made both ways. I think alot of how you see it comes down to how you value our head to head point differential and also playoff victories. But I think the Packers had what should probably be considered the most successful season of the 4 NFCN teams.

The schedule is based off of a formula. lmao

But I had actually seen on NFL Network that it was the 1st easiest schedule in the league based off of last year.

Thanks for that AFC South.

Seriously, am I the only one who is miffed that the first game in the new stadium is against GB?
