Packers 2015 Schedule - Let The Planning Begin!

So, we have the 2015 NFL Schedule!  That schedule sets many things in motion!

The television networks dedicate an entire evening to discussing it!

The coaches start to develop a plan for the season!

Players begin plans for the Super Bowl run, making the team, and maybe
getting a few tickets for family & friends!

Team officials begin planning home games festivities, like Thanksgiving night
for the Packers retiring Favre's number!

And fans, season ticket holders are looking at home games, others fans dream
of attending their favorite team for JUST ONE GAME!  And Packer fans, well
we all know they are special!  Some dream for JUST ONE game in their life time!

Here is is:


Lets analyze it!

Bye Week - Week 7

Not bad, not perfect, but will do!  McCarthy like to break up the season into 4 quarters, here is my guess:

Quarter 1 - Proving Something!
at Bears
Home - Seahawks
Home - Chiefs
at 49ers

I love the Bears game one!  It is an away game that we should win!  Cutler always helps, new coaching staff, and a Packer Team with something to prove!
Seattle - Game #2 - WOW!  No need to discuss this!  AND, home opener!
Game #3 - second home game, Chiefs!  The will be well coached, and dangerous!  QB, Smith for 
Chiefs still has something to prove!  Should be a close game, but Packer offense should win it!
Game #4 - Away 49ers!  New coaching staff, new inside linebackers, but a QB that has burned the 
Pack before!  Another game that should have the Packer players focused!!!

Quarter 2 - New Blood!
Home - Rams
Home - Chargers
BYE WEEK
at Broncos
at Panthers

This part of the schedule has a lot of unknowns!  Good home games!  Rams & Chargers will add 
new challenges!  New QB for Rams, good defense!  A wise QB for Chargers, dangerous offense!
Away game at Broncos?  What does Peyton Manning have left in the tank?  And the Panthers?
Which Cam New will show up?

Quarter 3 - Division Time!
Home - Lions
at Vikings
Home - Bears
at Lions

This is VERY interesting!  All conference games!!!  Lions twice!  Lions will NOT have the same
defensive swagger!  But, that offense is ALWAYS dangerous!  Bears, second time around, WHO KNOWS!!!! (AND, retiring Favre jersey!!!!)  Will Cutler still be QB?  And the Vikings?  They scare me the most!  Head Coach 
Zimmer is VERY good.  He know how to play defense!  WOULD LOVE TO WIN ALL FOUR!!

Quarter 4 - Finish Strong!
Home - Cowboys
at Raiders
at Cardinals
Home - Vikings

Two VERY big games!  The Cowboys are the COWBOYS!  Dez Bryant always plays with a chip,
this game the chip will be VERY big!  The Cardinals, away game, will I think, be a battle of playoff teams!  Packer Offense vs. Cardinals Defense!!!  Raiders, will they EVER put it together, I hope not
this week!  And the Vikings, home, still worry me!  (Should of retired Brett jersey this week!  JUST
KIDDING!!!!)

Big TV games?
Game 2 - September 20 - Seahawks - Sunday Night Game - NBC - 8:30 EST
Game 4 - October 4 - 49ers - Sunday - FOX - 4:25 EST
Game 7 - November 2 - Broncos - Sunday Night Game - NBC - 8:30 EST
Game 11 - Novemebr 26 - Bears - Thursday Night Game - NBC - 8:30 EST (Favre Jersey!)
Game 13 - December 13 - Cowboys - Sunday - FOX - 4:25 EST
Game 15 - December 27 - Cardinals - Sunday - FOX - 4:25 EST

We need win at least HALF of these!!!! Home games highlighted!

My predictions will come in August!
