No Favors From The NFL Schedule Makers

Just saw this pop through this week.

That's the home and away schedule for the Green Bay Packers. No dates or times or open date, mind you, just the home and road schedule.

The NFL schedule makers have done NO favors when it comes to the Packers. The club is on the road for six of the final seven games.

Let that soak in for a minute.

Six of seven games down the stretch are on the road, including five straight (at Houston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, New Orleans and Tampa Bay). After a brief Lambeau Field tilt with Philadelphia, Green Bay then closes out the season at San Francisco.

Coach Matt LaFleur and his veteran quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, had better be Road Warriors in 2020. That final seven games will be a battle with playoff-caliber teams.

Better give Rodgers a few more weapons. More speed on the offensive and defensive side of the ball had better be a priority in the draft and the free agent market.
