2024 Pack in London? · PACKERSHOME

First off, I extremely doubt any teams wants to give up a home game against the Packers as Packers fans will pack the place, which is why the Packers were the last team in London in the first place. So I see this as doubtful.

That being said, Packers have road games against all three of the London teams.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the NFL has announced that the Carolina Panthers will host next year’s NFL game in Munich, Germany, while the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings will be hosts in the league’s three games in London, England next season. If you’re looking at this from a Green Bay Packers perspective, this should set off alarms.

They want those sell outs at home.

But absolutely, it's possible, for any one of the games. All this NFL has to do is force it.

Agree.

I think the Packers would most likely play a team that sells out all the time anyway or a west coast team in London.

Go Packers!!!!

I have never liked the London games. Still don't. I doubt the NFL will have GB going to London twice in three years. If they do have to go, better as the away team instead of losing a home game.

I'm pretty sure the Giants gave up a Home game for London. I'm also pretty sure NFL compensates them greatly, so I don't think that's an issue. The NFL wants to grow and leveraging the amazing awesome super historic Green Bay Packers is the best way to do that. I'd be surprised if they sent Packers overseas again, but then again, NFL be greedy and why not put America's Team in front of UK again?

You mean the Packers/Giants game?

That was a Packers home 17th game (or 9th home game) which Murphy gave up and the 17th game (instead of 18) was his idea for this reason... Packers fans can still get their 8 home games, and the 9th can do more interesting things with.

Though he gave the the first one away, I assume he'll be keeping this next one, but then the question becomes does it go to the green package season ticket holders or the gold package season ticket holders? Or neither?

Heck, if I was him, I might start a White package season ticket holders (as Packers colors are Green, Gold and White), and White package gets one game every other year, when they don't give it over seas.

No one is willing giving out Packers road trip games to go overseas, they can simply sell out their home stadiums.

Same with Steelers, but their owner gave up home games.

Either way, I just don't think the money side of things is as vast as we presume it to be. There are a lot of things to factor in too though. Hotels, local economy, etc.

As of now the NFL gives teams the choice of taking their bye after playing in London or Germany. I think it should be mandatory. Most GMs and coaches would probably like to defer their bye until later in the season. Just like a concussed player would probably think he is ok and want to get back on the field. For the health and safety of the players the league should mandate the team take the bye following such a long trip.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
