Thursday Night Season Opener

The Super Bowl Champions traditionally start of the season on Thursday Night with the first game of the season. MNF crew will do the game on ESPN.

There are 2 strong possibilities, The Saints or the Bears.

I don't think that game is scheduled with a non playoff team.

Which team do you think it will be and which team do you hope it will be?

I think it will be the Saints. I want it to be the Saints.

I don't want a Bear game cancelled because of the CBA troubles and have only one game between the two in Chicago. Also I don't want too much emotion for the season opener. There will be plenty just to have football going again. A game against the Bears that early would have too many players overexcited.

Saints or Bears.

I would prefer the Saints. Packers vs Bears games are always anything goes and sloppy as hell. I think Packers vs Saints would be a more exciting season opener.

Saints in the meeting of the last 2 Super Bowl winners would be awesome.

Aren't the season openers always the Super Bowl winner vs. the team they beat in the conference finals?

which means the opening game will be

Bears @ Packers and the Packers get their rings at the start.

Personally I don't like a great match-up to start the season, as it doesn't mean much... but put it mid season it could mean a ton...

Also I don't like facing the Bears... as said they're always sloppy games which the Bears are able to keep it close even when the Packers are a lot more talented team... and sometimes are able to win them if the Packers make just one too many mistakes, which they always make mistakes against the Bears for what ever reason...

The Vikings. I want to rub it in to Vikesrule, then say "I told you so" when the Vikings get beaten by 30+ points. Their OL sucks. Formo's in denial.

Isn't it normally the Super Bowl winner vs the team they beat in their championship game?

They wont always have that team on their schedule. I know they did that for Saints v Vikings but when was the last time they had that match up before last season?

Martha Careful (3m) : I love seeing Dallas lose

Mucky Tundra (33m) : The Red Rifle is on fire in Las Vegas! 3 TDs in the first half!

Mucky Tundra (2h) : @mattschneidman · 2m The fire alarm is going off inside the Packers locker room here in Nashville.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Gonna need a drink after looking at my picks for the early games in Pick'em

Zero2Cool (6h) : James Jones. Y’all must not know, Dr. Mackenzie🤣 he was not going to let Jordan love play today.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (7h) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

hardrocker950 (21-Sep) : If Clifford is active, not likely to see Jordan play this weekend

Mucky Tundra (21-Sep) : QB Sean Clifford and CB Robert Rochell elevated from the PS for the Titans game

Zero2Cool (20-Sep) : Love questionable. Morgan is out. Valentine is doubtful

Martha Careful (20-Sep) : Rodgers and Lazard off to a very strong start

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Josh Jacobs. Limited.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Can't find anything on Jacobs :(

wpr (19-Sep) : Do you know if they gave Jacobs an extra day off? I hope so.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : WR Jayden Reed (calf) and G Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute) returned after sitting out Wednesday.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Packers are in pads and so is Jordan Love. Second straight day of practice for QB1.

bboystyle (18-Sep) : If Love comes back, we win in a blow out

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (17-Sep) : Packers placed RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : Or is that the Rusty Red Rifle because of his age?

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : The Red Rifle Returns!

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Panthers are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : You know if you didn't say anything you probably could have changed it and no one would have noticed ;)

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Vikings over the 49ers, Bucs over the Lions
