Packers will learn 2015 schedule Tuesday

GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers already know who they'll be playing in 2015. They also know where.

On Tuesday night, they'll find out when.

The NFL will announce its full 2015 regular-season schedule on Tuesday night, the league said Monday. The Packers already know their opponents based on the league's annual schedule formula and rotation.

Home:Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers.

Away:Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders.

Last week, the Packers' preseason schedule was released, although it was without exact dates for their road games at New England and at Pittsburgh and home games against Philadelphia and New Orleans. Those will be finalized as well

The Packers figure to receive their usual share of prime-time games, and their home games against the Cowboys, whom they beat in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, and the Seahawks, whom they lost to in the NFC Championship Game, are good bets to get prime-time treatment.

Their game at Denver could also be chosen for Sunday Night Football on NBC, Monday Night Football on ESPN or Thursday Night Football on CBS/NFL Network because it will mark only the second — and presumably last — time that Packers two-time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Broncos five-time NFL MVP quarterback Petyon Manning face each other. Their only previous meeting was in 2008, when Rodgers was in his first season as the Packers' starter and Manning was still with the Indianapolis Colts.

The Packers also figure to get a prime-time game for the unveiling of quarterback Brett Favre's No. 4 on the north end-zone façade, and their home game against the archrival Chicago Bears would certainly be a logical choice. Favre had tentative plans to return to Lambeau Field each of the past two years for prime-time games against the Bears, but his camp pulled out of talks to come to the 2013 game (when Rodgers broke his collarbone) and he canceled his plans to come last year when Bart Starr's health problems were going to prevent the Pro Football Hall of Famer and former head coach from attending.

In addition, the Packers have played in Detroit on Thanksgiving virtually every other year since 2000. They played there in 2001, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013.

Depending on how the schedulemakers made out this schedule, this will be a very good year to potentially go undefeated. Outside of the game at Denver, I would be hard pressed thinking any game on that schedule looks like a loss and I'm not so sure we won't win at Denver. Depends on our D and CB situation and how far Manning has fallen off. Plus, I don't think we can stop their running attack.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm excited to finally watch the Packers play the Seahawks in Lambeau. It'll be interesting to see how much different it'll be for the Seahawks to not have that advantage while playing against our offense.

Also curious to see who the Packers play in Week 1. Seems like the NFL give the Packers their toughest opponent right out the gate the past few seasons.

Sounds like this is a Week 2 matchup per Profootballtalk.com...

Seattle at Green Bay (reportedly set for Week Two) — The Seahawks can’t break the Packers’ hearts again . . . can they?

beast (18h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (19h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (19h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (19h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
