Based ony (limited) understand of this graph, Packers are expected (by PFF) to have the 4th most relaxing schedule compared to the team's previous year's schedule.

Just to be clear, not the 4th easiest (which would be straight down), but 4th easiest compared to the previous year (which would be bottom right corner).

Every team changes every season. There's like what 20%-40% roster/coach turnover each franchise? How can we use last seasons anything to this current season? I just cannot get behind the strength of schedule stuff. And this topic reminded me of that. The 2023 Packers aren't playing the 2022 (insert team).

Though in schedule predictions, I believe I had the Packers going 10-7... mainly because I thought the schedule looked weaker (but as you said, those teams could be much better this year), but also had Packers 2-4 and finishing 3rd in the division.

I follow Packers closely (duh right?),  but other teams who might go from a DC who's conservative to one that is aggressive -- I'm not considering how that might fluster a first year starting QB vs a veteran QB. I mean, I'm aware of that stuff, but I do have a tiny bit of a life outside of football! I can't do that for all what 12-13 opponents? haha

But the media world needs something to talk about so here we are. I think my gripe is half way through the season it's used as a punching bag narrative against teams. Comments like "well, they had the weakest schedule and still are only 4-7 so they really underachieved".  How convenient, right? They put a team a perceived pedestal, just to talk shit about that team not meeting "their" established expectations. Sports bruh, sports.

Absolutely! And towards middle to later season, at times.it has annoyed me they have not switched from last seasons strength of schedule to the current years strength of schedule or strength of victory, or something in the current year.

Week 1 is always weird... some teams seem ready to play, others aren't... sometimes the teams that barely win all year get that win in week 1. So I try to throw that out once you get enough data points after it, but say starting week 6 with data points from weeks 2-5 is enough to start looking at the current year, but they still look at the past year.

I never buy into the "strength of schedule", to many variables that change teams throughout the year.
Injuries being  #1.

Quite frequently it's not who a team plays, it's when when they play them.

Then as things start to sort themselves out, come week 17 and 18, there are teams who may be resting players, or teams who are tanking. Which I never agree with, but it does happen.
What I do like comparing The 2022 Packer Schedule to this years is.......
1. A lot less travel.
2. Many games being scheduled in the early slot on Sundays. The NFL is filled with creatures of habit, especially for this years Packers being so young on offense, it will a benefit to them to stsy on a somewhat regular schedule.
I am hoping for a fast start the 1st 5 weeks.
I think that The Packers will be ready and could surprise The NFL by going 4-1 or may I be bold , 5-0.
They get rid of 1 Thur. Night game and I Mon. Night game before the week six bye.

At 4-1 , The Packers would reach 10 wins by playing :500 ball for the rest of the year.

I believe The Packers can do this, as long as the "injury bug"  doesn't bite to hard.

League might be trying to help Love develop a little bit. Packers have a nationwide following, sell plenty of merch. Gotta keep those revenue streams alive. 

Softer schedule, week 6 bye. 

Good season for Love to get his feet wet.

NFL makes the schedules, but they don't select which teams will be opponents in a given year.
