As a season ticket holder I received an email today. Here is what they told me about the potential to flex games:


While the Packers always appreciate the opportunity to showcase Lambeau Field and our community to a nationwide audience during primetime games, sometimes those opportunities come up with shorter notice than others, which can have an impact on Packers fans and Season Ticket Holders.

Since 2006, when flexible scheduling was first introduced, we’ve become accustomed to having our games on Sundays adjusted to allow for more favorable matchups on Sunday Night Football and in the later afternoon window. But this year, the NFL has expanded their flexible scheduling procedures to include Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football, meaning that a game originally scheduled for Sunday could be played on Monday night or Thursday night, or vice versa. 
The following 2023 Packers home games are designated as potential flex games: Minnesota Vikings (Oct. 29), Los Angeles Rams (Nov. 5), Los Angeles Chargers (Nov. 19), Kansas City Chiefs (Dec. 3) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Dec. 17).  If any games are flexed, an announcement will be made at least 12 days in advance. The schedule for Week 18 will be announced no later than six days prior to that week’s Saturday game.

We understand that the possibility of having games flexed into or out of Monday or Thursday night games presents plenty of potential challenges for our fans, particularly those traveling to Green Bay that may have to adjust their lodging and transportation arrangements. This decision was made on a league level to provide the greatest value to our broadcast partners and ensure a quality matchup, particularly later in the season when there are playoff implications.

We will do everything we can to give as much notice as possible to our fans if any of our games are flexed. More information about the NFL’s flexible scheduling procedures are available here .

According to Adam Schefter, a vote of 24-8 passed the resolution, the eight teams against the proposal being the Giants, Jets, Packers, Bears, Raiders, Detroit, Bengals, and Pittsburgh. SI.com's Albert Breer reported that Denver and Carolina, both of whom abstained from the vote in March, voted in favor of the change this time around. Giants co-owner John Mara openly spoke out against the concept back in late March during the league's annual meetings, “I am adamantly opposed to that,” Mara told reporters. “Flexible scheduling, as it is, is inconsiderate to our season ticket holders and the people who fill our stadiums every week. People have gotten used to going from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night [when a game is flexed]. That doesn’t mean that they like it. This year, we can be flexed to Monday night, which I think is inconsiderate to our ticket holders. “But to flex a game back to Thursday night, to me, is just abusive, and I am adamantly opposed to it.” After the vote passed Monday, Mara wasn't backing down from his stance, telling the NFL Network's Judy Battista, "I’m disappointed, but certainly not surprised.”

It sounded like Yahoo was disappointed with their Thursday Night streaming numbers and Goodell is pushing the idea that streaming is absolutely the future of football on TV.

Goodell was reportedly trying to twist owners arms to vote yes for this.

The NFC North division was the only division more against it. Also in this thread , you can read how the teams that voted against Goodell in the first vote, just happened to get more Thursday night games this year, than the teams that agreed with him. Totally random, and not related, I'm sure 😉

​​​​​Oh, here is another change (in life) that I realized when working with older co-workers. When ending one sentence and before starting a new one, are you supposed to put one or two spaces?

Currently only supposed to put one space, but I guess it used to be taught that two spaces was proper for typewriters and it carried over into the early decades of computers.

I learned that after seeing multiple co-workers do it and asked them, and they told me I was typing improperly lol... I told them I have never heard that, and I wanted to let it go but one of them just hand to look it up because they always "want to learn" (really I think they like challenging people on random subjects) but they found that all major writing guides stop forcing the double spacing by 2002 or 2005 (something like that) and I think APA was the last one that had it as an option which changed in 2019 to only allow single space.

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (28m) : Merry Christmas!
beast (9h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (17h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (21h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (23h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
