Packers Huddle

The Rams wanted to play earlier in Green Bay, not change the venue.

lI sure hope no one is looking past the first Bear game in Chicago. Or the Falcons game. Or the Saints game.

I know what the article says, but to me the Rams are just as upset as we where years back when we went to Dallas or SF for 3 and 4 seasons straight, the NFL schedulers do this stuff and it makes no sense to me

They don't do anything anymore. It is a very predictable formula and the Rams just happened to be on the short-end of that with us, lately. Happened to us, too, in recent history travelling to both AZ and SF multiple years in a row.

Next year they get us at their house, no ifs-ands-ors about it.

Dallas was on the scheduling committee way back when.

thanks for the schedules NCF, I think this helps explain it a little better, I new they must have a formula, but there are also 6 nfl exects and broadcast people to, I just don't like going on the road for a tough game every year to a team not even in our division, but now I understand why, TV ratings, they want to set up high profile matchups, of course, but I remember getting beat in those yearly repeats, against SF to.

Each spring, six NFL executives take on an enormous task: creating the NFL schedule for the next season.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The schedule makers create hundreds of thousands of possible schedules before picking the final version.
The NFL uses a rotation system to make sure each team plays one another at least once every four years.
Flexible scheduling helps showcase the best late-season matchups to the largest audiences.
The schedule makers consider bye weeks and travel to maintain competitive equity.
The NFL schedule makers — Vice President of Broadcasting Michael North, Senior Vice President of Broadcasting Howard Katz, Senior Director of Broadcasting Blake Jones, Director of Broadcasting Charlotte Carey, Vice President of Broadcasting Onnie Bose, and Broadcasting Senior Coordinator Lucy Popko — must consider the fans, the league’s broadcast partners and many other factors when building the 272-game schedule that spans the 18 weeks of the NFL season and showcases the league’s best matchups and talent.

The schedule makers will have to work around events that are already scheduled to take place in or near NFL stadiums — events that may compete with the games, put undue stress on the playing surface, or create traffic or logistical nightmares. The league begins collecting information from the clubs in January about any events that may create scheduling conflicts.

The schedulers are also constrained by internal factors. A formula determines each team’s opponents every year, and a rotating schedule ensures that every team plays each of the other 31 at least once in a four-year period.

It takes thousands of cloud-based computers to produce thousands of possible schedules — a process that sets the stage for the schedule makers to begin the arduous task of picking the best possible one.

That's an incredibly thoughtful conclusion, I think.

Supposing the Jets start slow and are 1-4 and then Rodgers gets hurt. The backup comes in and goes 4-1 and then Rodgers is healthy again. He sits as long as the backup is playing well. And no 65%.

If the Jets start 1-8 Rodgers gets benched too. No team is going to pass up a shot at the #1 draft pick, or even a top 5 pick.

The only way the Packers get a top 5 pick is if Rodgers plays well until November and then the Jets lose almost all the remaining games with Rodgers over 65% when he finally gets benched. 4-13 is about the best we can hope for with the wins early in the season.

From a discussion standpoint, yes. The reality of it, though, is that Packer fans should indeed expect the Jets R1 pick but it'll likely be the 18-25 pick range as a reasonable expectation.

The jets roster/defense is way to good to go 1-8 or be in the top pick business. They beat the packers last year with Zack Wilson, we’re in the playoff discussion for a little bit, and didn’t lose really anybody.

Without Rodgers they could easily fight to finish .500. The schedule starts hard but appears to soften late.

You never know what can happen. Look at the Rams last year. A flurry of bad luck can change a whole heck of a lot.

What we need to happen is for the Rams to go into Week 12 with a 5-6 record, still playing Rodgers because they have an outside shot, and they lose, and then decide to see what they have in Zach Wilson the rest of the year.

Yes, 18-25 is the most reasonable guess. But we can hope for 4-10.

You made a point about it should never be more than two years in a row and I think that is absolutely correct, excluding playoffs. In this case, with the Rams whining, it is because:

2020 - NFC Divisional Play-off (nothing to do with scheduling)
2021 - We played NFCW and had the Rams and Seahawks at home
2022 - We played same place finisher from NFCW at home

It's pretty coincidental to have a run like this but that is how the formula came out for them and us.

You are confusing schedule (when the game is played) to opponent and location.

Schedule is determined by the league. They pick when the games are played.

Opponent and location is a preset formula that has nothing to do with the schedulers. The formula actually works awesome too because it allows for a higher probability of short term conference rivalries outside of a team's division.

the comment in the article that this is the 4th straight year the Rams will come to GB in Nov. is what spurred my comment, and league execs and broadcast people do have the final say, now if that is determined by a computer as the article seems to say, then reprogram the computer.

again I think the determining factor is TV ratings, where and when has the best chance to draw the most viewers, even the article points that out.

so then you think the Rams are happy to come to Lambeau in Nov. 4 years straight? I don't, true there complaint to the league concerned time of season, but there is no doubt in my mind that they don't want to come here at all year after year

and I'am not confused about this GPG, thanks for that concern, but I'am the guy who brought the article that says when all info is tabulated, the schedulers make the final decisions, and people do have bias.

2022 - v. Rams Dec. 19th
2021 - v. Rams Nov. 28th
2020 - v. Rams Playoffs Jan. 16th
2019 - Did not play Rams

2023 will be the 3rd year in a row where the Packers play the Rams in the regular season at home. If they didn't want to come to Green Bay in 2020 they should have been better.

still, the league has the Rams coming here 3 straight years for possible 3 cold weather games, I don't care how ya want to defend this crap, I never will, I don't support it when it happens to us, and I wont support it for any team, it is fked up
