NFL's burning question of the day. Can GB run the table?
Even as an avid Packer fan, I am saying no. The Packers are entering a tough stretch of schedule coming off a bye week and the defense really hasn't looked all that good. although the offense can outscore anybody.
The remaining schedule is as follows.
At San Diego. This is worrisome because the Chargers are almost desperate for a win. And it's a road game for the Pack.
vs. Minnesota. Rivalry game and the Vikes are getting better.
Vs. Tampa Bay. Good young team, but The Pack should handle them.
at Detroit. Thanksgiving day in Detroit, the Lions are good. Yikes! I just don't see a good outcome in this game for the Packers.
at New York Giants. Good team, road game, maybe not a good combination for Packer success. But I think the Giants are somewhat overrated, so maybe the Pack can pull this one out.
vs. Oakland. This one should be relatively easy for Green Bay.
at Chiefs. Again, a road game against a decent team. We'll see.
vs. Chicago. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, Christmas night. Rivalry game, one never knows about these games and Chicago has been playing better as late.
Vs. Detroit. New Year's Day, Lambeau Field. Who needs New Yera's Eve revelry? Lambeau will be jumping for this one, especially if it is for the division and/or home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

1. A burning question?
The problem here is that IF they lose, GB will be accused of looking ahead. I don't think the Packers are doing that.

One game at a time!

I even heard someone speculate that GB would sit starters, ala Indy, if they are undefeated at 15.

As a shareholder I would protest and feel Coach wouldn't screw the fans by potentially throwing a game.

Deep breath! Now, Let's get the Chargers!

2. Well if there is one team to sit side by side

with my Phins as the only undefeated team in NFL history---I wouldn't mind it if it was the Packers--- a team owned by the citizens of Green Bay.

3. One minor point.
a team owned by the citizens of Green Bay.

Let's not forget the tens of thousands of stockholders worldwide!

Even at one share, it let's me say WE when I talk about MY, (okay, our), team.

I wonder how many owners will be in SD today

5. My brother (an owner) and his son are there...


There's his ring. He and my dad both own shares. My husband and I bought my dad a share the last time they opened them up. :)

Go, Pack GO!

This is my front yard today

My son, the Lions fan, hates it. :)

4. I'm not going to consider that a burning question and worth answering.
Still too early and as you have provided. Strong competition remains.
