Packers start with 49ers, Bears, Seahawks
With less than 30 minutes to go until the 2012 regular-season schedule is released, folks are scouring for every possible morsel of information.
Courtesy of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, three Packers games have been leaked. The first three.
They open at home against the 49ers, in the doubleheader slot on FOX. Four nights later, the Packers host the Bears on NFLNs Thursday Night Football.
Then, a full 11 days later, the Packers travel to Seattle for a Monday night game.
And so, before 30 teams will have played their second games, the Packers will have already exhausted 25 percent of their home schedule, at a time when the tundra will be anything but frozen.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing ?
