Packers still in prime time

For at least one week in 2008 the Green Bay Packers will play in prime time. The Green & Gold will open the season with a home game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. What a way for Aaron Rodgers to begin is reign as starting quarterback. No pressure there.

Personally, I like it. Rodgers will have a chance to come out show the world the Packers are still a force to be reckoned with even without the great Brett Favre. The Vikings are a team Rodgers should be able to beat with a little help from his defense in shutting down Adrian Peterson. A big win and the Packers will be off and running.

The rest of the schedule might come in out in the next week or so and I could see the Packers getting another Monday night game and maybe even a Sunday night game

More to come…

    I don’t think anything should be made of this being Aaron Rodgers first game, if the league is trying to cash in on anything it is the speculation that Favre’s number will be retired during this game. The Packers were successful last year and have a huge following deserving of prime time spots, the Vikings on the other hand are suspect. I’m always glad that the Green and Gold get prime time exposure, it shows the respect that has been gained since the 90′s.

    “I would like for Packer fans to all think their organization is being run well and people like me know what we’re doing,” he said. “But that’s not as important as doing the right thing.”

    Let’s keep this in mind as the inevitable draft arguments begin.
