After a disappointing season with a 6-10 record, the Packers are already preparing for the 2009 season. As the NFL playoffs are going on right now, Green Bay has released 6 assistant coaches, including defensive coordinator Bob Sanders. With the 2009 NFL draft just a few months away, the Packers will be looking to take advantage because they have the 9th pick in the draft. They hold nine picks in the draft overall.
Also, the opponents for the Packers next year have been determined. Their home games will be against the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals. Their away games will be against the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The schedule for these games won't be released until April.
Cheeseheads can hope for no less than maximum improvement in the 2009 season. It sure will be exciting to see the Packers play again!
