Packernet After Dark PAD: From The Vault: NFL Schedule Drops & the Crew Reacts (May 15)
Description
From the Packernet After Dark vault, originally aired May 15, 2026.
Garrett opens the phones reacting to the early schedule leaks: he's fine with the Wednesday game against the Rams, but a Christmas Day game is going to be a tough sell in a house full of family. Ryan takes it further - holidays like Christmas should be off limits for the NFL, period. Drew loves that the Packers get the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game and the Week 11 bye, and wonders why Green Bay hasn't chased international fans. Ryan respects the Packers putting winning ahead of expansion.
Nico is glad the Packers aren't going overseas - Ryan says those games always sound cooler in theory. Batman wanted the Bears in Week 1 to crush Chicago's soul after that playoff collapse, but Ryan would rather see Micah Parsons make his return against the Bears at Lambeau in Week 5.
Jared from Houston loves the claymation release video, but not opening with two road games. Ryan says the NFL was downright gracious: a light early slate, the Bears at home around Micah's return and a home-heavy finish. Beer Cheese Benny raves about the Clay Matthews reveal and might make the Tampa game. Ryan closes by ranking the league's schedule videos: the Bears' was annoyingly good, the Lions' was embarrassing, and the Packers' landed in the middle of the pack.
