I don't believe the Packers or Panthers have done joint practices under McCarthy and Rivera, respectively, and the Pats haven't done one with the Giants even though they do this every year.

Surprised the SB champs getting no national TV preseason games especially playing the Packers and Saints.
Yes. Patriots not on it.Lose Remerswaal said:
Is the National TV schedule for preseason out yet?
All games for the last week are either 9/3 or 9/4Lose Remerswaal said:I'm surprised there are no Network games the first two weekends of preseason nor ESPN games the last two weekends (Aug 29-30, Sep 5-6). Of course the last Pat's preseason game will be early (9/3 or 4) due to the early opening night game on September 10th.
Makes sense.Dan Murfman said:All games for the last week are either 9/3 or 9/4
A joint practice with the Packers could be a circus. I remember last year the DC folks said the entire area was overwhelmed and it took forever to get anywhere.RedOctober3829 said:Greg Bedard says that McCarthy might do it for Belichick.
