1. I work in immigration, I’ve heard that getting a visa to Brazil can be a long process. If you plan to go, I’d suggest getting that ball rolling as soon as they announce

2. No!

3. I’d love to go, but there has been some smoke that it’s the Browns. So my hopes are low.

4. I would really rather it not be us

5. I’d be very happy for our Brazilian fans if this happens, but selfishly, I’d be very upset too because Philly is the closest city I can go to a game this year. If the game is in Brazil, the next closest would be either Nashville or Detroit

6. No thanks. Cool experience but I’d rather have the home game

   Edit- Not a home game for us. I’m dumb.

7. Eagles would probably prefer to host the Browns there. If they’re hosting the Packers there’s a very strong chance it ends up looking like a Packers home game.

8. No thank you

9. I mean, it would be like a home game for us. Put us on MNF next week for an extra day’s rest and we good. Rather play Philly in São Paulo than in PA

10. My credit card is ready

11. Fuck that. I hate these fucking international games.

12. IF we are going to play a game abroad this season, I’d rather it A: be in week 1 to get it out of the way, B: have it count as one of our away games, and C: have it be in Brazil where we supposedly have a pretty large fanbase.

    So it seems like this might not be so bad if it does end up being us.

13. The speculation on the Eagles side it is the Browns.

14. If it’s not a home game I think it’s kinda cool to be the first in Brazil

15. I can’t believe they are getting two green teams to play in the Arena 😭

16. I’m probably in the minority here but I don’t want The Packers in Brazil.

17. I hope we don’t lose our extra home game, I want 9 regular season home games at lambeau

18. NO ITS MY ONLY CHANCE TO SEE A PACKERS GAME IN PHILLY

19. I hope for any Packers fans in Brazil it’s us!

20. Don’t we already know it’s the Browns?

21. Brazilians have long been Packers fans due to the country’s green and yellow colors. I’d rather GB not be the opponent, but I have a feeling they will be.

22. Please no.
