My Percy Harvin Blog

I am going to make a prediction before the opening game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Sunday Night Football. Most of the pundits have already announced that the Bears are a better team than the Packers because of the signing of Jay Cutler. I do not share their pessimism about the Packers.

In fact, most of the publications have placed the Packers behind the Bears and the Vikings in the race for the NFC North. This just goes to show you that most sports writers get caught up in the media hype and let it seriously affect their predictions. And there was plenty of hype surrounding the big trade involving Jay Cutler and all the soap operas with our darling ex-girlfriend of a quarterback, Brett Favre.

Needless to say, I do not agree with them. I have said this before and I will say it again, the only thing that can stop the Packers this season is injuries. If we can escape the season relatively unscathed, then I will be shocked if we do not win the NFC North and make all three other teams look really bad in the process. Look at the difference in the quality of wide receivers between the Packers and the rest of the three teams in our division. The only other decent one is Calvin Johnson, and Percy Harvin seems to have some talent as well.

You can take all the receivers from all three teams, pick the best five, and I would still probably pick our wide receiving core. Lets see here, that would probably have to be: Calvin Johnson, Percy Harvin, Devin Hester, Bernard Berrian, and Sydney Rice. Yup, I would still have to go with the Packers wide receivers.

I know that we are not so deep in all of the areas on our football team, but I do not care. If we can escape with relatively few injuries, we are going to kick the crap out of some teams this year. Period.
