The Pursuit of Perfection

The Packers are on a Pursuit for Perfection, Perhaps? Can you say that 5 times fast? The Green Bay Packers are now 11-0 after their Thanksgiving win over the divisional rival Detroit Lions. With 5 more games left to play, I'm not too sure they will lose. The Packers have the Giants, Raiders, Chiefs, Bears and Lions left to play . Only the Chiefs out of those teams have a losing record, so this is no cake walk for the Packers. Green Bay is head and shoulders above their competition and they prove it every week.

The last team to attempt perfection was the New England Patriots. We all remember how they came up short in the Super Bowl against the Giants. The Patriots acknowledged their pursuit of perfection. Will the Packers even care if they are perfect? It is a strong possibility they will sit their starters in the last 2 games of the season because they will likely remain the number 1 seed in the NFC. Personally, I think Aaron Rodgers will not allow that. I think the Packers will deflect talks on perfection. Whether they admit it or not the discussion of perfection is out there.

The Packers don't have to play a perfect game and can still beat everyone on their remaining schedule. Green Bay just has so many weapons on both sides of the ball. Even when not running on all cylinders they are better than a lot of teams playing at 100 percent. If Greg Jennings and Donald Driver are having bad games Aaron Rodgers can always rely on Jordy Nelson and JerMichael Finely. Not to mention two great running backs in Ryan Grant and James Starks. On the defensive side of the ball if Clay Matthews isn't sacking the quarterback then Charles Wooden is picking him off. At this point of the year I am not just giving the Packers the Super Bowl but I am knighting them the heavy favorites. Not saying it will be easy but it can be done. This Packers team is better than the Patriots of a couple years back and they will prove it by beating the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl. Just for the record I will be cheering for the Ravens of course.

Until the Next time.....
