I felt he was used too much in this game.
Worked like a charm, and he is lethal, so why not. However, part of me thinks he will not last 16 games if they use him for as many plays as they did last night
I find it ironic that you started this thread with your 420th post.
Jokes aside, and IF I am reading you correctly, I somewhat agree...but only to an extent. Champs seldom repeat for a plethora of reasons. Losing key players in FA (etc) along with complacency probably top the list. I think the "target on the back" is also somewhat up there. Every team wants to beat your typically depleted team and have you circled on the calendar. Others change their entire philosophy just to beat you. Pete has a toy that you can't emulate in practice and he is putting it out there and saying..."OK, stop this, if you can't, you lose".
My hope is that we murder these teams in the first 1/2-3/4 then let Percy rest thereafter. But if and when he starts approaching all-pro or even MVP status ..and he's certainly on that path this morning, the trick will be keeping Percy from slipping back into his old, me first, demanding, pouting personality if we pull him before he's ready to be pulled. Thus far, I've seen a huge change in Percy Harvin's 'tude. He appears to be a great team mate and with serious bank, now only wants to win. Here's to Percy's continued good health..mental and physical. Go Hawks!
