The Packers won the Super Bowl two years ago and went 15-1 last year. But 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh says this year’s Packers will be even better than the Packers of the last two years.

Harbaugh, who is preparing to take his team to Green Bay for one of the NFL’s marquee Week One games, said on KNBR 680 that he thinks the Packers are better than ever.

“This a great Packers team. I don’t think I’m going out on a limb saying [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.],” Harbaugh said, via the San Jose Mercury News.

Harbaugh said Packers quarterback [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is as good a passer as he’s ever seen, and the players around him are special.

“The quarterback is playing at the highest level in the history of the game,” Harbaugh said. “A-plus at the wide receiver position. Outstanding defense that they’ve really added to — they spent their first six picks in the draft on defense. Dom Capers is a tremendous defensive coach. I could go on and on here. This is a great football team that could be expected to win every game they play.”

Those comments sound like an opposing coach talking up a team in order to get his own players motivated to play their best. But considering how many people are picking the Packers to win the Super Bowl ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]), Harbaugh may be right.

LOL! Dime store psych 101... *Best team ever* *Great football team* *Outstanding defense* My ass... Of course--the season hasn't started yet so this team hasn't yet done shit...and they may not do shit this season... Heaping unfounded accolades can produce a couple of adverse reactions from those receiving them... Complacency and doubt...and that's Harbaugh's intention.

If I were McCarthy, I'd have this entire quote from Harbaugh put up in lights on the big screen in silence for about 3 minutes... Then, I'd throw the lights back on and start walking around the room and repeatedly ask--*who believes this?* *Does anyone in this fucking room believe this*? *It's all a crock of shit, isn't it*? We won the big dance two seasons ago...that was special...but what have we won this season? That's right--not SHIT. Can we be all those things he says? Yes--we can...but to a MAN--we need to go out there and bust our humps to make it happen. THAT'S the only way we make sure the wise ass is saying these very same things AFTER the game as he is saying right now. Who wants to take the little Jimbo prick's mocking words of praise and jam them up his ass so he believes it, motherfuckers?!!
