Green Bay Make Up Points

Without wishing to make light of recent events in New Orleans, the Saints walked in to what was, in football terms, another hurricane on Sunday afternoon as the Packers gave them a 52-3 beating they are not likey to forget for a season or two.

"This game," coach Mike Sherman reflected, "we needed it desperately."

Speaking on the season so far Favre said. "I was getting concerned" and added that another loss would have made it difficult to lift his team at all.

Green Bay are now a poor 1-4 but don't forget that's exactly how things were a year ago before they eventually won their division.
