SAINTS MAKE HISTORY THE HARD WAY

For the first time in the franchise's 40 year history they opened the season with two road wins. They did it the hard way though. A 13-0 Green Bay lead at the first quarter looked like the opening of last year's 52-3 debacle on the same field. The Saints proved scrappy on both offense and defense coming back solidly in the second quarter for a 14-13 lead at half. Both teams virtually abandoned the run in the second half and a shootout ensued. Farve can still sling it but the lack of supporting cast became all the more obvious as the game progressed. After the early NO miscues Brees spread the ball around successfully. Sean Payton starts Head Coaching career off 2-0 with a team that won only 3 games last year. Next week's Monday Night showdown with the rival Falcons will not only be an emotional affair for the city of New Orleans but for sole posession of the NFC South lead also.
