That is probably not a widely-held sentiment. There no doubt will be a lot of whining on the streets about the Panthers' 0-3 start. There will be tonsils grown sore from yapping about the failures of Kerry Collins, a pastime popularized last season but practiced little this season until he began to hit nothing but air for a while there Sunday. There will be grumping about this and that, fans being the way they are. And things don't look good.
Injuries keep piling up and the road lies ahead the next three weeks.
But if you couldn't enjoy this one, watching Brett Favre work, feeling the fury of the Packers' defense all the way into the stands or your living room, delighting at the Panthers' interceptions and nasty defensive stands and all the other ingredients thrown into this goulash, sailing regattas or ballroom dancing may be more your style. That may be where the thousands of fans were who had tickets but didn't show up. Must have been tied up in corporate meetings. Anyway, Favre alone was worth the price. He also threw three interceptions, which helped keep the Panthers in the game and had scribes from the frozen tundra asking his fellow players what was wrong with Favre.
