Everybody knows how great Barry Sanders is. Everybody knows how exceptional Herman Moore is. And maybe the sky is the limit now that Scott Mitchell has been replaced by Charlie Batch, a quarterback who might, at least, win consistently some day. But the fact remains that these same people came into this game 1-4. Most recently, they had been beaten by the Chicago Bears, squandering a 17-point lead in the process.
Nobody doubts their potential, although there are often reasons to doubt their production.
But this is not about them. This is about the Green Bay Packers, now officially on a losing streak. Coach Mike Holmgren had said so. But their play wasn't large enough. Brett Favre was mortal, again.
