Rodgers and the Packers turn their attention to the Saints
While the “Fail Mary” and it’s effects are still being talked about and highly debated, the Green Bay Packers can no longer linger about what happened Monday night.
The next major test for the team comes this Sunday when the New Orleans Saints come to town.
The Saints have struggled with their own controversies, seeing a number of players suspended during the off-season, and head coach Sean Payton suspended for the entire 2012 – 2013 season.

Last season’s opening game saw the Saints travel to Green Bay, which resulted in a Packers 42 – 34 shootout victory. Cobb believes the Packers’ offense can replicate last season’s week one win, while the defense will not allow the same result.
