Man, the Chargers offense looks a lot like the Lions offense. They like to spread teams out and run the ball with 7 in the box. Also not a lot of stuff going between the guards, even though they don't have a tiny RB like Best for the Lions. As for the passing game, the like to get their WRs down the field. Vincent Jackson is essentially the Calvin Johnson of that offense, though not as talented. The other guys can do some damage though if you focus too much attention to VJack. And if all else fails, Rivers obviously loves to hit Gates in the middle and dump off to the RBs. The Bears have allowed a bunch of receptions to RBs this year, but that has actually played right into the Bears hands as they do a good job of rallying to the ball and making tackles. Potentially making all of the above moot, is the fact that the Lions are starting 3 new OL. Brandon Dombrowski is starting at LT and gave up 4 sacks to Kamerion Wimberly after McNeill went out in the 1st quarter last Thursday. Julius Peppers should take his lunch money today. If not, they'll have to pay special attention to him and the rest of the DL can do some damage. Last week looks to be pretty good preparation for today.

 

On offense, the Bears know the Chargers won't give Cutler huge problems. Watch for the deep ball to come back into the offense today. If Eric Weddle comes near the line of scrimmage, that leaves 2 CBs who are susceptible to the long ball alone. Gotta be able to run the ball first though. Wouldn't be surprised if the Bears did struggle running the ball a little today, as the Chargers will commit to stopping Forte first and foremost.

 

Lot riding on this game for the Chargers. Bears still have to take care of business with the Cowboys nipping at their heels for the final wildcard spot and Atlanta clearly not out of it yet.

they are all about licensing as well as running a tight ship. The fact that Bennett knew he would be fined and wore them anyways scared them into preemptive overreaction.

It's crazy how the Bears offense can look so inept at times, and then randomly they will just click and get the ball down the field in like 5 plays before going inept again.
