Yeah, but Norv Turner coaches this team. Plus they aren't good. Say what you want about their theoretical talent level, but sd finished second last year in a weak division and are as mediocre as their record suggests. They may not be terrible but they sure as he'll aren't good. If Chicago loses it's a letdown on their end. Agree. The Bears should win this game, all things considered. Better team, at home, west coast team travelling to central time zone. But the extra time off (after 3 games in 16 days) and the desperation scares me. I get the desperation talk but I'm not sure it applies to San Diego. They've started slow in previous years before turning it on, but they've also completely crapped the bed midseason and ruined their chances. People have been talking about the unbelievable talent on that team for 6-7 years, but I think the talent has declined and they are just another AFC West team, albeit with a quarterback who may not be a joke. Agree again. The extent of their talent is in the offensive skill positions. Rivers, Matthews, Jackson, Gates. Their defensive talent has long been depleted. Other than Phillips and Weddle, they don't have any player that's above average on that defense. And Phillips probably won't play this week.
