IMHO, Peyton Manning is the Joe Montana of today's League. HE has never choked...he hasn't had the right mix of supporting cast. And the Colts STILL don't have a RUN defense as my Jaguars showed against them. Still...I'm convinced that if they get home field advantage, there's no one better in that dome than Peyton. For the Bears, Grossman is ALMOST a disqualifier. But the DEFENSE is so good, the Bears overcome Grossman's stupidity. No one team is perfect at every position. The Chargers' defense is pass deficient as Washington showed...so...it's still "on any given Sunday". I just think the Bears and the Colts are the best in their Conferences, and I think it would be an exciting game--a great offense against a great defense...a sort of muddling defense (Colts) against muddling offense (Bears). I think it would be a very good game...
I don't think Washington played the Chargers this year but they did give up 41 to the Bengals in a winning effort earlier in the year (The Chargers had 49). Fortunately for Rivers he has LT.
