San Diego Chargers now have shown the ability to come from behind and score at will. Credit must go to Schottenheimer. And I am way down on the list of Marty supporters, believe me. But he is letting his offense go. With the game 42-41 in favor of SD, he stuck the dagger (near dagger) into Cincy, punching in a TD with less than 4 minutes to go in the game, giving SD an 8 point lead. That's not the Marty ball I came to know and hate. Giants with their current list of injuries is not nearly the team they were 2 short weeks ago. The NFC is still anybody's to take, even with Chicago's performance tonight. And they still have Rex Grossman. Seattle is the team to look at now. When they get healthy (which is possibly this coming weekend), they may indeed be the cream of the crop in the NFC once again.
