Chargers always start off like this. They'll kick it into gear like usual, hopefully they won't miss the playoffs by a game for your sake. But seriously with their GM playing hardball with their top players, I wouldn't feel good about the chemistry of that team.
I also would not panic yet, but I agree with jho in that the Chargers GM has messed up their team chemistry. Things should play out soon for the Chargers since they have the talent. If they can overcome the special teams snafu and the bad mojo from their GM they will roll.
But the main difference for the Cardinals from last year to this year is at the QB position. I think they're already regretting big time that they didn't trade for McNabb. I think that was the perfect matchup as McNabb could have picked up where Warner left off, and the Eagles also would have preferred to trade out of division.

Yep this is true. During the offseason the Cardinals tried to lure back Warner but he said to them that he was done for good. Some players tried to get him to come back like the Vikings did with Brett Farve but he still said no.
