Well...kinda good one I guess.
The Chargers defense played the best I saw of them in the 7-8 times I saw them play over the course of the season in week 17. And y'know...they gave the Chiefs some pretty damn good punches in the process. I mean we all remember sitting there in the 2nd half of that game down a few points while Miami was hanging around and thinking "Now wouldn't this be the most Chiefs thing ever - Patriots lose and we managed to **** it up against the Chargers..."
The 49ers do have a slightly better version of the Chargers general personnel group. Better DL, slightly better LBs and admittedly worse secondary. ESPECIALLY the version LAC had in week 17 when Derwin James was an absolute force out there. But they're a little better on balance and the Chargers defense is the only real difficulty the Chiefs have faced for awhile.

When you’re talking about defending our offense, I think having a great secondary is more important than the pass rush to be honest (obviously both need to be good). The 49ers front 4 is ****ing stacked, no doubt, but I think they’d be better served losing one or two of those guys for more help in the secondary for this game.
The Chargers also have a much better feel for our offense after playing twice last year and two more times this year.
It’s exactly why I don’t expect us to do any better than the Seahawks defense despite being more talented than they are defensively.
