I thought when the pairings were sealed for the wild card weekend that it all looked a bit uninspiring.

 

[Miles Away]

Shit today too.

RG3 knee shot to bits, looks to be out for a year.

I was having a chat with my mate today about how stupid they were by not taking him out of the game. He could barely move and they left him in there. It's not as if he hasn't had knee problems before.

Bama v Notre Dame tonight then MA, who's your pick? Personally I find it very hard to pick against Saban getting another championship.

 

[Miles Away]

I'm with you. Bama all the way.

Kapernick. WOW. Truly incredible performance.

Feel fortunate to have watched it.

:icon_bigg Not too many calls for Smith back at QB now I'd imagine.

I always felt Kaepernick was going to come good to be honest. I was in the camp that thought it was a good move.

Now some middling team will overpay Smith and we will see just how average he really is.

Well he certainly looked good at Nevada and his size, speed and arm strength are made for the pro's.

Part of what Harbaugh has done so well at SF has been to use Smith sparingly, behind an excellent running game. Smith will benefit from that when he signs for somebody else (financially) but whether they get as much out of him as Harbaugh has is highly doubtful I agree.

Arizona, Kansas City leading candidates for Smith I would have thought.

Buffalo too.

Can't argue with that.

Wow. What a weekend!

 

[Miles Away]

Indeed. Great stuff, hopefully more fireworks to follow.

Yeah sad story no doubt Swede. He nearly had the perfect season on the field though, til they came up against a top Alabama side.

 

[SwedeFox]

But it's bizarre. He must have been in on it, right? But why?
