Around the league divisional weekend

Agree, Kyle S. & RG3 got the ball rolling with the read option and pistol at this level. Everyone said a "college" style offense couldn't work in the NFL, they proved it could with the right QB. Other teams have since added it to their offense, we started off with it as our base offense.

I think people were not expecting QBs that can run and pass like RG3.

That Falcons game was a real sham. I actually felt bad for the Seahawks and I hate the Seahawks. Felt like I just watched a horrible 4 hour movie, I feel stupid.

Domes should be banned. I hate dome ball.

I am convinced that if RG3 had been healthy going into the playoffs the Skins would have gone to the Super Bowl.

I disagree. SF is the best team in the NFC and maybe in the NFL.

We would have beat Seattle with a healthy RG3, in all likelihood. Let's just start there.

Well that's debatable but it sure looked that way at 14-0. But SF and Seattle are two teams in the NFC that are young, and have the same type of QB that we do, and they paid a lot less to get them. The NFC is loaded for years to come.

Skins started the Read Option and now SF and Sea had to steal it. And they r getting all the praise for it smh

Definitely. I mean, a healthy RG would have continued the onslaught beyond the 1st quarter.

Kaepernick wasn't starting till game 9, they were doing it during pre-season games (vanilla version).

Exactly the point. If Harbaugh wanted to go full out with it, he would have moved to it from preseason. But he didn't. Then the Skins started showing success, and when Smith had the concusssion Harbaugh took the opportunity to implement it.

Great read. I think many of you need to read this.

Exactly the point. If Harbaugh wanted to go full out with it, he would have moved to it from preseason. But he didn't. Then the Skins started showing success, and when Smith had the concusssion Harbaugh took the opportunity to implement it.

Do you think Smith would be able to pull it off? Harbaugh knew what he had in Kaepernick, i saw it run during their pre-season games with Kaep (vanilla version). So did Bill Walsh invent the WCO? No, Paul Brown did. Same shit, who cares.
