Go Cards. Yeah, I know we put up the performance last week of a scratch team that met in the carpark. I'm beginning to believe you can't have a nervous dwarf as your QB.
Wildcard format was expanded by one team last season. The only difference this season was the extra regular season game. The 9ers were seeded 6 out of 7 so they would have got in under the old format. I'm not sure if 3 have qualified from one division before but the divisions are really lopsided, that's the problem as I see it. The NFC West has been tough for years, I'm glad to see Arizona doing well as opposed to the Seahawks. Followed Kyler from his rookie season. Been a 49er fan since 1984 though through thick and thin
