    Manning seems to have the helmet on even tighter than usual today, the forehead is purple already.
    Two superb drives though, clinical in the extreme and it still feels like Denver are just cruising along in 3rd gear. You'd imagine they'll slow down the offense deliberately at some point to take maximum time off the clock. I'd argue the pace of their offense hinders them at times.

    49ers have given up on the run completely it seems - and they are better for it.

    They won't win this game without a run game though.

    Apparently no one on this team can catch the ball.

    Broncos have been lucky enough - it should be 14 - 10.

    to be fair that could be partially due to the fact that kap tends to cannon it every time one of the biggest arms in the nfl but he needs to let the power off to help his receivers sometimes he's not as bad as he was but has a way to go yet in that department

    Boldon and Davis should be catching the ball. End of story. Saying he threw it too hard is an excuse and not a very good one. Both of those balls should have been caught.

    not saying for those two balls necessarily, the bolding one in particular should have been caught but for some of the hers drops its a very valid reason maby they should catch it but he should be helping his receivers

    Wow, did not think he had his toe down the first time around at all. Great job by Sanders.

    John Elway had this exact problem early in his career. Receiver 5 yards from him.....50 mph bullet.

    No, if they can't catch it they shouldn't call themselves receivers. He throws it at that pace to fit it into tight windows.

    This is a good thing and not something he needs to "improve". I haven't seen any incompletions tonight as a result of the ball being thrown too hard.

    No fear of Manning throwing it too hard. Every pass is a rainbow.

    Fair play to Manning. He was the bane of my life when he was a Colt, putting us to the sword twice in the playoffs. How lucky we were to get him when he came back from those neck surgeries.

    congrats to peyton manning.

    btw cheeky defensive pass interference earlier cause he didn't want to be the one beaten on the record pass

    Those Penalties are complete drive killers. The only thing that has stopped the Broncos tonight have been penalties.

    Beautiful. Big turnaround in the game there. SF with a chance to make it 21-17 with a score. Turnover and it opens up to 28-10.

    49ers have looked fairly potent in that 5 receiver set though. Still a ways to go.

    No run game means the INT's will inevitably come though.

    Andy Lee wishes he could punt in Denver all the time - 71 yards - no return.

    That might do it though. Nice run from Hillman. Making the most of his chance as starter. Hard to see Monee Ball resuming once he's fit.
