This is the live blog for the first quarter of the 49ers’ Week 7 road game against the Denver Broncos. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from my living room.
5:26. The 49ers lose the toss. They will receive the kickoff.
5:30 Touchback.
5:33 DeMarcus Ware beats Joe Staley and sacks Colin Kaepernick on third-and-6 and the 49ers go three and out. Broncos’ ball at their 43 after the punt.
5:39 Peyton Manning throws a three-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders on third and goal. Dontae Johnson ran into the official and fell. 7-0 Broncos. Manning completed a 32-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas on second-and-12 from the Broncos’ 41. The 49ers were playing man coverage and Michael Wilhoite was matched up on Thomas.
5:51 Phil Dawson misses a 51-yard field goal wide left. Broncos’ ball at their 42.
5:52 Kaepernick threw three first down passes on that drive — one to Bruce Ellington, one to Vernon Davis and one to Michael Crabtree. Kaepernick could not convert the one third down he faced, a third-and-4. He threw deep for Crabtree who was flagged for pass interference.
5:55 Peyton Manning throws a 39-yard touchdown pass to Wes Welker on second-and-8. As I was saying, Manning does not play for third downs. Welker beat Brock on that play. Brock was beatenby Emmanuel Sanders for an 18-yard catch two players earlier.
5:56 The refs are reviewing the play to see if Welker went out of bounds at the 1 yard line.
5:58 The refs confirm the ruling on the field. 14-0 Broncos.
6:04 The Niners go three and out. Frank Gore loses a yard on first down, Vernon Davis drops a deep pass over the middle on second down and Kaepernick throws over Brandon Lloyd’s head on third down.
6:09 The first quarter ends after Aaron Lynch sacks Peyton Manning on first and 19 from the Denver 46. Lynch made the Broncos’ backup right tackle fall on his back side.
Let’s do this. If the Jets can hang we should be able too
go niners!
Ok defense play tough.
Let’s go Niners…no one gives us a chance in hell…shock the world…but do a better job than the three and out you just had
Come on offense cant you ever start well. I hate watching us try this spread crap, I really hope at some point we can establish a few plays that we can consistently run with success, rather than this herky jerky stuff.
We always start slow. We need to hold them to a field goal here!
Yeah!
Damn! One more second and we had him. That’ts what makes him great.
defender was cut down by the ref it looked like to me.
If Lynch wasn’t held, Manning would still be on the ground and no td
yeah, pretty obvious grab there.
Probably a fumble too
Tell the god damn ref to get out of the god damn way.
That was a pick play
yarp
Ref set a perfect pick there!
No pressure at all and wilhoite can’t even hold Willis jock. Not even in the same ballpark. All I can hope for is they come out of this game healthy
Lynch held, ref picks the DB. NFL officiating at its finest
The league wants Peyton Manning to break Favre”s record…by ANY MEANS NECESSARY…I’m not one for conspiracies, but…
Need the offense to get going NOW!!!
I just came on here to see if anyone else saw the hold on Lynch on the TD. It is annoying that the game coverage is so focused on mannings td record. During a normal night the announcer would have pointed out the hold- fairly obvious- but it is Mannings night- already has been determined
Been noted and grumbled about, Big
Nice playcalling run right into a stacked defense
nice tosses, Kaep!
Staley is playing on his heals.
PM can have his record we’ll take the W
Nothing like the announcers jinxing the kicker. Never fails
Zebras going to ensure it’s Peyton’s night.
Let’s see how fangio adjusts to Peyton
Lol just call me the conspiracy theorist. Game has already been decided.
Wow, this game could get ugly.
Looks like it could be a very long night, not much appears to be working.
way too much time for PM, need to pressure him. He is tearing us apart.
This is going to get ugly.
apparently, we need to sit BROCK down.
Brock looks slow.
Loving the call to start Brock tonight. Rare Fangio misfire.
Here’s the first question for the coaches tonight:
“WTF were you thinking throwing Brock back into the starting lineup in a game like this after being out for so long?”
thin at db. culliver is out..
who else does Fangio have?
lotta game left
Well it’s obvious were going to have to score a lot because the defense is getting scorched.
BLOOOWWWWOUT!!!
I am a happy fan right now baby! Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Broncos! Peyton is going to get that TD tonight! Harbaugh needs the waambulance!
Did mommy let you back on the computer after your temper tantrum today when the Chickens lost again?
They are getting ZERO pressure on Manning…this game is already ugly
Bench Bethea, gave up that TD easy.
You do not anything about football. Keep sucking on that Pete Carroll pacifier
CK:
Uhhhh we lost big. No answer.
Come on Davis
Can we try to throw the ball down the field on first down?
can we catch the ball?
Hi Niner Al, I just want Harbaugh out as the coach. I want a QB that’s not afraid to pass. I guess you like sucking on CK’s lack of an arm don’t you?
I hope he doesn’t blame his back. That pass was in VD’s hands.
This is making me happy as a 49er fan baby.
So when do we fire Harbaugh?
you’re a special kind of idiot. borderline personality disorder. take your meds.
Gooooo Broncos
I hope Peyton gets that TD!
I am officially done with Vernon Davis.
Nothing is working. This is ugly. How are they going to respond?
Run to the left on first down, throw on 2nd and 3rd, punt on 4th.
Vernon Davis sold out on this team during his holdout. He’s not even focused on helping this team. How many games do we play him before we decide to trade him? Trade him now whole we can still get something for him.
While*
Someone let the troll out of his cage apparently
Who let what troll out? Where?
Getting tired of the Vern drops. Hope the defense figures it out and gets a quick stop here
Is there an ignore function available. It would be nice if I could set it so that certain posts never show up.
Sorry I should have a ? there.
I second that recommendation
Blitz the statue up the middle
I am proud of Vernon Davis. He could be a KC Chief.
Thar’s better
Lynch!
Davis looks like hes in a fog again and the only way Crabtree and Boldin can get open it seems is to push off. A ton of offensive PI’s have been called on our receivers this year.
Boooo, stupid defense. Peyton needs that 509.
Lynch and Aldon. I can’t wait to see that.
+1
Lets Get This Stop Now.
Grant needs to control his blog. Seems like trolls have a free pass.
Grant runs this forum fine. There’s Webzone and .com.
Grant, consider the source of the above compliment.
Denver D is hungry tonight.
seemed like some casual tackling there
Payton had his moment. Now its time for 49er football!
right on
I bet Harbaugh has lost the locker room again.
CK is back to being CK, burning time outs.
Why did they get off the plane?
Big third down here.
Boldin of all people
Dang. ..
where’s Cox?
Lynch was held again on Manning’s historic TD.
