Hahahahahahaha!
I`m very impressed by the first half of this game. If this were a regular season game, we would have won this. We dominated the first stringers on both sides of the ball.
Little disappointed Omon didnt play.
OT I think that Brock did great. And he will continue to get better. These receivers have got to stop dropping the ball
Every see how bias the refs were in this game. What a damn joke. Get rid of those refs like yesterday!!!!!!!
Me too AB, but I don’t see how we have room for him. McGahee, Ball (coaches love him), Hillman, and Moreno (IMO)..
Don’t think I’ll watch the Jets game. Can’t stand the thought of watching Rexy after a game with Haubaugh. Might be butthead overload.
I agree Strand
I agree cat. Too bad they couldn’t make the catch, because we would’ve had more reps to see our other guys on offense…
I bet Omon plays alot thurday.
The niners fans are ridiculous. Their first string offense looked awful and they’re thrilled they won the game. I call for a rematch!! Starters against starters for the whole game! Let’s go! NOW!!
And Bubba Caldwell is suppose to have better hands than that.
In essence, the 49ers had their rears handed to them. We over-powered them in the first half. The whole game does not tell the real truth.
So we have cuts coming tuesday. And we have a game thursday against the Cardinals. Lets get this preseason over with.
new blog
Oh no, I thought cuts were tomorrow?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Too Funny!!!!!!!
It’s official. Brock Owsweiler totally sucked. 50 yards of total offense for almost 3 quarters of the game? He needs to go on practise squad. Weber showed more in five minutes than Oz dis in 30.
ozzy was better than the stats he put up HMD did you even watch the game? His recievers had ALOT of drops today where he put the ball on the money.
Hey Eternal: Yes I watched the game, including Osweiler (unfortunately). Dropped passes? Weber threw balls right into receivers hands and they dropped them in one series. “Better than the stats” are just excuses. Seriously, Brock did well? I can’t remember one good series out of this guy in three weeks.
Sorry I meant “three balls right into receivers hands in one series.”
Always read these blogs but never posted……figured I may as well join in on the action
PM killed it!! and if he stayed in even for the second QTR yet alone the whole game the Broncos would have easily beat the 9ers
On another note 3 scoring drives in the first QTR to set up that 17-0 lead was great watching! and if we had of waited to recover that surprise onside kick they said PM would have had one more drive!
On another note though the Broncos D in the first half was amazing!! They only gave up I think 24 rushing yards in the first half which included an 11 yard rush!!
To put on 24 first half points against the 49ers D and back it up with some classic orange crush stopping the rush it’s going to be a great season!!!
