<p>The most un-Denver (in the current guise anyway) victory ever. <strong>no passing touchdowns</strong>, 3 rushing touchdowns, a guy rushing for over a hundred yards, and a defense that only gave up 14 first downs and 167 yards (and forced a safety). </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hayne really was a convenient scapegoat for a fucked team, and look how that played out. </p>

<p>That is typical for the currrent Broncos. Peyton Manning is physically broken</p> -
<p>340-yards against the previously unbeaten Packers says bullshit</p>

<p>They really do look awkward when having to adlib. </p> -
<p>Some BIG 49ers news today:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Colin Kapernick is benched in favour of Blaine Gabbert. Blaine Gabbert. You know you've been sucking when Blaine Gabbert replaces you. Might be time to start scouting Stanford's Kevin Hogan and Michigan State's Connor Cook for the next draft.</p>
<p>- TE Vernon Davis is traded to Denver Broncos with a 7th round pick for a 6th and 7th round pick. Great player in his time and deserves a shot at a title.</p>
<p>- Jarryd Hayne clears waivers and is signed to practice squad while two journeyman RBs are signed.</p>
<p>- Coach is still not fired.</p> -

<p>The guy is on a hiding to nothing. He has skills (He played his part in getting them to two NFC title games and a SB), he is not the finished article. But all of the shenanigans in SF have had a detrimental effect on his confidence and his development. You don't just turn to shit overnight and he did a little more than take an armchair ride during their run</p> -

<p>Yeah but CKap hasn't done much to improve his style. He should be slowly moving in the Cam Newton direction but appears to have rested on his laurels after the SB appearance and his passing game has suffered badly because of it.</p> -

<p>How do we know this? All I know is that he spent his offseason training with Kurt Warner to upskill. We are no the outside looking in but that should suggest he is trying. With Davis going the fire sale of his weapons continues. Perhaps Boldin is next?</p> -

<p>Because his passing game is still shit and it until it improves the only two options are he is resting on his laurels or he actually can't pass that well. Anyway it can't all be placed on the coaches (unless it is Greg Roman because I hate him). Even when he was having success his passing game was the weak point. It was off set by boot legs and a Frank Gore running game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boldin to Panthers would make sense imo as Carolina have no WRs of note and Boldin would pick up a new playbook quite easy.</p> -

<p>The way it is going they might try to move Kap for next season. Swap with RG3? LOL</p> -
<p>Could actually see Baalke doing that sadly.</p>

<p>It might be too late but like the movies someone needs to find a way to transfer Eddie De Bartolo into Jed York's body</p> -
<p>Former Saints RB Pierre Thomas has signed with the 49ers to be the lead back. I thought he was retired.</p>

<p>Bills need to beat Jets on Thursday. I realize it's only midpoint of the season, but this game has enormous playoff implications. With Roethlisberger out and so many AFC teams currently sitting with awful records, the race is wide open and Bills at 4-4 actually have a shot at a wild card.</p>

<p>As an aside: since Hayne got dropped, Channel 7 here are no longer playing 49ers games by the looks of it.</p>

<p> </p>
<p class="" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans Regular', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">IT appears to be a case of no Jarryd Hayne, no San Francisco 49ers on Channel 7 for the remainder of the NFL season.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans Regular', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans Regular', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The network had been screening every 49ers game this season (apart from the Friday and Tuesday games owned by ESPN) but instead chose to show the Denver Broncos trip to play the Indianapolis Colts in the 8.25am timeslot on Monday morning (AEDT).</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans Regular', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">San Francisco has been pretty hard to watch this season with or without the Aussie rugby league convert, so it was no great surprise Seven opted for Peyton Manning’s visit to the city he became an NFL legend.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans Regular', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The decision was justified as the Broncos and Colts game went down to the wire, but the 49ers also produced a surprisingly entertaining win against the Atlanta Falcons at Levi’s Stadium.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans Regular', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Back-up quarterback Blaine Gabbert — who replaced Colin Kaepernick this week — produced enough on offence in the first half for the Niners defence to hang on for a 17-16 win.</p> -
<p>Gabbert did a nice job - he looked good in preseason and continued that on - it's not inconceivable he could be another Alex Smith style starter for the 49ers - good enough to win with - a former top 10 pick who got thrown to the wolves for a terrible organisation - there might be something to work with there. The next two games v Seattle and Arizona will be a great litmus test of if Gabbert is worth sticking with beyond this season as a possible starter. At the very least the 49ers are getting some of their younger players some good game time (Ellington, Patton, Tartt, Ward, D Johnson etc). </p>
