Hello Niners fans! I come in peace. I like to lurk in the opposing team's forum the week before the game to get a feel for how their fans are looking at the game. It looks like there's a lot of confidence in this place toward the 49ers this game. Understandable. You have a very good roster, great coach, and possibly a great defense. Allow me to weigh in on the Denver perspective.
The Broncos are a walking injury report. 2nd team all pro safety Justin Simmons is out. Jerry Jeudy probably won't play. Patrick Surtain, KaWaan Williams, DJ, Jones will play. About 8 others have an unknown status heading into the game. The Broncos are dead last in the NFL in red zone offense. It has been a gag reel inside the 5 yard line. 2 fumbles, 2 dropped passes, 2 receivers failed to get the 2nd foot down, and a TD called back over a penalty. On the flip side of that, the Broncos are leading the NFL in offensive yards per drive, so they are moving the ball better than any team in the NFL. The red zone break through will come. When it does, this will be a very good offense. The defense (much like the 49ers) has been great, but hasn't played against top competition. The Broncos pass rush is on point. There is a ton of talent there with Randy Gregory(1 sack, 4 pressures, 1FF, 2 TFL last game), Bradley Chubb (2 sacks in week 1), Dremont Jones (2 sacks last game), and Baron Browning. The interior line is stout with DJ Jones, as you all know. The secondary is solid, but the place this defense is most vulnerable is covering TE's and RBs over the middle of the field. So to no one's surprise it was a big blow to hear that Skittles will be making his season debut for the Niners. He could have a monster game.
Overall, the Niners have a big coaching advantage, and the Broncos have a big QB advantage. Good luck this week folks. Regardless of how this game ends, let's all hope for no major injuries to either team and a great game to watch.
Cheers.
