Week 4 - Denver Broncos @ Levi Stadium - 10/4 - 1:25 - Pre-game Thread

This Game will really show us how dominate our offense can be. It will get to face a really good defense, so it will be a challenge, but one that will show us a lot about what this offense is capable of against a quality opponent.

This will be a great test of our depth at receiver and defensive line.

Thankfully our OL has had time to gel over these first 3 games and I think they will be better able to handle Broncos D. Plus, KS seems way more open to increasing protection with RBs and TEs than in prior seasons. It will be a big test for the offense lacking Pearsal and Stribling and likely Evans - those are the main receivers that seem able to beat coverage quick (Pearsal) or just body out the coverage (Strib). It's tough when your quick answer receiver solutions available (CMC and Kittle) are also your best max protect blockers.

Defense - I suspect the Bronco offense will finally be alive in the first half. I hope not, but hope Raheem can slow down Nix and those receivers.

I want to see Deebo truck Hufanga.

I think we win because we are at home.

I cautiously agree.... The crowd at Levi's seems to be a lot more fired up these last two games compared to years past where they are half asleep until later in the season when the team has established itself as a contender.

On the hook and ladder play, Deebo was only 3 yards past the LOS when he got the ball from Evans, but the crowd went absolutely beserk as soon as he got the ball as if they all knew what was coming next...

I am a firm believer in crowd impact. I have a feeling that Levi's will BRING IT

I'd agree to a point if the offense was healthy, but putting our worst WRs against one of the better defenses in the league isn't really a way to show dominance. I'm hoping Kyle can at least work his magic with the playbook and keep it competitive…

49ers favored 3 at home this week against denver and seattle favored 3 over 49ers next week at seattle.

Go 49ers!

Hmm. I don't want to jinx anything but...

The Broncos are middle-of-the-pack as far as points allowed and if we're looking at 'yards allowed'...ESPN shows the Broncos listed as #25 against the pass, 30th against the run, and 29th in total D. Maybe they just looked good against the same ol' sorry a$$ Rams.
