You give any QB six-to-ten seconds to throw the ball in the pocket or to scramble around and most often that QB is going to make something happen. He has a wind-up throw that under pressure will not last long in this league. The key to stopping Denver's 1950s style offense is to bring pressure from the outside to keep Tebow in the pocket and not give anything over the top. He struggles with the short and medium throws in spaces. He simply can't make those throws consistently. He can throw a ball some 40+ yards downfield though. Certainly no questioning his arm strength. Jeff George could throw it downfield with great accuracy but was crap in the rest of the field.
 
I agree. I'm guessing he will be forced to throw the short to medium throws consistently tonight. Or at least that will be the plan, I don’t expect many Cover Zero looks again after what him and Thomas did last week.
 
Graham injured and the Saints turned the ball over at the 49ers 2 yard line.
 
Aldon Smith looks impressive. Good burst, strength and use of his hands.

One knockdown and a sack so far.
 
TD 49ers.

14-0 is no big deal for a QB like Brees but the 49ers D is playing with great intensity right now & the atmosphere is fantastic.

Edit: Niners have the ball after the Saints fumble the KO return. 3 turnovers already!
 
Another turnover!! Wow!

Edit: stupid commentator, will be overturned on review.
 
TD Saints. Great catch Graham, huge boost to have him back in the game.

49ers offense need to respond now, important 9 mins left in the half for them...
 
Just like that it's gone from 17-0 to 17-14.
 
Intercepted again! 49ers D is doing its best to stop Brees.
 
Looks like the 49ers will need to keep the Saints under 25 points.
 
17-14, excellent first half.

Dream start from the 49ers, only for Brees to respond. 49ers D will have to keep up the same intensity shown thus far if they are to win, the offense needs to do a bit more.
 
I think the 49ers will need 2 more touchdowns. And then of course just maintain the defense. If this game gets into the 30's I think that favors New Orleans.
 
This has been a cracking game thus far. Looking forward to the second half. If Niners keep this aggressive and disciplined defense up they'll win. It's just too good right now.
 
After that Carls Jr commercial I suddenly have an urge for Turkey and I don't mean a burger.
 
Saints start the 2nd half with another turnover. 49ers need to get a TD from here.

Edit: have to settle for a FG. They're not taking advantage of these turnovers.
 
You have to put seven up off that turnover against Brees.

I hope it does not come back to bite them.
 
yeah jveezy must be bricking it. They should be out of sight with all of these turnovers.
 
Still a 1TD game. 49ers offense needs to produce in the final quarter...
 
TD Saints!!!

What a time to take your first lead. Up to the 49ers offense now, they've done feck all in 3 quarters.
 
TD 49ers!!! What a play in that situation.
 
Who was it blocking the last man there? What a hero.

Edit: Crabtree! Awesome block.
 
Brees has 2 minutes to keep the Saints' season alive. He's a great QB but I'm backing the 49ers D to keep him out one more time...
 
What a throw and catch! Jimmy fecking Graham!
