* Jamie Silva drops the punt, but I can see what he told me later, that the sun does play tricks with the ball. Fans asked me about the open roof before and I dismissed it because I had not heard guys say much. But I asked a few after this game and, yes, you were right, blogger nation. The sunlight is a factor on those kicks.
* Peyton Manning misses Pierre Garcon on that opening throw. I charted Manning’s bad throws through this game and came up with 10, that is, throws he usually makes or even he would classify as off target. That’s a pretty high number for him. So, indeed, it was an off day. The 49ers get some of the credit, but not all. Manning typically makes most of these.
