The 49ers travel to Denver for their last game of the season. What a difference a week makes. Last week they still had hopes for playoffs and now, nothing, nada, zilch. 6-10 or 7-9 does it really matter at this point? The 49ers have already started their offseason looking ahead to the 2007 season. This game will mean more to the Broncos still fighting for a playoff spot then the 49ers, who if they win most likely move out of the top ten in the draft. Perhaps the only reason this game has any interest is to watch Frank Gore surpass Garrison Hearst as the 49ers all-time leader rusher for a season. Gore needs only 29 yards to overtake Hearst.Aside from that I'm sure Nolan may play his younger guys more. Expect to see lots of Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker, Brandon Williams and a few others. Just look at this game as an early start to training camp and just remember to tell yourselves, the 49ers have 41 million in cap space and eight picks in the first four rounds of the draft. Now that is something to get excited about.
