Matt Barrows:

Jim Harbaugh: preliminary result on NaVorro Bowman is a torn ACL.

 

[ChrisPozz]

From the 49ers twitter:

Harbaugh said they expect that Mike Iupati suffered a fractured ankle.

 

[Golden Spur]

Hope Bowman comes out of this alright - guy is a warrior, and a great player.

I'm sorry for Bowman, and I have no excuse for how Richard Sherman acted after the game, I'm even feeling a little down after that. I should feel great, but RS ......wow........I'm disappointed.

Great season SF.

Me neither. Hard to say but true. I feel really bad for Iupati and Bowman and both of their families.

 

[BINGO]

Devasting injury. For a LB that relies on movement and speed, this injury is very bad. Hope we can pull out a miracle in seeing an amazing recovery.

he will be fine. he will fight through this.

Bowman needs to call AP and get whatever he was on. came back and broke dickerson's records

Same here, really deflated.

seems like we always get some big injuries when we play Seattle.

Even if we had won tonight, these two injuries would have been tough to handle against the offensive machine (and NFL desire for a storybook ending) that is Denver.

While I think Seattle is the better team, there will be a key penalty (or 4) against Seattle that will result in Payton getting the glory.

Enjoy the win. Hopefully classy guys like Russell Wilson cancel out the Richard Sherman's of the world. But I'm still pulling for the Broncos!!

Yeah no kidding this Super Bowl will be just like last year. It was clear the NFL wanted Ray Lewis to go out a Super Bowl Champion. There is no way they are letting Seattle beat Manning in what may be his last chance.

You do have to feel a bit for Seattle fans in this as well. I think it was Bettis last ride when the refs clearly screwed them out of the Super Bowl to insure he got the win.

Fighting through it and making it back to being Bowman is 2 different things.
We need to draft an ILB this draft, no doubt about it.

 

[Madskillz]

WOuld bowman be out the whole year?

 

[PaythePiper]

Bill Williamson just tweeted that his reovery would last into the summer

 

[purguy12]

both will be fine

Yeah, wouldn't be opposed to an ILB in the first three rounds.

Or QB for that matter. But that's another thread (and no, I'm not just upset about the INT at the end, I'm basing it on the whole body of work).
