In two preseason appearances Peyton Manning doesn't yet look comfortable in the Denver Broncos' new offense.

In Saturday night's 19-12 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Manning finished with 14-of-21 passing for 124 yards, an interception and couldn't lead the Broncos into the end zone.

"Would we like to be a finely tuned machine going into Week 1? Sure," Manning said, via ESPN.com. "With some newness, some different players and some different things that we're doing, that's what we're working toward. ... Not to make excuses you can still win games as you're kind of finding your identity.

"The biggest thing offensively is we don't have a lot to show for some of the good things that are going on," coach Gary Kubiak said. "We hold the ball for 20 minutes in first half (Saturday night), you're over 50 percent on third down, you think you'd be scoring some points, that's the thing that's discouraging. ... I had us in a couple tough situations that I've got to do a better job with our quarterback. There are things we can fix. There needs to be a sense of urgency to get some things cleaned up."
