Things I liked:

Blough committed to the run game. The run game doesn't have to be great to get play action to work. Blough had more hurry up which clearly the offensive line and JD are more comfortable with. I think part of the false start and illegal formation is the long developing plays with a bunch of movement which causes the defense to shift and requires the o-line to hold their positions. Going hurry up we had less of that. The pass protection was very good against a very good defense.

Defense did their part early and at end of the game, through 3 quarters only gave up 14 points. The run defense came up with stops when they needed it the most. That front is working their tail off considering the lack of depth due to injuries. Hit JJ six times and 1 sack. Likely had his but Nabers was relatively quiet.

I thought the coaches had one of their best collective games. Jones went to cover 0 11 straight plays in the last game against Giants. He clearly saw something the players weren't able to implement that week because they marched down the field and almost won the game if Harbaugh wasn't an idiot. When the game matter he did the same thing but this time players executed. Quinn used the time outs wisely and the challenge was the right call obviously but he could've shied away from it and been conservative.

There were things I didn't like but not going to harp on it because it is a W.

McCaffery had two big special teams plays. One on a punt return he sold a catch it paused the gunner and the ball landed and rolled in for a touch back. Then the out of bounds play on the kick off. I don't know how many players know that rule but fans clearly don't because the Meadowlands went nuts when he did it. I still don't understand why a ball that bounces in bounds but a returner can be out of bounds catch the ball and you get it at the 40. Weird rule but worked in our favor.
