My criticism of Blough is that he doesn't seem to be able to see and exploit what the defense is doing a lot of the time. The play Diggs scored on at the end was his best call, as they were in cover 0, but he called a number of plays that either were not executed well by JD (both INT's?) or were playing into the D's hands.

Yeah I feel like Blough has plays were players run routes so in same spot one over top and one below but depending on how defenses play, the receivers can end up close especially near the end zone.
That first INT was a forced throw by JD IMO. Chig is clearly are best TE we have but him and JD were not on same page that gamn at all. There were other options but he was focused on getting Chig the ball. That 2nd INT we went to the well on that play one to many times. JD needed to recognize that was not going to be a quality throw.
That said I give credit to Blough for not taking the ball out of his hands on the game winning drive. You have to live and die by JD as far as I'm concerned even if he makes mistakes.
One thing I'd like to see Blough do is have JD be more involved in the run game. Maybe not so many designed runs where he is subject to more hits but more read options that allow him to run with the ball and get down or out of bounds.
