"We put one together – a whole complete game."
-Herm Edwards

Yes, they did. I've been frustrated with the first two games, especially Denver. We had a chance...a real, solid chance...to put Denver down on their own turf for the first time in forever. We couldn't do it, simply because we didn't have enough points on the board at the end.

In all fairness, Damon Huard from two weeks ago wasn't the Damon Huard from today. He had a lot more confidence, and the offense looked like it was ready to put the 'Niners away.

The defense played an outstanding, tough game. It's one thing to score 41 points in a game. It's another thing to keep a team from scoring a single point. I think they only kicked a single field goal, which obviously missed. It's pretty impressive if you can keep a team on the wrong side of the field for pretty much the entire game. They forced some good turnovers as well.

Special teams even played very well. Tynes is looking good, and the fake field goal/punt was great. Colquitt was standing on the 4 yard line, and punted it to the 25. I couldn't believe it. And Dante had a good runback. Penalties were at a minimum. It was an all around solid game.

My confidence in Huard is through the roof. Huard's confidence in Huard is much improved, which is big in and of itself. Let Trent Green get back to 100% before putting him back out there. Like everyone, I hope that's as soon as possible, but it's not like we're as desperate without him as everyone had feared.

I LOVE the fact that there is more focus on the defense. The personel isn't much different than last year, but it's a completely different attitude. But in all fairness to the people complaining, it takes a solid offensive output to win games in the NFL. D can only get you so far. Hopefully, after today, we can have a good enough balance to get ahead, and stay ahead.
