Of course, the team missed two field goals in regulation, meaning the 49ers could have scored 26 points (the game winning three points came in over time). And while the 49ers may have struggled inside the 20, they had no problem moving the ball down the field. The 49ers were so efficient towards the end of the game, they ran 30 consecutive offensive plays including over time.

The 49ers offensive line gave Garcia a fair bit of time to pass, which says a lot considering the Raiders were very careful not to let Garcia out of the pocket. Still Garcia did get hit a fair bit and running lanes really weren’t there for Hearst and Barlow like they have been in the past. Just Swift did do a fairly good job blocking with the line in place of Eric Johnson.

Quarterback Jeff Garcia had an inspiring performance. His 282 yards and two touchdowns included 17 of 19 completions after half time. Garcia was awesome at keeping the team moving down field. The 49ers punted just once, though they did fumble once, and ms two field goals.

Running back Garrison Hearst and Kevan Barlow were not on top of their games like they have been in past weeks. Hearst fumbled early in the game, which of course is a rarity for him. Neither running back excelled at the game, but the 49ers were able to keep the ball moving and Mariucci’s commitment to the run was a big help on to long drives at the end of the game.
