I do agree that Singeltary's game planning and management haven't been the best (its been some suspect challenges, substitutions, and Time outs called this year)


Sing is trying to change the philosophy of our team into a running one, and without any offensive line help, it'd be rash to fire him before he gets the personnel he needs there.

lol .. yeah lets continue to throw on first downs and let our pro bowl running back waste away back there. Gore needs to get his touches or we simply don't win

Besides the 0-line where is the mis-match in personnel and philosophy? imo once we fix our problems there, should be no problem accomplishing what sing and raye are trying to do.

We're 0-3 when Alex Smith throws over 30 + times a game btw.
