SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – The San Francisco 49ers who were so confident only days ago about their playoff chances and the opportunity to win the NFC West have been brought down a notch.
No touchdowns in an embarrassing 31-6 season-opening loss at division rival Seattle. Miscues and poor execution – down to problems getting the offensive plays to quarterback Alex Smith in time. A late meeting back at team headquarters led by coach Mike Singletary, who had some brutally honest criticisms after the game.
All this after such high hopes on the heels of a perfect preseason, the franchise’s first unbeaten exhibition campaign since 1992.
The Niners know they had better get things straightened out in a hurry with the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints coming to town for a Monday night game next week.
