SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – It has been 31 years since the San Francisco 49ers have been this bad.
The winless Niners lost 27-24 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night to drop to 0-5, their first such start since losing seven in a row to begin a 2-14 season in 1979 under first-year coach Bill Walsh. Two seasons later, the 49ers won their first of three Super Bowls under the late Hall of Fame coach.
This team is coming apart in every way in coach Mike Singletary’s second full season in charge. When quarterback Alex Smith committed his second of three turnovers and the team’s fourth of five overall early in the fourth quarter, Singletary removed his hat and scratched his head on national TV.
