Do you approve of the job Singletary did as a head coach the last game?

Because overall I still approve. I like the direction he’s going. I’m glad he’s starting Smith, but I had issues with the time management on the last game.

i dont care what people say…this guy has given us something raider fans would dream of….hope, optimism , and faith. Look niners are in first in a crappy division…but hell look how far the cards made it last year….cant say i like alot of the plays that raye picks and like smiley said time management was a issue but hell u are down 21 points it happens

The niners are 3-0 in division play and should be labeled first right?
Why does it say everywhere that the cards are first? …… is that cause
google and yahoo have not made a program that reads division wins etc or
are the cards in first…wtf?

is that he seems very weak on the X’s and O’s side of coaching and I do have to agree with the above poster that his game management needs work. Coaching isn’t just about firing up your team.

As far as I can tell, the Forty-Niners are still one quarterback and one offensive line away from having a respectable offense. Maybe Nate Davis is the QB who will be the one, maybe not. But I don’t think either Smith or Hill is. There are components of a good offensive line on the team now, however I think the current right side isn’t part of that OL; new personnel need to be acquired.

Defensive players have stopped communicating. On whom does that fall?

So, Singletary has generally done the best he can with what he’s got. He’s made some questionable roster choices (e.g., Rossum). On the surface he seems to have things moving in the right direction, but he and the team need to get better. I’ve given him another ‘Yes’ this week.

…I had bad flashbacks to Nolan — and Martz with that delay penalty at the end of the game. Still, this is early in Samurai Mike’s tenure. If he’s making the same mistakes a year or two from now….well, that’s different. Also, Sing’s lack of spin makes it easier to forgive him.

Uh oh

We knew we needed a QB change to spice up the offense, but who knew Alex Smith would play like he did. Credit Sing for making the change. He was also able to explain his reasoning very well. He had togo with Hill at the beginning. Hill basically helped him get the coaching job. I’ve only really had problems with personal decisions like punt returner only 2 rbs 7-8 receivers. But he is still learning. Heck I thought we’d get atleast 2-3 more weeks of Hill. So give the man some credit. We do need a stud pass rusher but give him a break its his first full season.

It takes a lot of guts to bench a QB that took most of the snaps in practice for two weeks and put in a guy that hasn’t seen action in two years. Time management has been a problem since the Cards game last year, and in pressure situations that needs to be remedied. Execution, though under his watch, is the players responsibility and I believe the changes he has and will make is going to make the team better.

I said I go per week last week and for this week, Singletary restored some of my faith in his desire to win. I can understand the case made that he should’ve pulled Hill sooner, but given what he’s done in the first four weeks, there had to have been some slack given for Hill to allow him to redeem himself. Giving him until halftime was long enough and Hill failed. Making the change at halftime showed that Singletary knew that staying the course would be a bad idea and it proved him right. It didn’t get the win, but it provided a chance.

That game was about the QB position. I didn’t start watching until the third quarter. What I saw was Mike Singletary place Alex Smith in charge, with surprising confidence. Alex Smith threw three touchdown passes to Vernon Davis, and a couple great out passes to Michael Crabtree. Smith’s game management rust twice caused the Niners to take delay of game calls. Those delay of games ended up being important.

The only questionable time management moment I noticed was when the Niners waited until after the 2 minute warning to take that timeout.

When he was drafted it was because of his ability, not so much his play or character. He was arrogant and would cost the team in stupid penaltys all the time, constantly underachieving and showing only flashes of what he could really do. Sing has gone and given him the drive to become a great football player, and hes well on his way to being one of the best TE’s in the league. The questions about him being drafted too high are put the rest.

Also because although hes been stubborn with the running game along with Raye. Im glad he was willing to put Alex in there when the moment came. Hill was restricted with what he could do. With Alex the offense has limitless potential. You better believe Smith is going to be throwing plenty of balls to Crabtree as well, he was throwing the ball into some tight spaces when throwing to Crabs… its obvious he has trust in his hands

with Singletary….but I just wonder WHY is Mark Roman still on the team let alone starting/playing?? I know the starting answer is because M Lewis is out with concussion, but the Packers cut him because he sucked, and he has been horrendous ever since joining our team?? Never makes a play……never creates turnovers…..I mean how hard is it to see this? And has there been a Manny Lawson sighting? He should be a force out there, but has declined every game so far? And lastly…….when a NFL team can watch tape a prepare for you knowing you have the same darn offensive tendencies YOU HAVE NO SHOT PERIOD!! 1st down run, 2nd down run, 3rd down pass…..OR 1st down screen(incomplete) 2nd down run 3rd down run………OPEN IT UP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Our potential may be in our passing, no matter what everyone else says
