49ers lose 34-7

0

Chargers in victory formation.

All night on NFL network, they've said Mike Singletary should keep his job. Millen and Mariucci said it before the game Joe Theismann just said it again.

Chargers drive: Hey look at Keaton Kristick making plays on defense. The Chargers punt.

49ers drive: Touchdown Brian Westbrook. No shutout. Good connection between Smith and Morgan.

With this loss, the 49ers have assured themselves their eighth straight losing season. You wonder if history is just catching up to them. They had a string of fine coaches with Bill Walsh, George Seifert and even Steve Mariucci. Then they went with two Hall of Fame quarterbacks with Montana and Young, and then they got some excellent seasons out of Jeff Garcia.

49ers drive: Smith throws an interception on fourth down. He got blasted on the play.

No sign of Troy Smith. I think it's Alex's game still

Chargers drive: Touchdown Vincent Jackson, 21-yard pass. Now there's a challenge flag.

Chargers drive: Mis-communication gets the ball down to the 22 on a pass to tight end McMichael. Both Spikes and Willis went to cover the back, which left McMichael wide open.

Third quarter over: The only drama left in this game is whether Troy Smith relieves the other Smith.

49ers drive: Three and out once again with a sack on second down. Anthony Davis is struggling. He's given up two sacks after coming three straight good games in a row. The Chargers are double- triple covering Vernon Davis and nobody else is getting open.

OK, maybe the 49ers aren't giving up. Anybody who watched this tired defense fight on the goal line could see some heart. At least their heart on defense. I don't know about offense.

Chargers drive cont: Chargers have a 3rd-and-1 at the 49ers 3. The 49ers can't stop the run.

Chargers drive: Manny Lawson got hit by Spikes and had to come out. Goldson is back and just got run over by Tolbert.

49ers drive: Another three and out. The 49ers offense just looks futile.
