Dear Jed; please follow this recipe for losing the game vs the Cardinals:
-Tell Alex Smith he is your guy and you will do everything you can to sign him next year.
-Have all the fans cheer their guts out for Alex, absolutely no boos. Nope, that wont work; you need to pump cheer noises through the stadium.
-Keep all your starters in the line-up.
-Tell Singletary you are sorry, that you made a mistake and tell him you want him to come and coach the team for just one more game as a token of your gratitude.
-Tell Paraage Marathe to extend Chilo Rachal to a 10 year contract.
This shouldn't be that hard to do.
