Gameday: Chargers beat up on 49ers in San Diego

Mike Singletary's days may be numbered.
The San Francisco 49ers went into San Diego with high hopes of finishing the season strong. While still in the playoff hunt, the 49ers fell flat. The Chargers beat up on the 49ers 34-7 as San Francisco could not get anything going all night.
After a great performance last week against the Seahawks, 49ers quarterback Alex Smith was 19 of 29 for 165 yards and an interception.
The 49ers' running backs combined for 55 yards and a touchdown.
It was an embarrassing loss for head coach Mike Singletary and Alex Smith who are not only fighting for a playoff spot, but are likely fighting for their jobs.
On Sunday, December 26, the 49ers will travel to St. Louis to take on the NFC West leaders at the Edward Jones Dome.

Anthony Brown eager to help new 49ers teammates beat Giants
The San Francisco 49ers signed Anthony Brown this week, and the cornerback is ready to help his new teammates defeat the New York Giants. However, that help may not come from Brown taking the field on Thursday night.
Brown spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, so he is familiar with the Niners' upcoming opponent, having played in the NFC East for many years. Brown was a starter for Dallas until suffering a torn Achilles in December.
"Just getting here, so I'm just trying to basically tell the guys as much as I can, and if they have any questions on little tips and little pointers," Brown told Larry Krueger this week. "The Giants pretty much show up every week in their game plan, and trying to help the corners and DBs as much as I
49ers Notebook: Deebo is no longer "awful"; Ronnie Bell makes a splash; J.J. Watt praises Niners; Captain Andrew Luck makes Levi's cameo
Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants.

Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.
Not awful anymore
