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.

Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam

The San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason with several questions after key figures, such as Jimmie Ward, Mike McGlinchey, Samson Ebukam, and Charles Omenihu, departed in free agency, creating the possibility for position battles in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
