When Bill Walsh was a coach he did the opposite and gave the players lots of energy going deep into the post season.
Also, don't blame Raye, Singletary is stifling the team by telling the OC to be conservative and being stubborn on being a run first kind of team.
Let's face it, up to this day, if you have an established west coast offense, there is no other offensive scheme that is better in putting up points.
The 49ers will never win another championship until they bring back Holmgren and company. The sooner the better. Let's face it, a great motivational speaker don't really translate into a good game day coach. We gave Singletary a chance but he is not the answer! He is simply a so so NFL coach out in the field.
I am starting to take the blame off Raye a little bit too because it is obvious that when he opens it up a little like he did yesterday and in Houston, the offense is fine. Its when the offense is trying to be the Giants and running straight ahead into a wall that he sucks. At this point, you have to put blame on Singletary.
