The 49ers come into this game with an unblemished 3-0 mark. If there is one thing clear about Coach Mike Singletary, he is a passionate coach that expects 100% from his players regardless of the meaning of the game. He established that when he took over mid-season a year ago with a fiery press conference, and continues in the preseason this year as well. So far, his players have largely responded positively. The Niners were 3-8 a year ago but finished strong behind Singletary who closed out the 2008 season at 4-1. He is definitely changing the culture of this team and his impact hasn't gone unnoticed. The Chargers underachieved a year ago. Injuries were a big part of that and they know they are talented but a lot of that talent won't be on the field long for this one, if at all. I like the Niners to finish unbeaten and will go with them in this one.
