First he drops his pants, and now he can’t seems to make out what is reality, so says Ann Killion of the Mercury News…

“Lopsided in what way?” he said, “When I look at lopsided, I say this team went out and got the crap kicked out of it. I don’t think there’s any other team this year — maybe the last couple years — that played Dallas more physically, more sound than we did yesterday.”

Well, the Cowboys lost to Washington, New York, St. Louis and Arizona, so I’m pretty sure at least one other team played Dallas as sound. And if the 49ers were so physical, why did they forget to jam Terrell Owens at the line of scrimmage?

On Monday, Singletary sounded disconcertingly like his old boss Mike Nolan. So we really are back to square one, with a team that not only gets crushed on the field but also with a coach engaging in delusional thinking.

To this point, Singletary’s honesty has been refreshing. He hasn’t been afraid to say what’s on his mind, even when it’s not politically correct.

He apologized after a lousy home performance, he made it clear he wouldn’t tolerate nonsense from players, he yanked a disastrous starting quarterback and he stood up to offensive coordinator Mike Martz. All of that was a needed move toward reality, away from the fantasyland of the Nolan years.

But on Monday, Singletary seemed ensnared by the 49ers’ mantra of “we’re on the right track.”
