When asked why the 49ers punted in the third quarter instead of a attempting a rather makeable field goal attempt from the Buccaneers' 33-yard line, Singletary could not remember why that decision was made. In fact, he couldn't even remember that any of this happened.
When reminded at what point in the game, Singletary began describing a different fourth quarter possession series in which the 49ers went for it on a fourth down. He was politely reminded that he was answering the wrong question.
"I'm trying to figure out exactly...," Singletary said, before just guessing. "I guess we felt we wanted to pin them back, and maybe having a new kicker, the thought process was how about we just go ahead and try to put it on the defense."
And we thought things were bad back when Jimmy Raye was only forgetting the names of the plays.
