"I could care less if it was an ugly game, but it was beautiful for us," Singletary said. "I don't care about all that stuff, the stats and all that."

Defending NFC champ Cardinals fall in opener
Shaun Hill and the rest of San Francisco’s offense had an awful second half, except for one magnificent possession.

Singletary: We got our tails kicked up front
Here are some of the highlights:
--The last question of the press conference was about Michael Crabtree. Singletary was asked if the team sent Crabtree a letter, as reported by Fox's Jay Glazer, stating that the team's contract offer would be "modified" if he did not sign by Sunday.
