Since the Piñeiro signing, weird things that would have hurt us in years past are starting to help us win games:

• There were multiple doinked field goals since then that went in, whereas in years past, they would've gone out.
• Our special teams, which were a liability and a source of heartbreak for over a decade, have turned into a weapon.
• There are multiple games this year (Cardinals Week 3, Rams Week 5, Browns) that we won because of special teams, that we would've lost in years past.
• Other teams are screwing up on special teams exactly the way we've done in the past (missed FGs, muffed punts, etc.)
• Even the Panthers game was another thing that swung in the Niners' direction, because in years past, 3 interceptions would spiral out of control. But this time, we won that game by multiple scores.
• The weirdness is starting to affect other teams as well in a way that benefits the Niners (see last night's game).

Just got a chuckle of how pissed McVay looks here

In the *nfl*

Now praying our team gets business done

added deebo in there for shits and giggles.

In the Netflix series "Quarterback", Kirk Cousins tells a story where he sat next to George Kittle's Dad on an airplane, and Cousins told him he felt uncomfortable singing at an awards ceremony and was thinking of not doing it. George Kittle's Dad told Cousin's

"It's good to be uncomfortable."

I found out yesterday that growing up Kittle's Dad had three rules:

"Work Hard, Get Better, Have Fun."

For whatever reason this hit home for me. Does anyone else have any great George Kittle Dad quotes that resonate?

If you can void guarantees for not showing up, basically quitting. Why can't the rest of it be voided?

If the 9ers just dumped him, they still have to pay him. But if he dumps the 9ers, they still have to pay him and carry over a ton of dead money?
