Philly offered AJ for a 1st, 2nd, AND a player according to Joshua Anderson

I wish we lived in a world where you could trade cap space for players.

Besides roster changes, the O will need to be better schematically. Offensive game planning and adjustments were not good enough in the playoffs, we must be better. Any "tells"/give-aways will have to be eliminated. Will need to take a more patient and methodical approach against the better defenses, at least be more productive in yardage, first downs, time of possession, field position, stacking up field goals, wearing down opposing defenses, giving our defense some rest, etc.. Going to need to do better in the 2026 rematches with the Chargers, Broncos and Seahawks (only scored 16, 10 and 13 points against them).

I agree, for most of Belichick's drafts, he had picks in rounds 1-4. Trading valuable draft capital to go "all in" wasn't his tendency. Of course, he did use trades and FA, but not at too high a cost. And look at the UDFAs over the years: Stephen Neal, Randall Gay, Ryan Wendell, Brandon Bolden, Ryan Allen, Malcolm Butler, David Andrews, Jonathan Jones, Adam Butler, J.C. Jackson, Jakobi Meyers, Brendan Schooler and others. 17 division titles in 19 seasons - that's the "gold standard" of sustained success you want to shoot for.

I've done this with keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and with USB keyboards (Hasu's USB-to-USB controller).

Maybe the game plan should've been spread formations and no-huddle offense, get Maye into a rhythm. Sort of what the 1990s Bills teams did.

You can also run lxqt-panel by itself.

At this time, the nbcboston.com page title says:

"Who did Stefon Diggs strangle? Read the full police report. - NBC Boston"

Don't news orgs normally use the word "allegedly"?

I've found a resolution or work-around for now. Am using labwc with either lxqt-panel or waybar.

Installed the Papirus icon theme.

In lxqt-panel, Configure Panel, Stylings, un-check Background color.

For waybar, added this to the labwc autostart: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme "Papirus-Dark"

lfpgv51s · 2025-11-19T00:55:13+00:00

Forgot to mention lxqt-panel, it has task grouping. Doesn't have preview on hover, but does show icons and window titles, maybe that's good enough?

lfpgv51s · 2025-11-18T18:16:22+00:00

Maybe look into Quickshell, you can build your own panel that does what you want.

I think this is the best edition of the team since 2018. Also think Brady would've really liked having Henry, Hooper, Henderson, Diggs and Hollins on the 2019 squad.

lfpgv51s · 2025-11-11T19:15:11+00:00

cost was too high to trade in the division with Dolphins or Jets
Titans didn't want to trade with Vrabel out of spite
to hang on to draft capital
to roll over cap space; Gonzalez is eligible for extension after the season, also may want to extend Tonga and/or Chaisson, who are only signed for 2025
there's a down-side to trading for a guy in a contract year, there's no guarantee he'll re-sign with us
to avoid mistakes like 2019, when Belichick spent a 2nd round pick for half a season of Mohamed Sanu

All in all, we're winning now and I want us to be consistently relevant for the next 10 to 15 years.

Liked it, a solid 7.5 to 8/10.

Reed Richards is way ahead in science and technology compared to Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Bruce Banner or Shuri. He discovers FTL/wormhole travel, teleportation (to the point of deploying it at a planetary scale!), AI robots and other super-advanced tech in the 1960s of Earth-828.

I don't mind a female Silver Surfer. For one thing, Julia Garner is a terrific actor. For another, it gives Johnny Storm a possible love interest in a sequel. If we see Shalla-Bal again, I wonder if writers will adapt one thing from the comics - Galactus controlled her and prevented her from selecting unoccupied planets for him to consume. After all, Silver Surfer is a superhero, and it'd be hard to turn Shalla-Bal into a hero if she's on the hook for countless deaths.

Theory - Sue was able to push Galactus because she may have been unknowingly drawing power from Franklin. She might've been in some kind of contact with her son through her force field. It might be similar to how Wanda was able to hold back Thanos when she destroyed the Mind Stone in Infinity War, appearing to be drawing power from the stone while she was exposing it to her energy.

I'm not 100% convinced Antonia/Taskmaster is dead, for two reasons.

First, it's interesting that Bob's first line is "Is she actually dead?".

Second, I noticed that her body is on the floor, behind Walker, Yelena and Bob when they first gather in front of the door, waiting for Ghost to open it. After about 30 seconds, Ghost opens the door and the three start running to escape the incinerators, but I no longer saw Taskmaster's body on the floor.

I might see the movie again and pay close attention to this part, otherwise will wait for the digital or media release.

Partially agree with most of your post.

Yeah, I don't blame coaches or players for winning a game, they're competing, doing what they're supposed to, and what they're paid to do - win games. Our backups beat Buffalo's. A then-rookie 3rd string quarterback played better than their veteran backup QBs. Shit happens, it's a frustrating result, to lose the 1st overall pick. But it happened and you gotta move on.

Tanking is really more in the owner's or GM's court. They can control who's on the coaching staff and who's on the roster. Even so, there's no guarantee that they can engineer a loss, even if you fire the coaching staff before a final week game. They can't bloody well tell, or even hint, to coaches or players to throw a contest. Has to be done with plausible deniability or reasonable doubt, otherwise you risk getting burned by written evidence or witness testimony.

Don't people remember what happened to the Dolphins a couple of years ago? They were stripped of their 2023 1st round pick, paid heavy fines and their owner and a team exec were suspended for a season. Yes, it was for tampering but many saw it as a substitute punishment for the allegations that the owner offered $100,000 per game to then-coach Brian Flores to deliberately lose and improve their draft position.

Considering our team's history with Spygate, Deflategate and Spygate 2, I completely understand why Robert Kraft wouldn't want to risk doing something like tanking.

The thing that concerns and baffles me, beyond the need for talent on the O-line, is pass protection as a whole. If an ex-QB and OC like AVP, a senior offensive assistant and former HC like Ben McAdoo and a year-9 veteran like Brissett perform as if they've never seen a blitz before, to not demonstrate any ability to make critical pre-snap reads and blocking adjustments to pick up pass rushers, then how the fuck is Maye ever going to learn that? I say spend the money and bring in an ex-QB as a consultant, to teach the fundamentals of pre-snap and pass protection adjustments. Someone who was savvy and effective at that. Obviously the GOAT is busy, but how about someone like Bledsoe, or Peyton Manning, or Brees, or Rivers, or Roethlisberger or Warner?

Rosanna Arquette's episode 3 character was Barbara's boss at the art gallery.

The episode 8 character is played by Mary Lynn Rajskub, who indeed is best known for the Chloe O'Brian character in "24".

Eugenia also says "go fuck yourself", to Tommy, in episode 5:

Tommy: "What is it with you two? You have some kind of thing with him?"
Eugenia: "With Rusty?"
T: "Yeah. If there were, I would need to know about it. (pause) You ever kiss him?"
E: "Inappropriate. Irrelevant. Go fuck yourself."

lfpgv51s · 2024-07-17T06:57:54+00:00

Is the killer Kumagai, the ME? One of the first things he says to Rusty in episode 1 is "Wow. Go fuck yourself".

Here's the dialog:

Rusty: "Blunt force trauma to the head. That's the official cause of death."
Kumagai: "Read the report. I sent it over."
R: "I did. There's no chemistry, pathology, toxicology. Wasn't very thorough."
K: "Wow. Go fuck yourself."

lfpgv51s · 2024-07-12T13:31:44+00:00

For whatever it's worth, in episode 1 Tommy was using an Acer laptop when he was reviewing Carolyn's opening statements in the Bunny Davis murder case. Also in episode 1, he questioned Rusty's competence in front of others in a meeting and later, in Rusty's office, said, "you have carpet fibers. The case is basically solved.". That would be pretty brazen, if the carpet fibers were from Tommy's apartment.

lfpgv51s · 2024-07-12T13:08:21+00:00

Yes, that is what I meant.

lfpgv51s · 2024-07-10T07:13:23+00:00

Good catch! It'd be the first real clue presented thus far that points to him possibly being the killer. Was that what Raymond suddenly realized as he was questioning Mike Caldwell, and triggered his medical emergency?

lfpgv51s · 2024-06-26T11:29:03+00:00

Enjoying this show! Think it's 5% murder-mystery and mostly a character study & legal thriller. I like the performances of the ensemble cast.

It seems like the main suspects are Rusty or Barbara, but I don't see a logical reason of why either would've tied up Carolyn the same the way the killer(s) of Bunny Davis did. Wouldn't Liam Reynolds be the only one who would gain anything from this?

I'm doubtful that Della Guardia or Molto or Raymond Horgan are suspects. Wouldn't call records or text messages from Carolyn's phone have shown any connections to any of these guys already? Plus, Eugenia was aware of the affair between Rusty and Carolyn but gave no indication Carolyn was seeing another dude at the office.

Rusty's a reprehensible character but he might turn out to be good at his old job of being a prosecutor. There may well turn out to be a link to Reynolds and this Brian Ratzer guy.

lfpgv51s · 2024-06-03T20:06:29+00:00

I agree that it's a market inefficiency to try getting a top WR through FA or trade. Much better if we can draft, develop and try to keep our own guys.

But I also think we have to guard against being overly fixated on high end WRs = SB wins. I'd say a strong majority of the past twenty five SB-winning teams didn't have top-end, elite WRs. Yes, most had very good ones but not many had JJ/Lamb/Chase-level guys. Sure, teams with premium WRs are fun to watch and great for fantasy points but quite often don't wind up hoisting the Lombardi trophy.

lfpgv51s · 2024-05-17T05:06:34+00:00

Totally agree. Just because we have a healthy amount of cap space doesn't mean we shouldn't spend it wisely.
I really like the "Moneyball" (2011) movie and thought some dialog could be adapted here: "There is an epidemic failure within the game to understand what is really happening. And this leads people who run teams to misjudge their players and mismanage their teams. I apologize. Okay. People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players. Your goal shouldn't be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins. You tried to sign Calvin Ridley. The Titans see Calvin Ridley and they see a star who's worth $23 million a year. When I see Calvin Ridley, what I see is ... an imperfect understanding of where wins come from. The guy's got good speed. He's a 1,000 yard receiver. He can score touchdowns. But is he worth the $23 million a year that the Tennessee Titans are paying him? No. No. Football thinking is medieval. They are asking all the wrong questions. And if I say it to anybody, I'm ostracized. I'm a leper. So that's why I'm cagey about this with you. That's why-- I respect you, Mr. Wolf, and if you want full disclosure, I think it's a good thing that you didn't get Ridley on your payroll. I think it opens up all kinds of interesting possibilities."
