    Wow what an ender - playing Nirvana at the end credits was awesome, especially with the final teaser. I really dig this guy's review of it:

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Oh one other scenario I read about - if the Safety and the WR have the same number (not a big deal) but if the teams have similar colors? Not saying this will happen to Tom - but like the Bucs playing against the Falcons (their base colors are red + black + white), I can see in the heat of the...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Plausible explanation I read - the numbers made it easy to know what position groups were on the field, so you can tell really easily if they were in nickel, base formation, etc. This is especially useful when coverages are disguised as well as where people line up pre-snap. In addition, it'll...

    At the very least he'd be saying non-49ers scouts are wrong. It is possible that Lynch/9ers scouts are also that high on Jones based on whatever they saw out of his play/character

    Head coach and QB success are so inter-linked, especially for a defensive coach. Thats why most organizations are hiring offensive coaches as HC over defensive coaches; the thought being they can scheme their way out of an average QB. But Tomlin? That dude doesn't mess with the offense, so he's...

    Stellaris

    Yeah, Stellaris has the same end-game problem Eu4 has - once you know you've won, its still the mid-game generally. So closing out a win gets kinda boring - validating a strategy might work is way more fun, but once you know (by mid-game), it can become a slog

    Surprised there isn’t much talk about this show. This last episode to set up the season 2 finale was fantastic and Im anxious to see how this season will wrapmup

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Kinda depends on how the distribution of randomness of getting snapped happens on a global scale right? I can imagine some industries being decimated if enough people went poof. On a micro scale, post snap for some people might have led to less opportunities because some industries up and...

    Edelman would be WR #5 on the Bucs roster if they get back AB. Just like Fitz to the Bucs earlier was a rumor; don't think its going to happen because the Bucs are deep at WR -Tyler Johnson or Scotty Miller would be #3 without AB right now Edit: though Gronk has a good point...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Someone else mentioned the episode Tapestry - which was super well done. In that one, you saw a glimpse of young Picard who had hair - in fact Picard and Q joked about it iirc. I'd rather they cast someone believable as a "young Picard" in attitude/spirit than someone who physically looks the...

    The Bucs will finally move on from Tom Brady once they get Aaron Rodgers. He's a FA in 2 years right?

    You know it was funny early in the season when Bruce would openly critique Tom during press conferences. The media jumped on that as storyline of Bruce and Tom hating each other - which was a bunch of bullshit. If anything, I bet you Tom loves to be coached hard and I also bet you it actually...

    You simply can’t build a team fully through the draft and retaining your own players - you have to be somewhat competitive in FA too. The problem with those teams isn’t that they spent too much - it’s that they drafted poorly

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    A good draft year for a team is basically getting 2 hits out of the first 3/4 rounds, then getting 1/2 hits out of rounds 5-7/UDFAs. Rookie contracts are all basically 4 year deals, so you've got that time window to chain together multiple good drafts to field a roster to win the SB. Consider...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Yeah thats the way I see it - Miami is like "Sure we'll swap 20 positions in the 7th fucking round to see if this dude is a basket case or just hated where he was" - and there was no financial penalty for cutting him. If I was a Miami fan, I'd actually be impressed by the GM - top of the 7th...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Cam did well when he had Greg Olsen as his top target in Carolina - maybe Bill is looking at playing a power-run type offense with those TEs, and then base all passing off those same 2 TE sets. Could work well if Cam actually has any arm left (kinda questionable?) - I think this type of offense...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    This is why I'm ok with the fallout of pushing out the cap hits - time it with Brady retiring and keep as much of a super-team as possible for him. Brady isn't the greatest Buccaneer yet - he's in top 5 with Brooks/Lynch/Sapp. However if he wins another 1 or 2 - yep he will likely (not a meme)...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    For the Bucs, there's likely 1 more big contract restructure/extension needing to be done, to just be able to pay Shaq and 1-2 of the other great roleplayers (Suh, AB, Gronk, etc). Evans said he'll restructure, so he can probably save the team another ~10ish million. From a roster standpoint...

    lol Titans get a 7th, Dolphins get this dude + next year's 7th. So this dude was worth *less* than a 7th round pick, 1 year later

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    RE: Rojo getting better at blocking and catching - sure yeah, he seems to have gotten better at both as the season progressed, but he's still not starter level competent at either. In fact, it feels relatively telegraphed to the defense that when Rojo is in == run play, because he's rarely in...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    In terms of who the Bucs are projected to draft? My guess would be D-line or RB. Rojo isn’t good enough to be a primary back because he can’t catch and is dogshit at pass protection. I think D-line makes sense because even if we do resign Shaq, JPP is getting up there in age and you’ll likely...

    I mean its tough to temper expectations when Adrian Peterson came back from a torn ACL and had one of his best seasons ever - and that was what? 5+ 9 years ago? Sports medicine and recovery these days is getting pretty crazy heh edit - looked it up that was 9 years ago

    Thankfully my team thankfully doesn't play against Brady, except in practice; where he teaches them how to play the fuckin game But yeah, for the last 18 years before Brady, I know that exact seniment @Kaines

    Eh, I think bad coaching is too harsh on Green Bay. Before the NFC championship, MLF was considered a pretty good coach and a reason why Rodgers is having such a great year. Yeah he made a dumbass call in the game but I can't believe that 1 call makes him a bad coach.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Yeah I'm really fascinated with how the offseason will play out for the Bucs - last year this time they weren't the hottest destination for any player, but now they must be. And so the question of retaining players and paying them becomes more nuanced and complicated because a ton of players may...

    Instead they should have sett expectations with the player such as "We value and love your input, but you're still our employee" would have helped to not give the player such a big head thinking that he'd be the decision maker for hiring moves. Sometimes setting the expectation that the player...

    Great point - its very presumptuous for someone like Watson who hasn't really had that much success yet to be dictating terms to an organization. But then again, that organization is dysfunctional and allowing him to dictate terms. The owner is really setting a shitty precedent by signaling...

    Man still giddy about the Bucs win a few days later. The one lasting memory I'm going to have of this game is what Brady said right after they gave him the trophy. Link with Timestamp. Basically he looked out to the crowd/ the entire team/organization and nonchalantly was like "I think we knew...

    I heard some stat this morning around the Bucs blitzing - it was something like 10% (5 plays) the entire game. Mahommes was running for his life on 4 man rushes on half the fuckin drop-backs all game. The Bucs by comparison had the lowest ever pressure on Brady ever in a Superbowl. They were...
