I apologize if this has been posted before. I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything and I just started frequenting this sub, so I wasn't sure if this has been asked or discussed.
At the end of episode 1 of S2, when Juliet is in Silo 17, as she hears music coming from inside IT or wherever, as she approaches the keypad controlled locked door, she first passes through an open doorway in which the door appears to have "ORLA" written on it (as shown in picture 1).
I never noticed this before, but I couldn't help but wonder if it's worth an observation now since Orla Kent was murdered.
Maybe this is absolutely nothing because on the other side of the door crack past the hinge, the letters "TER" also appear (as shown in picture 2), so that it could be read as "ORLATER" or possibly "OR LATER" (see picture 2). In either of those cases, I'd assume the writing possibly doesn't mean anything. Or ignoring the TER, there simply could be another Orla from silo 17 who inscribed her name onto the wall during the rebellion that took place.
But I've also seen some of the suggestions on this sub to try and explain what's going on, like possible concurrent timelines or even as also suggested in the show, Lucas Kyle was digging to another silo but as theorized by others on this sub, he wasn't alone (and we know Orla Kent was found in the mines--but did not die in the mines).
So, is it possible this writing of "ORLA" in Silo 17 has any significance?
on Caedan Wallace:
"after having conversations with Van Pelt and Scotty Peters and that group and (Robert) Kugler, they were very confident that this guy could play on both sides"
"It's one thing to run around in your shorts and show your athleticism. It's another thing when you watch the game film that this guy loves ball"
"We think he could be a four-position guy, but definitely feel like he can play on the left side"
"his teammate, Olu Fashanu, that the Jets drafted was the reason that he played on the right. So athletically, there's no reason why he couldn't make the switch over there"
"He comes from a great family. I think one of his brothers is like an oyster scientist"
on Ja'Lynn Polk:
"before we even get to the main responsibility of a receiver as far as get open, catch the ball and run with it, he's one of those guys that isn't afraid to do the dirty work."
"Now, let's get to the meat and potatoes of Polk. He's one of those guys, smooth route runner, has good hands, can do a lot of different things"
"he's a guy that we had our eye on for a while."
"when you turn the tape on, you see him running by people"
"He's really competitive, both for the ball in the air and as a run-after-catch player."
on Javon Baker:
"you talk about run after catch, the run after catch, this guy is aggressive"
"I would say Bake is all about -- he's all ball. He's all ball, which I can appreciate"
"K.J. Osborn, even Kendrick Bourne, those guys provide some leadership in that room. At the same time, we wanted to draft good players, and you can't help but turn on a UCF game and see that this guy really loves ball"
Since the 2010 season when we traded away Randy Moss, I've been waiting and hoping every day of every offseason for news of us signing (or drafting) an elite, true X receiver. Instead I got Brandon Lloyd, Kenbrell Tompkins, Aaron Dobson, Josh Gordon, Mohamed Sanu, N'Keal Harry and more.
I was naive at the time and didn't realize that my favorite head coach probably had zero interest in making a big move unless it fell into our team's lap, like Moss did.
Today seeing Brown go up against Gonzalez--it feels like it's really hitting me that this is the season of football I've been waiting for over 15 years...
And from our homegrown stars, outside of maybe Hightower, the ones that ended up at the top of their free agency class were the same ones we never spent on. Like Trey Flowers... Or traded away before free agency like Chandler Jones.
Funny enough, I can't even think of anyone on any of our offenses that we drafted who was top of their FA class outside maybe a couple of our lineman like Thuney, but even guys that weren't drafted but made their name here, like Deion Lewis, we never outcompeted other teams for.
I definitely thought this Gonzalez contract situation was going to get dragged out. I easily imagined a situation where our team wanted to not give him a major deal this year and would be willing to wait it out until he can test the market like our front office had always done under Belichick.
I'm seeing some conflicting reports online over our 2023 strength of schedule. It seems like it was at least top 5, with many places maybe having it as the number 1 hardest strength of schedule.
I thought this whole strength of schedule thing was a little overrated, but now I'm not sure what to make of it--if it's true that we fired Bill Belichick after we had one of the hardest strength of schedules in the league.
If I buy into the whole strength of schedule thing and knowing that we fired Bill after one of the hardest SoSs and then to be singing Vrabel's praises after we had one of the easiest... Maybe feels a little ironic or something?
Everyone is saying we're going to take a step back and I get that's what the numbers say, but the eye test? I thought last season we looked like we're only going to get better.
We played outstanding most of the time and even then it seemed like we left some meat on the bone that just left me thinking how much even better this group will look after a full year of playing together or so.
I never thought once that we're playing so good it's inevitable we take a step back. I get our schedule is harder this season, but our offense is also so many miles further ahead than where they were just a season ago.
(sorry to people who already commented before, I made a typo in the title)
I get the intrigue over bringing back Diggs. But in reality, he can't do anything that Brown, Doubs or Boutte can do.
What we really need is a guy who can fly. Like Tyreek Hill. Better yet, Tyreek Hill before he hit his prime--which is exactly what I think Kyle Williams is or could be for us.
I wasn't sure the type of receiver or comp that was best for Kyle Williams when he was first drafted, but after seeing what he's capable of last year, I think he has the skills to be exactly that.
The only thing that would make our offense more explosive besides a potent run game, is to pair AJ Brown with another explosive element in the pass game. And if Kyle Williams can take the leap this year, it could be huge for our offense because that Tyreek Hill type of player is the one thing our offense really doesn't have.
i hate posting this b/c i'm not one to post ai slop (just my own slop, like the title) but shit, for what ai slop is worth they nailed it with this one
