Pickens Questionable

[anpsteel]

with a hammy

IF Pickens doesn't play, that severely impacts the offense.


but this is exactly why they brought in Mike Williams, so lets see how that goes.

Fingers crossed

[Orangesteel]

He playing.

This a ploy.

[SteelerDayTrader]

He playing.

This a ploy.

It worked on anpsteel

So right about now I expect the Browns are prepping to stop the Van Jefferson colossus

[alancac98]

If he is a no go, which I'm pretty sure he plays, it would be a great time to include Mike Williams in the offence.

Including several targets.

[Pabst]

Tomlin just confirmed he's playing to Tracy Wolfson

[K_C_]

Might be time to get Roman Wilson on board this moving train.

[StillerDownSouth]

Pickens is INACTIVE per insiders.

Apparently this was BS.

Pickens inactive

[Still Diesel]

We can win today without him. Hopefully he is back for Philly.

[swissvale72]

These wides and hammies. We win today and I wouldn't be surprised if he sits next week too, saved for ravens

[Sir Lambert]

Maybe the injury is fabricated. Pickens acted up last week, and he's not playing this week.

[Texas Black & Gold]

Maybe the injury is fabricated. Pickens acted up last week, and he's not playing this week.

I kinda agree that this might be a benching in disguise. Maybe he will grow up some while out.

[swissvale72]

I really doubt that

[Texas Steel]

He playing.

This a ploy.

He's inactive for the game.

Not a ploy.

[Orangesteel]

Bench your best offensive player for celebrating a first down?

No.

[Steelperch]

They should sit him out vs Philly too. The Baltimore, KC and Cincy games are what matters.

[swissvale72]

Agreed...said that. Especially with a hammie. Make sure he's ready for ravens

[anpsteel]

So much for the fake news


He’s out today

Gonna make it interesting

[swissvale72]

Russ will spread it around....middle of field but also moon balls to Williams....and CAIII....did it against giants

Expect heat from Steelers on winston

[jeemie]

So do we think this was a soft suspension because he was still grousing?

[Texas Steel]

So do we think this was a soft suspension because he was still grousing?

I don't... compared to prior headcase receivers, he's not too far off the reservation. Not to have him inactive for the game... that's cutting off your nose to spite your face, since he's been so productive this season.

[anpsteel]

So do we think this was a soft suspension because he was still grousing?

I was wondering the same thing


He seemed in fairly good spirits, on the sideline, so I’m going to guess it was a legit injury concern

[anpsteel]

Dulac indicating the team expects Pickens to be out next week, as well

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Out v. Eagles

Also: Brady as the color commentator

So we get fucked twice...

Sucks, but I wouldn't be shocked if George is kept out until week 18 just to make sure he's available for the playoffs. Hammy issues are tricky. Time for Mike Williams to get integrated into the offense. Maybe even Roman Wilson, though I doubt it happens.

Jesus Christ...Dan Smith = Grim Reaper today!

I just posted in the other thread....I think I'd rather beat Philli than KC this year....now with Brady as color man, I would go off into the sunset this year if we put a smackdown on Phili!

Am I the only fool that wants to pull out all the stops to beat fucking Philli?

I can still recount the joy of beating the undefeated Eagles and then the undefeated Patriots back to back...what a stretch!

Beat Ravens then beat Eagles, then KC , then Buffalo. That is my order of enjoyment this year!

When Brady was playing, the Pats took the number 1 spot if we had the Ravens or Division in hand.

When Kelly played, I think Buffalo was the number one spot for enjoyment.

Probably a few years of Marino and Kelly switching spots. And a few years of loathing Elway!

[swissvale72]

Seems like the reports on Pickens' hammy is limited to dulac doing the math with "grade 2 strain." My medical guess is that he sits this week, back for baltimore
