    Never celebrated with him. Jogged the other way off of the field. Unfollowed him on social media today. Team player! Should have never drafted him if based on all the past problems and knowing he was a risk. Tomlin has proven that he can't control anybody and they clearly don't respect him enough to be team players.

    Do you really think this is the same as when we had all those players I listed? We had a divided locker room back then with many bad actors. Come on dude.

    Also, do you really think this is unique to the Steelers?

    Pickens was blocking at a Hines Ward level last night….numerous times. The catches will come and he’ll get happy.

    Yes he did. And apparently he re-followed him but I haven’t verified that.

    The irony is I remember Pickens throwing at least 1 really nice block last night. He does get into that part of the game as well, but he gets overly frustrated when he doesn’t get his looks. And I think he’s also embarrassed about the blown TD, but can’t bring himself to say “my bad” and instead needs to focus on the looks he’s not getting. The same applies to an ugly “alligator arm” miss that he had a game or two ago.

    Ah thanks for that. Feel better, fine if you are upset and all that social media crap, but want to see you be there for your teammate. Not being there rubs me the wrong way big time.

    It's not unique, but it doesn't happen just about EVERY SINGLE YEAR with other teams. What a wasted decade with the Tomlin regime. Really unbelievable that he still has supporter. Shows you how far we've fallen.

    Is that Pickens in the pic or Robinson? I think it’s Robinson

    That would be awesome if he got on his meds and refollowed everybody.

    It is the entire NFL. I guess you are going to continue to ignore the fact that the taunting penalties this year were the first against the team since 2018.

    Pickens was nowhere to be found. Warren and Robinson were there and I think the olinemen weren't there because they were in a squirmish with the d lineman.

    Tomlin helped keep Brown from being a problem long enough for him to become the best receiver in the NFL for about five years, but hey, why consider facts when discussing these things?

    Thats actually #87 Rod Williams with the chest bump in the picture. I slowed it down several times and that's 100% him.

    Well that sucks if not him, but sure hope he at least congratulated him at some point.

    One of the unsung miracles of coaching. Handling challenging players is something Tomlin does better than most coaches. It would be great if he can get Pickens straight, but it’s not likely to happen if we continue our 160 yard/game passing attack.

    I'll have to look again, but they threw Him the ball like 5 times off the top of My head. One was fumbled out of bounds, one went through his hands on what should have been a PI, two were poorly thrown, and one He didn't drag both feet. That's all I remember off the top of My head.

    Oh well. Just a game and we knew we'd get here with Pickens, just hoped it was down the road.

    On to other things. GS.
