George Pickens played limited snaps due to discipline?

    Tomlin didn't admit it, but something must've happened during the week. But they needed him to play and couldn't totally sit him down. He needs to grow up he had some profanity on his eye black, offer him up at the trade deadline.

    Not at all surprised. Been thinking for some time now it's only a matter of time until things blow with him.

    He was doing **** all when he was on the field so I'm not surprised he got pulled for a series or two.

    I had a feeling something was going on between the the two. Agreed Pickens dudnt play well given his limeted snsps.. but just like Fields Pickens isn't the main problem on this team
    ...

    Tomlin is.. No way Tomlin should have gotten an extension this year..

    Pickens is a head case. He’s hurting the team more than helping.

    There probably was some discipline reasons there for cutting his snaps.

    Or he could have been getting frustrated. Not having a second receiver to worry about makes it very easy to defend Pickens.

    Hope they come up with something by the trade deadline.

    He may not be as bad as AB was, but he's sure leaning that way, and has been for some time.

    Still waiting for Roman Wilson to at least get into a Steelers game. I reckon he'll be ready for the playoffs, if they even make it that far

    The only way Roman Wilson gets to the playoffs is if he's traded somewhere.

    Diontae Johnson was traded for less. Pickens is next.

    he can't grow up, he is a 9 yr old in a 24 yr old body.

    but you've been told that before :cool:

    trade him.

    this offense blows.

    or in 2028.....here.

    Tomlin remains the albatross here, we won't sniff a playoff win until his contract runs out and we learn that it is 2024 - you play offense to SCORE POINTS

    Have Pickens on my Fantasy team and needed 7 points to win...got 3 and lost. But as I was watching I kept saying "Where the hell is Pickens he isn't even out on the field?" I thought he was hurt. Just very strange that your #1 playmaking WR is sitting on the bench for about 1/2 the games snaps.

    I noticed that early I the game also. he didn't have a great game but he did have the longest reception of the game, and if he didn't catch that pass we wouldn't have scored the Td to take the lead

    Apparently Tomlin limited his snaps in order to increase productivity. You can't make this sh!t up! :lolol:

    When you get gimme throws to you and miss them a 2nd receiver has nothing to do with it really.

    Pickens is NOT a #1. And that stupid tape message across his nose really doesn't resonate when you miss the easy throws. He will be fined heavy for that message which shows his lack of maturity.

    But no worries the 180 Mill defense will step up :eek:

    The answer Tomlin gave on why GP only played 34 snaps was an insult to all fans intelligence. Like we are suppose to buy the bull**** coming out of his stinky pie hole.
