Playoff Questions

The Packers only have 2 QB's on their roster. If Willis had to leave the game last week then RB Josh Jacobs would have been their emergency QB. They do have Clayton Tune on their practice squad so it would probably be a good idea to activate him with the 2 QB'S ahead of him banged up.

 

Packers are still fighting and alive for the division, if the Packers win and the Bears lose this weekend.

 

I don’t want to see him break Rudolph

 

Steelers look promising. I'm getting excited and then our #1 WR gets suspended and now GB's chances get less and less.

Although I do think Rodgers can get it done even if he has to throw to himself

 

Jacobs is questionable too at this time
who to sign TANNENBAUM???

The 3 veteran receivers Thielin, MVS and Scottie Miller know how to run routes, get open and catch the ball. We'll be alright against the Browns but we need Metcalf when the playoffs start.

 

Exactly this. No fuss with DK out. Timing quick release will beat their front on defense

 

It was 2 days ago....Today he was limited

 

Never mind then..lol

 

Crap. We'll have to go all out to beat Cleveland.

 

Just think, if Green Bay doesn't make the playoffs. They traded a Pro bowl DT, two 1st round draft picks, and paid the most money ever for a player outside of a Qb to Parsons just to not make the playoffs. LoL. So much for that great trade. This is why You have to let things play out before crowning things.

 

I like DK, but I put Pickens over him. DK catches with his hands and has issues keeping the ball clean to his chest. DK is a fumble machine. with him having the size to truck people, is why it is not an insane high. it also is not hard to shut down DK when he is the only WR, there was games where Seattle was without their #2 and DK could not get opened, just like here.

Also DK is targeted the most. but compared to the 6 others who have 20+ targets, he is 5th at making the catch.

next year we are possibly going to have to draft a WR in the first. or trade back into the second to have extra picks, and draft a WR in round 2.

 

We need to come out of the draft with at least 2 NFL grade WRs.

 

It's probably fair that Pickens is a better overall player than DK. Its not by a ton, but Pickens is a better contested catch guy and really has an extra gear when needed. DK is still a really nice player and I am not upset at all at the player or the money to get him. Being the only WR on a Steelers team the last two years hasn't been kind to our #1 WR. Pickens had 0.3 more catches per game and 7.5 more yards per game than DK has this year, but DK had 3 more TD's. I think either of them would've been better if we had a capable guy opposite them (as evidenced by Pickens' best Steelers year coming in Diontae's last season with us).

We almost have to draft a WR in the first. It might be a necessity. Maybe we try trading up in the second... but IDK. I'd prefer to hit the draft than spend money again in FA. Just my opinion. Maybe we grab Marquise Brown or a Romeo Doubs as an insurance policy WR3. DK/Tate/Brown/Wilson/Miller/Skowronek.... something like that could be awesome. I still think we need a DL, G, Secondary (S or CB), or something like that in the first 3 rounds too.

 

I'm sure when they put this together they were thinking blockbuster TV!

Don't cancel your Christmas party plans.....

 

Asking a lot. Who will throw to them?

 

NFL not going to like this. Only interest I would have had would have been Broncos/Chiefs but not now.

 

Precisely. I really dont understand why fans get so freaked out about DK being out. His production is not exactly #1 level. Not to mention as you point out all of those veterans like Scottie Miller, MVS and Thielin can most definately equal the production of DK. They are all pros and know how to run routes. Look at SM last game. My god he sits on the bench mostly and then he comes out and makes at least 2 really good chain moving catches. I am not worried at all. This team right now at least seems to know how to play next man up. ( TJ and Herbig being out last game as an example)

 

I would throw Gainwell in the mix as well... we seen what he can do split wide.

 

One of the main reasons the Steelers beat the Ravens was because DK was making plays down field, DK also draws double coverage Thielen, Miller, and MVS aren't doing that.

 

DK has alot of drops as well. I never said he was not valuable I just dont think he will be as much as people think. Fans thought we would lose to the Lions without TJ and Herbig. Next man up. Savvy Vets will make a difference. We are talking about Cleveland and Ravens. We will win both games. The other reason we beat the Ravens was they suck lol

 

Pickens would have excelled with someone like Rodgers vs wilson/fields..... I mean think about it, we fooled the Jets to overpaying fields. . And got giants to take wilson. . Both wilson and fields are jokes.

It's crazy that
yards
- Pickens is 3rd
- dk outside of 20
TD
- Pickens top ten
- dk outside of top 20
Penalties caused by DPI
- Pickens top
- no idea where DK is.

And Pickens is doing this as a #2 WR.


Tomlin/kahn have dealt the worse trade for the 2025 season. Cowboys got a steal. And so much so, I wouldn't be shocked if we see pickens traded, so a team can give him a contract. It's rare, but it can happen.

 

Would it surprise you to learn Metcalf's drop rate is third on the team?

 

IS THIS A PLAYOFF QUESTION?

THINK YOU'RE IN THE WRONG THREAD PAL

PICKENS OVER DK THREAD IS A FEW PAGES DOWN

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
