    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.

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

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

    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

    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.
