OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 2022 Handball season has arrived!

[wheelz87]

He's been the best wr on the team all year by a mile but still doesn't get targeted more than the idiot who has been dropping balls and running sideways all season?

Scoreboard. DJ is getting some balls today, could be Pickens next week. Support your team, not your stat line. (both are losers btw)

 

[Andy99]

I’m growing to dislike the Steelers D lol…they aren t very good today…very few big plays and are giving up like 4-5 yards a run…the secondary is horrific as well

 

[wheelz87]

I *think* Pickens said “throw me the damn ball” but it was hard to tell since the angle was from the side. He definitely said something about the ball. Maybe “hold on to the damn ball”

Pickett had to scramble immediately on that play. So hopefully not directed towards Kenny. If directed towards Diontae I mean A+ team chemistry move…

 

[SomeDude]

Just like I said during the summer, DJ is a guy you trade and don't pay.

Pickens acting like a diva hallway through his rookie season is a great sign for the future. I'm sure Tomlin will straighten him out.

They're going to hang on and squeak out a win in their march towards continued mediocrity.

Atlanta just dominating our D…they might pull out a win

 

[OnMyOwn]

How about those halftime adjustments?

I hate that I love this team…just piss me off for years on end.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Good thing Atl is as incompetent as the Steelers.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Anybody who is acting like they would not be visibly showing frustration if they were in Pickens' shoes is delusional.

Being upset and getting pissed on the sidelines happens. It is not a big deal.

When did guys like Claypool or Juju ever do that?

The people defending Pickens, who fell in the draft due to attitude issues, probably defended AB when AB was being a diva for the Steelers years ago.

Rookies rarely do that shit.

It’s concerning.

And it lines up with the attitude issues that caused him to fall in the draft.

To be fair Atlanta is primarily a running team.

 

[Shaftception]

I agree, they should trade Pickens because he complains, and Johnson too cause he sucks.

#1 receiver Gunner Olszewski.

This. Rookies who have had as many "good games" as they've had documented tantrums look like a baby.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The only concerning thing I've seen from the Steelers today is the lack of the offense to be able to turn long drives into TDs.

If the Steelers would be at like 3 TD and 2 FGs instead of 1 TD and 4 FGs, I really doubt anyone would be saying how bad the defense has been or how Johnson has been a problem.

He fell in the draft because he tore his knee lol.

A wide receivers coach asserts that Pickens has “just so many red flags, and they’re big red flags.”

Why is Gunner running the ball on these jet sweeps? He sucks…he runs outside the hash marks into a pile of guys for 2 yards lol

Who else will run it? GP doer want to run it and DJ isn’t a fan

So hopefully they rip Smith for his time outs like they did the colts coach

 

[Empoleon8771]

Packers now up 20-19 on the Bears. That 2nd rounder is getting a bit higher.

How about no one? Give it to the RBs that averaging 5 yards per carry

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Somebody explain to me like I'm 5 how Pickens being pissed at DJ for hurting the team by fumbling (before the review) makes him a selfish diva.

He was pouting about not getting passes the drive before and you could tell he said "throw me the f***ing ball" after the DJ drop.

You're making up a scenario that Pickens was mad at DJ to try and absolve him of any criticism for throwing a hissy fit about not getting the ball.

 

[wheelz87]

I think I’d punt it

Wow did Mike hire a late game management specialist
