OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Oh no! They are 3 and 1. Panic!

2.) She had George Pickens as a name to keep an eye on for WRs that could be moved. Which I hope is just dumb speculation on her part and not anything she’s actually hearing

Trading Pickens wouldn't even make sense if it were for an elite WR. We'd be right back where we are only paying big money for it. It's got to just be dumb media speculation.

Ashton Jeanty is him. 5'9, built like a fridge. Super vision and can sift. Strong on his feet and a north-south runner. I don't think he runs against any real prolific defenses, but he's averaging 10.9 ypc and 16 TDs. Cool prospect.

The two interesting things from her article I thought:

1.) Adams is concerned that Rodgers may not stick around in NY beyond this year and wouldn’t want to be there without him.

2.) She had George Pickens as a name to keep an eye on for WRs that could be moved. Which I hope is just dumb speculation on her part and not anything she’s actually hearing

Only way Pickens gets traded is if Fields gets f***ed here. Pickens and Fields are really close friends. I think Pickens will continue to kind of under perform as long as he has Fields. If they put Russ in I could see Pickens wanting out because he's coming up on a contract year and he wants to get paid. He would have to initiate a request. If he is actually on the trade block...there are way more issues than the fanbase even knows about.

I think Pickens with the right QB is a top 3 WR. And engaged Pickens is a true bully WR.

Lol Browns

Lol Browns

Commanders aren't even playing that well and they're gonna beat them by 30 lol. Legit think Jameis Winston is gonna start in the next few weeks if they continue to lose

The good news for the Browns at least is that if they cut Watson this offseason, they’ll only have a $177,000,000 dead cap hit.

I seriously don’t know what they do. They can’t play him but they also can’t get rid of him.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Yeah, the Ravens and Bengals are still a step above the Steelers.

Not entirely sure but I think they can spread that dead cap hit over 2 years? At least they have their 1st round pick this year. I think if they finish with a top 5 pick, they draft a replacement and move on.

I'm guessing the Browns front office are praying Watson's legal issues bring him down and the NFL somehow rescues them but I am not sure how that would play out cap wise.

or actively creating new victims. That trade makes the Archer trade look reasonable. Then there's the Panther trade......

He is the closest I have ever seen to Barry Sanders. His vision is just ridiculous.

I’ve said for years that RBs are not worth a first round pick unless they have Sanders like ability. And Jeanty appears to be that.

I know he played very well against Washington State but I need to see him against a decent Power 5 team. Looking at the Boise schedule and that won’t happen unless they make the playoffs.

But man could that be a fun watch.

 

[WickedWrister]

This game management in HOU-BUF is all time bad

 

[TNT87]

This game management in HOU-BUF is all time bad

It definitely was. That third down call by Houston was dumb and then Buffalo passing three straight times inside their own five with no timeouts. Just brutal decision making.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Yeah, the Ravens and Bengals are still a step above the Steelers.

Neither teams play defense though

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I don't get what the f*** Khan is waiting on to be honest, you want to pretend like this is a team that can contend, then go make the moves necessary, to roll into the season with so little depth for receivers and now its even worse with injuries, you're doing Fields and even if it was Wilson, absolutely zero favours. So either you be honest and not keep Tomlin before that extension, or they make the moves to prove they want to be taken seriously because that whole Aiyuk bullshit left a bad taste for me, all that hype for absolutely jack shit for a player that was just playing everyone for his contract negotiations.

Make a f***ing move.

 

[End of Line]

Yeah, the Ravens and Bengals are still a step above the Steelers.

Bengals defense is ass. They can’t stop a toddler on a trike. Ravens D ain’t much better either.

Sometimes it takes two to tango. Or somethin like that

Even if they traded for Aiyuk who I wanted or another wr they aren’t going to see a major increase in passing attempts they are averaging 27 right now at most they jump to 35. Tomlin said the league is flooded with wr.
For Fields they need an outside deep threat like Kirk or Dobbs. DHop would not work cause he works inside

He's perfect for our offense. And you said Barry Sanders, and I'm careful about naming guys like that, but holy shit is this dude a beast.

 

[MrBrightside]

Yeah, the Ravens and Bengals are still a step above the Steelers.

Yeah the team that won zero games against Not Carolina and has the worst defense in the NFL is light years ahead of the Steelers.

The end of that 1:00 window is why RedZone exists. That was great stuff.

Trying to figure out which coach shit the bed worse - McDermott and Taylor both did stuff that would embarrass a high school coach.

Roman Wilson inactive again…how bad must he be that he can’t get a helmet when they’re desperate at his position…blame for GM and coaches…can’t get him ready?

If he can’t win outside he doesn’t help them

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

That's now 5/5 weeks where the most heavily favorited NFL teams lost. Unheard of before sports betting. Las Vegas runs the NFL now people. Deal with it.
