Where Steelers can turn if George Pickens misses Week 15 vs. Eagles | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@wraith1117]

If G Pickens isn't 100% for the Eagles game, just let him rest. The Steelers need him most the week after when they play the Ravens. If the Steelers beat the Ravens, they take the division no matter what else happens.

[@TheCHOSENOneJones]

I agree he needs to be sat but totally don't agree that we NEED him. We didn't need Mike Will before the trade and still winning without him EXCEPT Washington.

[@wraith1117]

@@TheCHOSENOneJones I for one would rather have Pickens healthy for the Ravens game. Again, all we need to take the division is winning that one game.

[@anthonysantana4278]

Wait.. we didn't blow out the Ravens when they played at Pittsburgh. We can easily lose to Eagles and Ravens.

[@michaelrobinson8065]

Need him next week Xmas vs KC

[@mr808steelers]

Steelers gains playoff spot with Broncos and Texans win this week

[@longjohn526]

Freiermuth up the middle was working very well last week. He was giving me Heath Miller flashbacks ...... He's not flashy, he's not going to give you the big yardage but he is going to get you the yardage you need when you need it. 3 for 3 for 45 yds, a critical first down and a TD and all 3 passes were up the middle. If it's 3rd and 5 and I need a first down I'm looking for Freiermuth

[@augustbrante8117]

But Wilson has never lost to the Eagles too. Will be interesting to see which streak continues!

[@BrianKardell]

Hear me out: Since we don't _need_ this game - what if Tomlin head fakes and puts Justin in early and for most of this game after they spent most of their time preparing for Wilson. He ran for almost 100 yards against them 2 years ago.

[@dgreen19731]

Fields plays its a definite L

[@dgreen19731]

They ain't doing that anyways. Fields can run fine, don't want him passing

Idk, it's like you people don't know Tomlin. They're NOT playing anyone important with a hint of an injury vs an ncf opponent. ESPECIALLY, when bal and kc are back to back on short weeks.

[@josephdonovan9125]

TBH.. the Steelers shouldn't play most of there starters against Philly not worth risking an injury in a non conference game

When has he ever been the #1? Do you just mean like the occasional game Kupp was out and Williams would get a lucky hail marry lol

[@steelymcafeeliac1050]

@ Mike Williams played for the Chargers, he was #2, when Keenan (made of glass) Allen was #1. Allen got hurt ALL the time. Williams has never played with Kupp or the Rams…. Williams and Herbert lit it up.

Everyone forgets… Matt Canada became OC in 2021. CLAYPOOL had a monster rookie season in 2020 with Randy Fichtner. Matt Canada ruined any chance CLAYPOOL had at being a good receiver.

[@jaqenhghar6996]

Indy also hadn’t beat the Steelers in like ten years and we’re 2-0 against them two years in a row under Shane Steichen. Records are made to be broken and things change. Remember how bad the Lions have been historically and now look at em! THINGS CHANGE!!

[@RobertDavis-vg6uy]

Steelers have lost in Indianapolis. Going back to the first year Colts were there in 1984. Lost in fluke play off a tipped pass. The record is Colts going to Pittsburgh. They Colts have only won in Pittsburgh one time in their History

Where is Roman Wilson?

[@Standgedicht]

It`s a mystery. Still injured they say but...

[@sempertito3515]

Nothing mysterious about it. Tomlin is consistent about easing players into the lineup and he always talks about the difficulty of players getting on a moving train. You people need to give it a rest already.

[@Divinegame580]

@ listen my guy he said that months ago so he obviously not as good as they thought

[@Komainu959]

He is a rookie who has what...maybe 3 full weeks of practice since padded practice began in preseason? Yeah I highly doubt he is playing this year unless they get super desperate. But I think once he is fully healthy and gets his work in he will be productive for us. Just next year at this point.

[@real-ishstraighttruthnocha1687]

He got put on the IR. He won't play till next year or late in playoffs.

Or win this game and your in the playoffs. Win next week and you win the division and then win the following week and possibly take the #1 or #2 seed 😂

[@mykofreder1682]

The next 2 games are more important, I would dress him but have little chance of playing unless he is needed late, they won by 2 TDs they didn't need him. Playing or not is not always black and white, assume they are going to try to win and if the guy dresses it should mean there is more than 0% chance he will play at least 1 series. They need a score with 10 minutes left he probably will play, he comes in late and runs some of his most productive routes they could catch them flat footed.

[@theolisaacs8443]

Yes I like the Steelers defense to get at least seven turnovers in the blowout 37 to 17 against the eagles first win in Philly in the morning 3/4 of a century the Vietnam war is 2 years old that's the same year that James Brown I feel good with big hit

For real... during camp, wasn't Billy one of the many "experts" who relegated the Steelers to basement life in the North? And NOW, Mike T. is the Alexander Graham Bell of simplifying basic football communications? What? Frankly, I'm surprised Billy pulled his head out of Patrick's butt for long enough to notice any other team besides the Chiefs... making it a small wonder the team prefers any other color besides red.
