Yeah and Fluornoy cannot replace Pickens, that’s crazy talk.

A few weeks ago people were ready to say Pickens is the true number one and we didn't need Lamb. People are fickle. Flournoy is a good player. But having Pickens helps make this offense specially even if we have gone away from the deep ball to him lately.

Yeah, I don't get that. We should be taking 2-3 deep shots to him a game. He is great at going up to get it. Great at drawing a PI. And it backs the defense up a bit, always thinking of that threat of the deep shot, that it could come at any time.

I think they may be worried that they struggle to block a longer developing play. Unfortunately the tackles haven't been great lately.

Yep, and I like Flournoy at this point. But I think he's ideally a WR3.

Agreed. Right now he is a very nice complimentary WR to the big boys. That could MAYBE develop into something more. To already be penciling him in as a 2 or higher is crazy.

Even if he never climbs higher than he is right now, it's still a win. This guy was a WGAS after thought late 6th rounder when first brought in to the team. And has turned into a guy we can use as a weapon. A guy that Dak is already showing trust in.

I mean, Quinnen Williams could tear his ACL. Maybe Parsons doesn’t do that here. You can’t justify a deal because a star player got hurt, if that’s the case quantity is always greater than quality.

Maybe, and no, but these things are usually ticking time bombs in my opinion and once it happens it means it was probably inevitable one way or the other, especially when it's non-contact and not a result of being rolled up on.

Can’t believe the Steelers are gonna host a playoff game. After they lost to Joe Flacco, stopped paying attention to them

This Dominos commercial purposely has the most unattractively generic actors in it.

And I keep thinking of Full Metal Jacket when I see it. Mostly because it's what I want them to do every time they say that stupid thing.

I was thinking that, too. Looks like the Detroit game wasn't a total one-off.

But David Moore, who knows Jerry pretty well, was saying before the game yesterday that he is extremely confident that Jerry will bring Pickens back even if it is expensive. He wants to sell it as part of the Micah trade, which he was still getting criticized for.

I can definitely see that happening. Winning that trade absolutely means something to Jerry.
