George Pickens grade 2 hamstring injury

Wow! Not good! They can beat bad teams without him like the Browns but against the elite teams this is a big issue if he can’t play. Big George might be a head case and do stupid **** at times but there is no denying this man’s talent. Every game he misses he will be missed big time.
I hope this doesn’t last too long.
 
No... he will play in Baltimore... we arent catching KC for the top seed... the Baltimore game is the only one that matters now...

If it's healed. The last thing you want is him tweaking it,then it's even longer to recover.
 
He's expected to miss the Beagles game. This is a much tougher game to win without GP than the Clowns were. Hopefully, he can come back for the next game so we can hold onto the division. Beating the Ratbirds is a must to win the division and we will need GP.
 
Shoot. This greatly reduces our chances of beating Philly in my humble opinion.
The Eagles aren’t the Stains.
 
This is exactly why you simply must beat the bad teams you play since they are the games that come back to haunt you.
Games like the Colts with 40 year old Flacco, and a bad Cowboy’s team missing two defensive stars, and the Browns in Cleveland.You have to a least win two of those games which would have given us a four game lead with four left.
This has been the one big thing that always kicks our ***** every year. Those were all very winnable games.

My money is on him being done for the season. They won’t report it as season ending, just as week to week, but he won’t play again this year.
 
All I can say is we can’t control who we play or who our players will be.

Next man up and coaching will be tested.

Even if some say dooms day scenario, I still want them to play the games as although he will be missed, we still have a shot at wins.


Salute the nation
 
Just putting this out there... Dulac was tge guy who said grade two then also that it was expected to be a two week injury... the way Tomlin tries to manipulate injury news through the beat writers, that could mean he is done for the year or that he will be playing this Sunday... if it was a " Grade 2" they probably wouldnt have had him running on it sunday to try it out...
 
They were going to be hard pressed to win their next three games with Pickens - without him, their chances are slim.
Once again, a poster from way back with a bad take.

Never really fails.
 
George would have looked at least a litte somber if he knew this was longterm. He wasn't somber over there at all.

This is what I am thinking. Or hoping.
 
Playing on a sore hammy is bad. Playing on a torn hammy is stupid. Tomlin is not going to rush him back. He'll heal and be ready in a month.
 
Look Hoss. You and your childish internet buddies aren't going to run me off. Grow up, or are you one of those that's so old thats he's reverted to being a child? The latter. I bet. Ignore, goodbye, you're a waste of breath.

Oh Hoss, I used to watch that show down in the big valley. Audra was the bomb digity.😀
 
The problem for me is the stuff from Dulac (and Dulac is great, but he does get stuff wrong occasionally) is typical hearsay from a beat guy... Tomlins presser said he was held out as a precaution cause they thought the heavy workload could make it worse (right before a hard stretch in the schedule)

Dulac said grade 2, but also said 2 weeks.. tgey didnt IR him.. so the team is insinuating its a very short term issue.. its fans extrapolating the "grade 2" phrase who are making it out worse than the team is

Now teams do lie about injuries... and Tomlin loves those headgames... so I see why people ( even me) tend to take things with a grain of salt... but they lie in both directions... guys have horrid injuries and they make them out as short term or insignificant... and others have nothing serious and its made out as if the are going on IR... then are active next game with no ill effects
