I haven't seen any report on his ribs but being that he played last week and it's a week removed, I got to think the ribs are fine. So now when he throws ridiculously inaccurate passes, what will the excuse be?

I am totally convinced it is purely an issue with coaching mentality in the first 3 quarters. They worry so much about turnovers they turtle early and he tries way too hard to not throw picks that he is trying to aim the ball rather than just letting it rip. When the 4th quarter comes and they say go win it he just lets loose and plays like he should. That is somewhat on him and somewhat on the coaching for not being more loose and aggressive early.

ribs are not fine after a week or two

It's ******* turtle ball to the 10th power. They probably have his ******* so puckered up with worry over turnovers, I'm shocked he functions.

But this is basically the gameplan. Do very little take very very little risk, repeat the same GD plays over and over ,then pull it out in the end.
 
They did the same to mitch.
 
How do they get away without an injury designation for that? Lol. Bruised ribs usu take 4 to 6 weeks without getting hit again
Yeah it is odd they don't have him with an injury designation.
 
Kenny threw for 126 yards today. Are we sure he didn't sprain/bruise his brain not his ribs? A lot of those passes were just horrid decisions.

When a mike tomlin team has the lead, they play run heavy and throw the same safe sideline passes. Everyone should know this by now. Other teams try to press forward with their leads. We ask our team to play so safe that other teams pretty much know what is coming …

They leaned heavily on the run game as they should it was rolling. I would say that played a hand in the yardage total

When you are probable, you no longer have to give injury designations. Brady and Bellycheck screwed that up for the entire league when Brady was always listed in injury reports.

A lot? I mean, there were two awful decisions and one looked like it was predetermined with the play call. The Steelers entire offensive philosophy is predicated with the QB not turning the ball over and Pickett plays like he is afraid of making a mistake.

It probably is a big part of their game planning during the week. Kenny....don't throw a pick. He has not thrown one for close to 150 passes. Longest current streak apparently. It comes with a cost though. Our passing offense ....that is the cost. Tomlin's game plan. It is winning games but it is limiting Pickett's growth to an extent. In my opinion anyways.

Don’t get a ton of yards when:

A) throwing at or behind the LOS to backs in the flats
B) when your strategy is to just lock onto DJ and then pray he both gets open and catches the damn ball should he actually open up
C) think Heyward is your #2 threat and must target him repeatedly
D) suffer from poor field vision and have accuracy issues

My favorite bad decision today he rolls right on short yardage down- has Washington wide open right in front of him (ez as hell throw 2 yards past the sticks) and elects to try try to squeeze one in to DJ double covered. Just lucky the DB had no foot control to keep ‘em in.

But…at least he clutch and tough enough to play with beat up ribs, despite his warts he’s definitely the best option on the the squad

What also played heavily into the yardage total: Kenny isn't a very good QB...at all.

Some tend to think that.

I think he is simply a green QB learning on the job in a challenged scheme.

We shall see how it unfolds.
 
If you have ever phuqed up your ribs, they don’t heal in a couple weeks, especially playing PRO FOOTBALL

What was his excuse prior to rib injury then? What will his excuse be post rib injury? You know they will have some, because they will need them to explain away why his production is so garbage.

Pretty good stuff did you know Allen was not going to develop in Buffalo? Oh wait...
