mcd 187 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 He's such a smart player. Really good play when he caught the pass on the sidelines & did a reverse to get out of bounds and then the sweet goal line play. So many times you see these players just do boneheaded things during these pressure situations. Nice to see someone who obviously understood the situation he was in on both plays during that final drive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoMercy 27 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I am a huge fan of #84 as I have had him lead my teams to victories the last two years except this year. I love everything about Brown! Why not this year you might ask? Well, the only reason I have the most number of fantasy teams I have ever had (10) is because I was hoping to land a number 1 pick and have Brown lead my team again! It never happened! Congrats to those who may have won championship with Brown this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew74 948 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I love this guy. He didn't win me one this year but at least gave me hope heading into last night's game. He's just fun to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tool 1,588 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (Rotoworld) According to Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Antonio Brown "frequently ran the wrong patterns" when he was frustrated this season. Analysis: Cook attributed the lapses to a "lack of focus" but also wondered whether Brown ran the wrong routes intentionally as a way of pouting for not getting enough touches. In the article Cook makes the case for trading Brown, citing his "look-at-me antics," including an incident against the Dolphins when he prevented the Steelers from running their two-minute offense by jogging back to the line of scrimmage. Brown was also frequently flagged for excessive celebration and was criticized by both Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger for live-streaming Tomlin's post-game speech after beating the Chiefs in the Divisional Round. Despite some of these head-scratching distractions, Brown was still extremely productive this year and has already begun extension talks with the Steelers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LionOfGosforth 183 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) WTH? 3/47 against that secondary, with a good game script as well, Steelers losing for much of it? Anyone see the game can comment? Was it just the current trend of give Bell 30+ touches and throw to everyone but AB?

oddsbodkins 568 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 This pissed me off. Didn't see the game but with the emergence of Juju, I wonder if the days of 10-150-1 are over? Sounds like he alligator-armed a big pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThaPenguin 215 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Definitely short armed a long pass when he heard the footsteps, would not have been a TD, just inside the 10. Maybe 40 yard gain or so if I am remembering correctly, too lazy to look it up. To be fair, 4/90 looks alot better than 3/47. The Steelers played a poor game all-around, and Ben has not been particularly sharp all season. I think yesterday they made a little more of an effort to get Bryant involved, and JuJu has earned the looks too. The team is winning and Ben is not forcing it to AB like he was earlier in the season, so Steeler fans will take it. Not much else out of the ordinary to report, just a bad game they were very fortunate to escape with a W, and hope for a better showing the next 2 games at home vs. the Titans and Packers.

Andrew74 948 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 He was constantly doubled, especially in the red zone. With Juju beating single coverage, there ya go. On JuJu’s TD they were both on screen...Juju winning while AB is tailed by two guys. He did alligator arm that deep ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ack88 422 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I'm less worried about JuJu's emergence than I am about Ben. While his play has declined, he's still really good. He's hinted at retirement and if he does retire, that hurts ABs value. Landry Jones does little to inspire confidence. I would advocate dealing him away in dynasty. His value will never be higher.

lod001 5,406 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) We've already seen the downturn in numbers without Big Ben who has totally lost any ability to hit a deep pass. Usually not enough air under it. Not enough arc on the ball. The less air you put under it, the smaller the window for success. Think Jeff Blake and the punt pass which Russell White uses now and then. Everyone of those passes was catchable. Big Bens are rarely catchable. Can't remember the last 30+ yard (in the air) completion. If they have no succession plan in the 2018 draft they will be one of the teams left out in the cold. There are only so many seats at the table. Brown's number will take big hit. If the WR is good and you throw it up for grabs, you got a good chance it is caught or interference or worst case incomplete. You throw an uncatchable pass, all you do is waste your down.

jrwall 44 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Ben ON THE ROAD is the biggest concern. Not worried as much about JuJu. What I can't understand is the crowing from guys in this thread about the game AB put up. I guess that's what happens when you're the best wideout in the league. Everyone expects 6/100/1 every week. If Julio or AJG had a couple subpar games (which they have numerous times this season), it's considered an "off week". But AB does it and it's the end of the world. Relax. And why isn't anyone talking about the catch he made at the end of the game to set up the game-winning FG? Edited November 13, 2017 by jrwall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LionOfGosforth 183 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 They finally decided to stop just handing it to Bell 30+ times and feature their other elite weapon and what do you know? They creamed their opponent instead of staggering over the line for the win. It's odd though, I know it's not nearly this simple but you feel like they could do this every other week with that level of opportunity, he's so good. The second TD he had was almost un-defendable, the third a perfect example of just throwing it up for your elite weapon to go get it. Makes last week seem even stranger than it did at the time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
