Antonio Brown has been under heavy scrutiny from anyone and everyone after his tirade during the first half in Baltimore.

Mike Tomlin, Ben Roethlisberger, the media, fans, enemies..the only person who hasn’t criticized Brown is Donald Trump. Brown apologized on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. Apologize for all the noise and the distractions Steeler nation let's […]

AB is just being a wide receiver. It's how they're wired.
 
See what Ben started now.
 
I didn't see a problem with it. It was a momentary issue (unless we missed more than the jug flip and short period of storming around) where he could have made a big play and was frustrated he didn't. If it had carried on longer than it did, I'd be more concerned.

Exactly. If he didn't want the ball you wouldn't want him. I've played and coached and never seen a great one that didn't have some of those petulant tendancies. I actually think that Ben and Tomlin should have said that is a locker room issue that is handled internally.

I agree...

Just another reason why this wasn't handled correctly..
 
# 84 must have watched film of him being covered initially then he manages to get wide open. Mmkay AB, you got the first read: covered. QB checks down and so on. "OH LOOKEE AT ME I'M OPEN BB" !! Uhh yeah, but if he held the ball that long some 300+ lb. Ratbird behemoth could have splattered your QB all over the turf!
Brown is double covered and until Ju Ju or Martavis start drawing bodies will Brown get to do highlights.
 
AB just needs to just stop being a drama queen and do what he does best. And that is be the best receiver in the world, period. And to realize the ball is not going to him on every play and it is just as important to be a team player.
I’ll tell you now that if he can’t grasp that concept, I will say we will never win a championship with him.

AB owes us nothing. His passion for the game and being great is the biggest reason why we have been blessed, as fans, with a HOF WR for the past 7 years. I ain't mad at him
 
His apologies mean nothing any longer. They are just words to him and have zero value.
I don’t want to watch you represent my team and my hometown the way you did Sunday. I would rather you act like an adult and stop the pouting, sideline antics and little temper tantrums and do what you do best.
I want to see you catching passes, scoring td’s and being a team player.
You talk always about be great. Then go be great and that includes being a team player.

You guys are creating something that isn't there. I'm rewatching the game. The punt return after AB's blowup, he takes the ball out of bounds into a group of Ravens, and Nix starts mixing it up. AB grabs Nix and calmly walks him back onto the field.

Yea, he's a terrible teammate...
 
Great player, but he's just like Woody Harrelson describes on white men can't jump, he'd rather put up stats and lose than have bad stats and win.
Just have to hope he keeps putting up #'s

Thing is, for WR's unless they get the ball they're not doing much except running around doing nothing, and they feel like they're running around doing nothing, so they get pissed after a while when nothing comes their way. The best ones are divas too but it's the nature of the position, Hines Ward being a notable exception who would go headhunting for linebackers and safeties in his spare time.
 
Yeah I agree, but he shouldn't get ****** and let it effect his play if he's not getting his numbers.

I don't think he lets it affect his play like Randy Moss or Ocho Cinco did.
