Antonio Brown’s Frustration Boils Over Early

[Steeler Nation]

The Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens 26-9 on Sunday in Baltimore, but not everyone on the Steelers sideline was happy.

Antonio Brown found himself wide open for what would’ve been an easy walk in touchdown if Ben Roethlisberger would’ve seen him, but he didn’t. Instead he threw one over Le’Veon Bell’s head and the Steelers […]

Didn't see the game due to living to close to the bungles, but the quick replay I did see I thought AB was covered initially which led Ben to move to the next progression.
Is that what happened?

Pretty sure you're right on this. Then AB through a **** fit.

AB was covered initially. By the time AB got open. Ben was looking elsewhere and didnt have time to throw the ball to AB, by the time AB was open if Ben would have looked that way he would have been flattened like a pancake by a defender big time. We see this stuff at slow mo so it looks like he has time, At game speed no way he had time to make that play.

Yeah that's exactly what happened, Ben was already starting his throw to Bell when AB broke open.

And people argued that he didn't throw a **** fit last year when he didn't score the TD in the AFCCG. The guy is talented as hell and works his *** off, but he's a selfish primadona.

AB still looked like he was a bit pissed off in the after game interviews I watched over at Steelers.com He needs to go back and watch the replay.

Standard issue Wr meltdown. If he didnt want the ball that bad you wouldnt want him. He led the league in catches yards going into the week. Get over it AB.

 

[LastRide]

Got a chance to re-watch that play AB got open fairly early after the 5-7 yard line. Ben made a quick decision to go to Bell. Ben had a small amount of time to make the play to AB. Ben wasnt even looking Browns way

 

[Coryea]

AB looked like the first read to me, Ben looked his way first, AB wasn't initially open, by the time he got open, Ben moved on to the next read and was starting to throw when AB broke open and there was a defender coming pretty quick.
There's not many out-drag-corner routes in the playbook

Yinz can watch on your computer, next time you have not being able to see the game issues. When I visited Germany last time, I still watched the game over there. The only thing I did on the computer for the entire visit.

I still have Sunday Ticket, this game itself was worth it


AB was cutting across the middle to the right, then stopped in a crowd, turned back to the left and defenders uncovered, Ben was already moving to his right, **** happens


....and yeah, AB got wide open, Ben took his eyes off him.......buy hey, AB is OUR diva, so it's OK


psst.....maybe Ben's got a new gf

Brow needs to get in the game, he can't always be the king pin. Win is more important than his stats. That play he was covered and by the time he was open Ben had to find someone else. Get over yourself, you are good be happy with a win.

Well, you also have to remember that Brown has a crazy number of games with 5+ catches right? So he is a bit of a stats freak as far as that goes. He may not be all that psycho about yards but I think he DOES want a minimum number of catches because the consecutive games with 5+ is important.

(Although I thought that consecutive games streak ended last year. Maybe I'm wrong.)

 

[Coryea]

Well he only caught 4 yesterday, would've been 5 if he tucked that phantom pick away.

Between the Diva act and the outright showing off like a middle schooler, AB can be embarrassingly immature....if he was made to act his age he would probably retire. Good thing he's got talent.

you get 52 players with his fire for the game and winning and you have yourself something......

Can't argue that but I wish he acted a little more like Hines Ward than Ocho Cinco. AB is happy when he gets his balls even in a loss. And if he doesn't get his balls he pouts even in a win. Just how it is I guess. Have to take the good with the bad.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Bugs me that in a huge road win over a hate divisional rival the big highlight is AB's little sideline tirade. But whatever, very happy they won followed by my pee wee Steelers finally beating our rival the Raiders later in the day. My son had the game saving tackle after their QB broke away on an apparent TD. Pretty proud dad, coach and Steelers fan yesterday. My week is made.

 

[bigtwnvin]

Based on the obvious game plan (to get #26 going and the running attack) and checking out Ju Ju. Yes he was so open a TD would have been a gimme but not at first. I have t believe AB is the first check; covered Ben has to look away. They'll be other opportunities as Byant, Ju Ju and others become more of a threat and draw coverage. Racehorses jump the gate sometimes.

Um folks looks like maybe AB route was designed

Check out the gifs and Haley's reaction

Still no excuse for his tantrum

 

[Skott]

It could be worse... He could have acted like OBJ and acted like a dog peeing on the filed. Or the 3 times oBJ had phantom injuries yesterday only to be back the next okay after rolling around on the field.

 

[south dakota STEEL]

Ben will retire after this season. my opinion, but he's got to be getting tired of the BS.

He's a better WR than either of those two. As long as he shows up and does his job every week I can deal with the rest. Folks get too wound up in their personalities and demeanor. Ben has some drama queen in him too, and we go nowhere if either of them is hurt for an extended period. Those other dudes are wide open for a reason.
