    He cost us the Raiders game fumbling after the catch he blew it today after a good punt return he's too careless running with the ball reminds me of Mendenhall. Then he did a bonehead move running out of bounds with a minute left in the game. For all the Mike Wallace haters Brown isn't a number one receiver either he has been inconsistent since he got that new contract he doesn't get in the endzone enough.

    I think everyone of our skilled players have cost us a game this year. All the running backs, Ben, Wallace, Brown but I still think Brown is the best receiver we have. But I would sit him down next week for at least the first quarter and have Sanders join him. Putting the ball on the ground is inexcusable.

    Franco Harris fumbled a lot too, and I suspect if this board existed in the 70's there would be threads similar to this.

    Antonio makes far more good plays than bad. We don't get to the Super Bowl 2 years ago without him, methinks. And, he will make up for his mistakes, rest assured.

    There's no denying that though Brown makes a lot of plays to help the team, he's made his fair share of blunders.

    I tend to think that that both Wallace and Brown just haven't learned the mental discipline to be all-stars in this league. I hope they will, though.

    If I were one of the team leaders I would begin an internal team bounty. Any fumble/turnover will cost you $10k per. Any penalty will cost you 2k and a general rule stupid football play cost you $10k. Young Money Crew would quickly become the Broke Ass crew!

    If I were Antonio, I'd be ashamed to collect my game check after this fiasco! Pathetic!!!

    I don't think he's overrated, I think he is what he is, a #2 WR. The problem is we're expecting too much from him. We need a true #1 WR. That will shield Brown a lot. Right now, we're asking him to do more than he's capable of.

    I think the loss of veteran leadership on both sides of the ball has reared it's head big time this year.
