Antonio Brown getting called out

Anybody else think this was the cherry on top for Heyward packing it in? Clearly playing injured and watching a "leader" do that at the end of the game. I don't blame him one bit.

 

i watched something on nfl network and Cam looked really disappointed

gonna miss you big guy

feel better soon

 

I realize you can't tell a lot from a still photo, but it looks like Rogers was trailing the play making himself available for a lateral. Where was Bell? AB is left handed so it would have been a little easier throw across field for him. He really didn't even appear to give a lateral a second thought, that's what pissed me off the most.

Chime in all 22 guys. Were there options?

 

No, I don't think the two have anything to do with each other. If Heyward could play, he would. NFL players never want to pack it in due to injury, they want to be out there playing (at least 99% of them anyway).

Brown is supremely talented, but I just have such little respect for him. I just can't get behind that guy. I think he's extremely selfish. He didn't want to lateral because he wants to be the hero, he wants to be the one that scores. Having someone else be the hero is incomprehensible to him. He's no Hines Ward, that's for sure.

 

I thought it was only me who was wondering why they didnt keep at least Bell close to AB for a lateral. If he was gonna run out of bounds, he could have at least done it with 1 sec on the clock for possible FG. A 55 yrd FG attempt is a better chance than running out of bounds at the 20 with no time on the clock.

 

Bell stayed in to block
5 oline and a rb to block 4 dline and only 3 rushed ben

AB should have headed back to the middle of the field

and Bell damn sure should have trailed behind him

 

You are exactly right..He must cut inside,or stop and make them tackle him, pitch it back or throw it across the field...Stepping out is not a option...By stepping out he was saying protecting himself was more important than trying to win ....I don't think the Team should give him another big contract, he seems to be getting to selfish...

 

ive been saying he has been selfish since last year
i'd trade his arse at the end of the season for
new cleats for the entire team
new clippers for the clubhouse
different duct tape
block numbers
or
a bag of UTZ

or to the Browns for the #1 pick in next years draft
only if Mitch Trubisky comes out early

 

Duct tape
Block numbers
Utz
God bless America

 

turkey is never on the menu at thanksgiving

 

not upset about his catch phrase
it's just plain stupid

 

I personally don't think he's that selfish overall. I just think he made a mental error on that play. IMO it was dumb and his not wanting to admit publicly that Tomlin got on him about it is dumb. "I don't recall" you don't recal a conversation that two coaches say they had with you a couple days ago? Come on AB you can do better than that.

I hope we're able to sign him, he's a great player and I'd love to see him and Been together for a few more years.
The amount they pay him means nothing to me. I've never worried about that.

 

We just need a couple wins and we can refocus.

 

I seriously can't remember a time when I was looking so forward to a game against a winless team. This is ridiculous. LOL!

 

Who cares? They weren't going to pull off a Cal vs Stanford play in 1982.

 

No we need 6 or 7 wins, to win the AFCN.

 

WELLL YEAH

theres no band

gosh

i would have loved to seen a Bears v Lions thanksgiving day 1980 finish though

 

All the more reason American Gridiron Football; college or otherwise, is so intriguing. It is the ultimate allusion to what Tom Hanks stated in "Forrest Gump";


"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you goin' get."

 

Not when you give up and go out of bounds.

 

They did...Eli Rodgers. He's in perfect position for a lateral. behind and at an angle.

 

Here's a good example of how Ben and AB work well together when improvising.
In pic 1, we see Ben looking right, nothing there.
In pic 2, we see Ben looking left, nothing there.
In pic 3, we see Ben taking a few steps scrambling, AB breaks his route and heads for the sidelines, Ben sees it, and we get a completion.

 

I see that - I also see Cobi Hamilton more open than AB downfield. Not sure from that angle whether it was a more deliverable ball, though.
