    Poor baby, he's trying to be Odell Beckham, next he will be ramming his head into the kickers net, paying him the biggest non QB contract on the team isnt enough, he wants every pass thrown to him or he will throw a tantrum, grow up and act like larry fitzgerald instead of OBJ.....

    Most WR'S are Divas . As much as I don't like them complaining or throwing fits it does serve a purpose . WR'S need the QB to target them when they get the attention of the OC and QB they will get the targets .

    I bet he gets 15 looks next week, I just hope they are well designed and called in a timely manner .

    You guys missed my point...I'm betting we see that play again at some point this season where they use that against a defense.

    That's also a long throw though and one that they say you don't do. Across body across field...

    I think AB was more ticked that they left a TD on the field. He's very competitive, which I can see why he was upset. No need to brush the coach off, however.

    Ben is often too friendly toward his team mates. Sometimes getting in their face and throwing it back is good. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, weren't afraid to go off on teammates when they were called out.

    Ben never blames anybody but himself, was it on Ben sure it was, he hasn't been perfect this year. That being said not sure he could of made the throw, the heat was coming and he had to get rid of it.

    I was disappointed to see the outburst. There's no need for that distraction on the sidelines. If he has a legitimate gripe, then it might play better for everyone for him to address it in the locker room.

    That said, **** happens. I'm sure the team will be able to move past it and that AB will take responsibility for the outburst.

    Actually the worst part of it to me was the fact that I think on the next play or two Ben forced a pass into double coverage up the sidelines to AB. He shouldn't compound a mistake by making another just cause AB was mad,that's stupid. I'd rather miss that one pass and spread the ball around like he was. That's when we are at our best. Ben also threw a ill advised pass at the goal line to AB for no other reason than to appease him...again stupid. It needs to be about the W and nothing else...be smart.

    Wow I just finished reading the article on SD and I guess Batch and myself were wrong. I thought it was a ad lib and scramble play when in fact it was actually a designed rub....now that I think about it I do remember seeing Haley throw his hands in the air in disbelief that Ben missed on that play. Doesn't totally excuse ABs reaction but damn I can totally understand the frustration. Ben looked a little better this week but we gotta start hitting on these type of plays. Too many points still left out there.....

    SD? Steelers digest?

    What did it say (paraphrase)

    Because it looked to me like the safety was crossing expecting to be covering the throw to Brown and when Brown saw that he jumped it, he cut it off and up.

    That's a hell of a designed throw if what you say the article said.

    Ideally, you dont want to make that throw but he was wide open. I think the guy selling cracker jacks in the stands was closer to AB than any Ravens player.

    I really don't see this as an issue going forward. It was a heat of the moment reaction. It was early in the game and he was mad that the Steelers wasted an opportunity to get 7 points.

    The way the play unfolded it would have been difficult for Ben to come back across the field.

    I'm sure when Brown saw the tape he understands that.

    I don't mind the gatorade cooler throw, but AB can't be slapping people's hands away, especially coaches'.

    Ben just gave AB THE Heath Miller beat down. When Ben says Heath wouldn't have acted that way you can only hang your head sheepishly and say won't happen again
