    I'm tired of some of his antics after every first down catch he has to run 5 yds up the field to celebrate get your butt back in the huddle. He needs to learn some ball security that fumble near midfield cost the team the game. He was surrounded by like 3 guys he needs to know when to get down and not try to do too much, the announcer pointed this out also.

    I can live with it....The extra work on the fumble at midfield...can turn into a TD as easy as any of the other he has turned nothing into something.....Just like Ben....got to live with Ben being Ben...and Brown being Brown.

    about that fumble, he was grabbed in the face mask and pulled one way and the other guy stripped him. However, the TD he fumbled and recovered and Wallace butter fingers means we should practice holding onto the ball

    Oh jeeez...not we're getting nit picky about a player who shows passion/etc after a catch. The kid loves this game and shows it by always working out or whatever...putting extra time in...he's always at the facility it seems and just does whatever is asked of him...and after loosing one fumble you're going to nit pick about him getting pumped up and being passionate after catching the ball/etc...wow. No Fun League is right for some of you...

    First let me state, that he is my favorite player on the team,
    He is a game changer, BUT HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO FUNDAMENTAL
    FOOTBALL AFTER THE CATCH. SECURE THE BALL ANTONIO, you are better than this.

    I knew his day would come with his fumbles. He scares me to death with his ball control. Mike Wallace isn't much better with ball handling either.

    Wallace and Brown make Roethlisberger's job easier. These guys are good.

    AB is the least of our worries......He shows up for every game and plays hard. He will learn from this game and I bet you wont see it happen again.

    Wow, questioning AB now. He had trouble securing the ball yesterday, get over it. He's one of the most hard working, respectful, well spoken kids on the team, give him a break. And do you think he is the only one who celebrates after making a play? Just about everyone does, on both sides of the ball.

    On the list of things to worry about, AB's antics are like #985.

    When you score 31 points against a team like the Raiders, you SHOULD be able to beat them. This loss is all on the defense.

    Antonio Brown plays with heart and passion! We could use some more of that on the other side of the ball! Sure he made a mistake fumbling and it cost us "huge"! But make no mistake, we lost that game yesterday because we got no pressure on Palmer and we could not keep them out of the end zone! We have got to get more aggressive on defense or we will continue to get picked apart. That receiving corps for the Raiders was one of the weakest we will see and we didn't have the balls to play tight man to man coverage? I just don't get it! Derek Hagan running wide open across the middle, Really? Derek Hagan? Dude just got signed off the street out of desperation!

    Could not agree more SteelerSteve. Yes that fumble hurt but our d was awful all game long yesterday. I just don't understand blitzing and then having the CB's play soft coverage.

    Keep in mind Brown had a PR called back because of a penalty. We need more of Brown not less.

    I love AB. But, I just knew he was going to have a fumble cost us he carries the ball away from his body a bit too much, he'll get it corrected, even Hines had a few fumbles in his days.

    I agree. I'm not sure we won't see it happen again - but I also think that what we're seeing is part of his learning curve. A player who tries to make a play every time they have the ball is one worth encouraging, just refining.

    This is one of the only games that i can remember wear brown fumbled the ball 2 times he is normally spot on every catch. I give him a break and hope he comes back stronger next game.

    Brown said after the game he should have gotten down on the ground before he fumbled the second time.

    I like Brown but I get what you're saying. Santonio used to drive me nuts with that stuff.

    AB will help us out 500x more than hurting us. We need expressive guys like him just like we need reserved guys like Polamalu. Nothing wrong with AB's play or attitude.
