    A. Brown

    I know we talk about him every week. But this kid is shaping up to be the best player on offense. He is quick. Makes the tough catches. And catches everything thrown his way.
    He has a lot of heart...
    Love watching him play. Except when he does the Tone 1st down BS!

    He might actually be better than Stonio. I liked the play of Saunders and C Allen too. The young guys are steppin up.

      I'm lovin' Brown right now. But I gotta admit, I am frustrated a bit with Wallace. With the amount of space defenders are giving him, he really should have a mammoth-sized mid-range game and it's just not there. If Wallace had Santonio-like moves in the 12-15 yard range, he'd be completely unstoppable.

        I don't understand how they didn't get him the ball more. Essentially all of his catches were on one drive. He couldn't have been blanketed that bad...make an effort to get him the d*mn ball. The game should not have been this close. I hate complaining when we win (and maybe the fantasy manager in me is doing the complaining) but geez...he is so much better than any defender covering him.

          Antonio Brown is on pace for a 70 catch, 1000 yard season right now, in his 2nd season.

          Santonio Holmes has only had over 70 catches and over 1000 yards once in his career (and it was his 4th year in the NFL, after which we sent him packing for a 5th round pick...which incidentally was traded for Bryant McFadden and a 6th round pick that was used to select...drum roll please...Antonio Brown).
          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            Antonio Brown is our version of Wes Welker. Next year with a regular starter role, je should turn in pro-bowl numbers.

              Haha holy cow I never realized this.

              The Steelers front office owns. We dump lazy Stonio and end up picking up an incredible young WR that apparently lives on the practice field.

                Hey! Rule number one of WR comparisons...only short white guys are allowed to be compared to Wes Welker.

                  Steelers receiver Antonio Brown celebrates with fans as he leaves the field after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals.


                  >> If it isn't broken, don't fix it. That's the approach the Steelers took in attacking Bengals cornerback Leon Hall. Antonio Brown, who finished with five catches for 86 yards, had a field day against Hall. He toyed with him all day but practically owned him on the Steelers' final drive of the first half. Brown kept the drive alive by twisting Hall in knots on two third-down completions — 21- and 15- yard gains that put the Steelers in scoring position at the Cincinnati 46-yard line. Then, Brown sprinted by Hall for 17 yards. The Bengals left Hall in man coverage on the weak side of field. Roethlisberger exploited a confused Hall, who didn't get any help from safety Chris Crocker.

                  Antonio Brown had four catches in a drive that netted a 39-yard field by Shaun Suisham for a 17-10 halftime lead and Brown now has 26 catches for 364 yards and three touchdowns in the Steelers' past three games.

                    how does antonio have 3 touchdowns in his last three games and one touchdown for the season? Nice job, fact checker.
                    Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

                          I am pretty sure Leon Hall was out of the game after the first half, so I don't know about owning him all day.

                            I think Brown is going to be our most complete WR when it's all said and done.
