Wonderful news ... opportunity for MB to step up, and he did big time.

Big old TD.

Fighting for the ball hard, like he hasn't been known to do so much.

I think that's a real positive, above and beyond the win of course!!

He'll get his mojo back hopefully. Getting the TD was huge.

4 catches for 40 yards with a safety playing deep over Brown all game.
This guy was a gamebreaker....someone who couldn't be covered 1 on 1 without someone over top. He got more opportunities but he's playing like a backup filling in temporarily. Adequate.
This guy was supposed to come back, pick up where he left off and the Steelers offense would be unstoppable.
The drafting of JuJu was a life saver.

[Starlifter]

He made some catches today - but he goes down waaaayyyy to easy.

[Slapstick]

Was Brown really being double
covered all game? I’ll grant you the first half, but they really seemed to drop the double coverage on Brown in the second half...and it showed...

He was also the guy who was almost universally wrote off by the membership on here after the "Trade me" fiasco a month or so ago. I'm fine where he's at right now... considering the alternatives.

He's being outplayed by a true college senior right now. Take that college senior out of the game and we lose production from our #2.
This is a guy who's capable of putting up 80-150 yards per game. Something is wrong w/ his head.

This game was probably the best that Bryant has looked all year. Nice grab on the TD and he showed a little more fight as well. I can't understand why they keep using him on the reverse - it never works. He's not back to what we saw in 2015, but he at least looks back to being a contributor.

All of that is true; the last statement is debatable though. Given what he's been through, it's going to take him some time to get "Back in the fold"... to win Ben's trust, regain confidence in himself, his teammates, etc. I personally am okay where he's at, realizing he has a much higher ceiling...
He's slowly working his way back in the fold, and that's a step in the right direction.

In the off-season, I'm not opposed to moving him and getting a good draft pick or player.

Unfortunately, you do not get good draft picks or players for a malcontent who is one screw up from a lifetime ban.

I like the reverse...it hasn't been successful so far this season, but it was deadly when he took it for a 44 yard TD @Cincinnati...

I think they should keep teams planning for it and fake it more often...

At any rate, 4 catches for 40 yards and a TD is closer to his usual stat line...he has had big games, but his numbers are generally modest...again, with the best RB and best WR in the league, there aren't a lot of extra footballs...

This. MB has no trade value, especially with his performance this year. We should keep him for the duration of his contract to play WR3 and then let him walk. I would be up for potentially re-signing him at the end of his contract, but I think he'll need to test UFA to see his value.

[Slapstick]

I would love to see MB, AB, and JuJu all playing well at the same time...

[feltdizz]

4 for 40 yards? Pfffft that isn’t stepping up BIG TIME

Lmao
