Yes, all WRs have off games...but the great ones beat good competition, AJ has struggled against it.  Anyone who watches this team week to week knows this without Google.

I have asked over and over again.  Please give me a list of the wrs that never get shut down by good CBs.

Just give me the names and I will prove you are wrong.

Since you are so certain of this it shouldn't be hard for you to just give me the names, right?

Just give me a list of the WRs who do so much better against good CBs than Green.

Apparently you are unable to do any actual research yourself.  So I will do it for you.

Both of those streaks are firmly at the feet of Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis and they aren't the past; they are the present, and future of this team.  When the whole team looks awful it is on the head coach and/or ownership.  Personally, I'm still confident we can win a playoff game this year, but I also thought we were over the whole "not showing up at all" phase, as well.  Ok, generic rant over.

That is how it works with almost every WR.  Sometimes they win, and sometimes the CB wins.

Julio Jones was held to 68 yards last year against Haden.

in 2013 Calvin Johnson was held to 25 yards on 3 catches by Haden.
