Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown didn't hold back on lashing out at fans on Tuesday afternoon.
After a fan attempted to critique Brown and the Eagles' offense on Twitter/X following their 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Brown went on a rant.
"Y'all fans swear y'all know everything," Brown said. "It’s a shot play to me. I’m the 1st read. He just missed the throw. Of course, we could’ve threw it 6 because it didn’t work but when the shit works everyone is happy. Quit all that buddy ball shit. I am decoys on many plays."
Brown didn't stop there.
"And all that he forcing me the ball shii too," he continued in another post. "I’m in his head bullshii. When I make plays , everyone happy , but when it’s incomplete it’s I’m making him throw me the ball. I get blame for more shit than anything. Tired of yall playing with my character."
The fan was pointing out a play of the game where it looked like Jalen Hurts was forcing the ball into Brown's hands over an easier pass to DeVonta Smith.
Brown isn't just frustrated with the Eagles fanbase, but also with his team's current situation after losing three straight games.
"I’m disappointed, but I’m not discouraged," Brown said immediately following the team's loss on Monday. "I personally know who I am, what type of football player, how special I am. I’ve just got to focus on my job and being ready to play, trying to get our guys in the room ready to play. Everything else, it’s all out of our control. We run routes. We catch the ball. We try to make plays. Other than that, we can’t control any of that stuff. As much as we don’t like it, there’s nothing we can do about it, bro.”
The Birds are without a doubt headed to the playoffs, but they may miss out on the No. 1 seed if they don't get past their frustrations and over this slump that they're in.
