    No effort, giving himself up several times. no fight in him.

    Missed Ju Ju out there. He is the #2.

    JuJu surely missed... but at least he got the suspension out of the way.

    MB is the worst run-after-catch receiver I've ever seen.

    Yup. He really had an opportunity tonight with JuJu out. That really is very disheartening, because if this team is going to go deep in the playoffs they are going to be relying on the offense.

    He knows JuJu has taken his spot. Looks like he’s just trying to get thru the season without getting hurt so he can go somewhere else. Good riddance. He’s not worth all the trouble he’s caused.

    I've been defending him all year but yeah, he's half arsing it out there. AB let him have it after he was gingerly blocking downfield. Looked like Ben was disgusted with him on a couple plays. It's a shame because he looked like a total freak of nature in 2015. He may still be a freak but he'll probably be displaying it for anothe team next year.

    I may be naive and hopeful in saying this but I’d like to think it’s down to a complete lack of confidence instead of lack of effort.

    He’s making poor choices and looks like he no longer believes in his own ability.

    Will a big game from him change that? I’m not so sure

    Have to disagree, to me it looks like Ben throws the worst passes every time he goes to him.

    The slacking argument doesnt jive with what teammates and beat writers say about him, hes busting his ass trying.

    I dont have any confidence that him and Ben will start hooking up this year, maybe ever again. Need JuJu back.

    He looks like Wallace in his last year here. Funny seeing Wallace actually try and stop the interception. Where was that against the Cowboys ?

    Thought the same thing. Think I saw him defending more passes this game then his whole time in Pittsburgh.

    I still don't want to give up on him lol. I'm still holding out hope he comes up big for us at some point. One big play in a big moment could completely turn things around. It's happened before numerous times.

    I'll never forget. We needed to beat the Cowboys for a chance at playoffs. Ben throws an out to Wallace and he half asses and let's it get picked. To this day I think he purposely gave up on the route/team.

    Wallace's last year here Ben threw a pick and Wallace looked like our defense this year. He just let the dude run free to the endzone.

    They need to put Martavis in the best situations to succeed, those short routes to the sideline worked well for some easy first downs.

    I remember those reverses used to work, but not this season. Either teams are ready for it, or he lost speed when he added all that muscle.

    Bubble screens should never be designed for MB. That’s misuse of personnel/play design. Man coverage with defender playing off is the only time that MB should be thrown that quick sideline pass.

    The Steelers Facebook page is running a clip of one of Bell's TD's and guys high fiving. Bryant comes into the frame with a smile as big as AB's that isn't a guy who is half assing it.

    He caught everything thrown his way tonight. He needs to be taken off kickoffs.

    What? He can’t catch anything that is close to being contested, and his speed is horrible, it’s like he doesn’t think he’ll be targeted, so he gives half effort.

    I like him on kick-offs give us a dynamic we haven't had in awhile. Ravens just exposed something though. Patriots will definitely kick it short. Why not just have them stand at the 5 and make them kick it into the endzone?

    He didn't used to run that way though. Several of his best plays were across the middle cut backs!

    He's not the guy you want running to the short side of the field though and they do that with him a lot!
