Can’t believe I’m saying this, but 12 months ago I was on the bandwagon to move on from Bud... now he feels like a must sign.  I’m wondering Edmund’s is the same...?  Crazy talk?

Could be. Edmunds strikes me as great from an intangibles standpoint. Guy's in great shape and will work his butt off. Decision on his fifth-year option is still a year away.

Why didn’t Fitzpatrick end the year strong?  Did the coaching staff confuse him or teach him different less effective methods. He tailed off. Only thing I cAn think of.

Just didn't really have as many balls come his way. I still thought he was sound for the most part. One or two missed tackles yesterday I noticed, but he's hardly a question mark going into 2020.

Is there a reason you encourage more of the "Fire Tomlin", "Fire.....whomever", "Play calling was horrible" questions/comments with your sarcastic responses to them? Why not ignore them instead of providing more fodder for your next chat?

You should see how many DO get ignored! But seriously, we're out of time now today, and I suppose this may be the last Monday chat from me for the foreseeable future. We will still have plenty of chats the rest of the week, plus my mailbag, plus a new episode of our North Shore Drive podcast, and all the usual content we deliver on www.post-gazette.com. Thanks to all for following along in my rookie year on the beat, and you can always find me on Twitter @BrianBatko. Enjoy the new year!
