Odds that Dupree is on the team next year?

Ed Bouchette

2:33

90 percent since they picked up his fifth-year option.

I’m not saying that all of the penalties were bad calls but would you agree that a lot of those penalties on both sides was an over active officiating crew?

Ed Bouchette

2:33

I believe NFL officiating is very difficult and the league is making it even tougher on the men who have to make the calls the league wants.

Weird to say that a game in week 2 is a 'must win' but if they drop the game to KC it might be a long season...maybe 0-5-1 going into the bye week. Thoughts?

Ed Bouchette

Or, if they lose, a possible 0-15-1 still, right?

But if they win, a possible 15-0-1 too.

Do you think they got too conservative on offense when they had the 21-7 lead?

Ed Bouchette

2:35

Bill Cowher's teams were 108-1-1 with a lead of more than 10 points in a game by being conservative.

Do you think Coach T will learn from his mistake next season and get his stars some reps in the preseason so they aren't quite so rusty in their openers?

Ed Bouchette

2:35

Why would you say that's a mistake? Most every NFL team follows the same philosophy in the preseason.

Reekie

What do you expect in terms of internal discipline for Burns losing his mind and then his helmet? Disgraceful

Ed Bouchette

2:36

More like external discipline. He will be fined.

Thanks for another great chat. See you next Tuesday.
