Will Tomlin put up with these TD celebrations that lead to penalties like last year?
Ed Bouchette
2:09
Most TD celebrations are permitted now.
Tina

Kmart or Zayre?

WHY DOES BEN ALLOW THE PLAY CLOCK TO WIND DOWN TO THE LAST SECOND OR TWO BEFORE THE SNAP.   THEY LOOK "RUSHED" WHEN THEY FINALLY SNAP THE BALL.
Ed Bouchette
2:11
It's his Peyton Manning imitation

Hi Ed, How many Super Bowl victories would the Steelers have had post-Cowher if Belicheck was the head coach given the roster over the years?
Ed Bouchette
2:12
Maybe 0
Kevin in Punxsy

After reading Tomlin's comments about why he played A Chickillo and not James H, it seems (to me) that he has pushed JH down the charts and will only play him if TW and AC are both hurt. Your thoughts?
Ed Bouchette
2:13
Arthur Moats also got onto the field Sunday.
Scott in Amsterdam

In his press conference today, Tomlin sounded pretty certain that James Harrison will play a big role on this team before the end of the season...should that put to rest any discussion that he was demoted for performance reasons?
Ed Bouchette
2:13
No because MT basically admitted he did NOT play because of performance reasons -- the performance by A. Chickillo in Cleveland
Chuck
2:14
I keep reading how LB is out of sync and rusty (self imposed rust) so why not mix in Connor more than a couple snaps to see what we have in him?
Ed Bouchette
2:14
Only one way to shake off that rust. He has to play.
Scott in Amsterdam
2:14
Have to be encouraged by the performance of Joe Haden so far, agree?
Ed Bouchette
2:15
Yes, I would agree.

Hi Ed...great chat as always...Did Bryant seem to get more used to the speed of the game and kick into a higher gear?..he seemed to be real fast on TV
Ed Bouchette
2:15
I thought he played at the top of his game Sunday, including drawing that 49-yard pass interference penalty. He was unstoppable on the TD reception on the slant.
MDB
2:16
Hi Ed-any thoughts on the Bengals situation and their continued loyalty to Marvin Lewis?  Seems a little like how it ended with Chuck Noll in Pittsburgh, of course without the rings...
Ed Bouchette
2:16
Yeah, Chuck built up just a tad more equity with those 4 Super Bowl rings.
Brandon
2:16
How much longer til Bell returns to $15m/yr form? Is this due to poor o-line play or missing all of summer camp?
Ed Bouchette
2:17
He's only earning $12.12 million a year.
MDB
2:17
Rank the following in order of chances that make HoF-faneca, ward, Harrison, Polanski, Big Ben
Ed Bouchette
2:17
I think Polanksi has the best chance of all of them.
But who is he?
Mike from michigan!
2:17
Defense looking strong through two weeks, despite who they've played their still pros, even our depth looks good, barring any injuries thinking top five defense this year?
Ed Bouchette
2:18
They are No. 3 now, at least in yards allowed. Yes, they can be top 3.

When will Steelers return to their original font style for their jersey numbers?
Ed Bouchette
2:18
You mean from those 1933 uniforms?
Steeler in Virginia
2:18
Why do kickoff returners risk running the ball out with limited opportunity for success versus the guaranteed 25 yard placement and possibility of holding.  Overly ambitious?  Authorized?  Foolish?  GIve me more that one word:  Foolish.
Ed Bouchette
2:18
How about . . . stupid?
Tom
2:19
So if the Steelers won their first 2 games 30-0,  would Steeler fans complain that we are  peaking to early?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
Maybe not the fans, but I would.
SteelerAl

With the Jets, Bill and Dolphins being who we know they are, the Pats will go 14-2 and have homefield in the playoffs, where we will go, play zone again and be destroyed again.  Why even bother?
Ed Bouchette
2:19
I agree. Let's get right to those Stanley Cup playoffs and Pitt basketball.
Mark from Sauquoit N.Y.
2:20
AV is struggling some, has he acknowledged he needs to step it up?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
He was sick Sunday, so let's give him a pass on that game.
Ike Steelheart
2:20
Regardless the competition, do you think this is there best defense since the Farrior, Polamalu, Taylor and Co. ?
Ed Bouchette
2:21
So far, yes. It's a long season.
Mark from Sauquoit N.Y.
2:21
Is Eli Rogers and JuJu splitting time? Rogers catches passes but needs to keep his feet to gain more?
