Yes I do.

Gerry, I think cutting Landry Jones cost them this season - hear me out, if Jones would have been available during that Raiders game and come in, no way they'd been as bad as they were under Dobbs, and won...thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
11:11
It didn't cost them, but I get your point about the Oakland game. They still came back to take the lead, but I will remind you the defense didn't stop the Raiders on the last two possessions of the game. That being said, I still would have held on to Landry Jones for one more season. I did not agree when they released him
Leo

After what this team did to Troy, they deserve this
Gerry Dulac
11:11
What did they do to him? Keep him around for a year, maybe two, too long?
Guest
11:11
Was your Marvin Lewis tweet a joke or is there credence to him being added to the LB coaching staff?
Gerry Dulac
11:12
It was an observation. But, you know me.....
Guest
11:12
Any other coaching changes we should anticipate?
Gerry Dulac
11:12
There could be another in the works, beyond hiring replacements

Any shot at signing and tradeing Bell? and realistic shot at getting a number one for Brown?
Gerry Dulac
11:14
The only way they are putting the transition (not the franchise) tag on Bell is if they KNOW they can trade him somewhere before they do. Otherwise, they will let him go. The last thing they want is another year of the Lev Bell nonsense. And thank goodness for that.

Gerry - Is anyone in the Steeler organization concerned about the decline in public perception , or doesn't that rise to the level of anything to care about ?  Thanks.
Gerry Dulac
11:14
They should, absolutely

Im a season ticket holder and find the Art Rooneys silence to be annoying.  Steelers are being laughed at and mocked!    Do you think MT will be held accountable for this collapse of a season?
Gerry Dulac
11:16
I don't know what you want him to do -- come out and pound his fist on the table and make an angry public spectacle??? Their actions, not their words, will dictate what happens
Jacob
11:16
Hey, Gerry, why does it seem like Roethlisberger is impervious to any criticism or correction? The man throws a league-leading number of picks, and all anyone can say is 'you take the good with the bad' or 'well, he's a gun slinger'. How does that fly continuously? No one is above correction or improvement!
Gerry Dulac
11:16
Really?????
Jacob
11:16
Gerry, how does Heinz Field compare to Three Rivers?
Gerry Dulac
11:17
50 times better. This love affair with watching a game at Three Rivers is wistful lost romance
Jacob
11:17
Gerry, can AB come back from this and still thrive in this organization? How could he?
Gerry Dulac
11:20
I don't see any way imaginable in which that can be the case. I don't see how they can keep him and bring him back to the locker room after what he did. This wasn't a Facebook Live video or stupid social media stuff or threatening a reporter or even a 100 mph speeding ticket. This was bailing on your teammates -- refusing to practice, skipping meetings, not returning your coach's phone calls. Why oh why would ANYONE tolerate that or want that type of player in tour locker room?? I can tell you this -- the biggest stars on that team don't want that type of player.
Sterling
11:23
With 100 catches in 3 out of the last four years (rookie qb last year). Wouldn't Larry Fitz be a huge addition to this team with or without AB next year?
Gerry Dulac
11:24
Larry Fitz is a great addition to ANY team. He might be the classiest, greatest athlete I've ever been around.
Joe G
11:24
Like Noll and Cowher before him, Tomlin appears to have lost his edge and influence with his players and fan base.  It's just time to move on and I fear like our defensive personnel a few years back we are going to suffer mightily for waiting a year to two too long to make the tough decision to change.  Do you agree?
Gerry Dulac
11:25
I don't agree, but I understand your point
ALB
11:25
Gerry, If Bell and Brown are gone, along with the possibility of a bunch of FAs, how different will this team look next year and is there the possibility of a of a major downward trajectory?
Gerry Dulac
11:28
Downward trajectory is not a phrase the Steelers understand or ever employ. A horrible season for them is 8-8. Despondency has set in with the fan base over a 9-6-1 season. I understand the angst. But history has shown this franchise does not spiral into a downward trajectory. And it won't as long as No. 7 is the quarterback. Always remember this: They are never out of any game, they are never out of any season, as long as he is the QB. If people don't know that by now, they know NOTHING about football.
JMAC
11:28
Will the Steelers look for another big receiver to compliment JuJu and Washington?
Gerry Dulac
11:29
They will if AB is gone. Absolutely
ASIANGOLFERMAN
11:29
AB to NY Jets for Jamaal Adams..  Throw in LB too!!
Gerry Dulac
11:29
Zzzzzz
Joe
11:29
Hey Gerry - great stuff as always on the chats.  Doesn't look like much coaching change is coming (I would expect to it have already happened).  Since we will be going into next year with pretty much the same staff, why should we expect much of anything different next year?  Same team, same coaches, same results.
Gerry Dulac
11:30
Well, I wouldn't say the same staff because they have already let go of two coaches and could possibly add an additional one. I would not call that the same staff.
Jacob
11:30
Gerry, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it seems like you guys are a little too merciful to Butler and Smith for their coaching performances. Injuries aside, their players are not performing well. They're not the league's worst players so what do you or Ed see to give them a continual pass after years of the same failures and mishaps?
Gerry Dulac
11:30
AFC title game in 2016. 13-3 in 2017. 9-6-1 in 2018. I do not call that repeated failures and mishaps.
11:31
And with that kids, our time is up. Thanx for the questions. Bye now
