Michael Thomas, their wide receiver. Kamara out of the backfield. But their o-line is banged up, so pressure will be key

Ben blasted NFL networks Ian Rappaport for false reporting.  Why is Rappaport so wrong, and why doesn’t he ever take back bad reports.

Gerry, it will be a tough call if the Steelers win the coin toss, give the ball right away to he Saints lethal offense or deal with the crowd noise at the start.  What do you think they'll do if they win it?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
They won't give them the ball, rest assured

Six Steelers made the pro bowl, but Heywatd didn’t deserve to go.  JuJu did.  Ben was more deserving than Brady.  Why does pro bowl voting always stink.
Gerry Dulac
11:23
I don't think you watch football if you think Cam Heyward doesn't deserve the Pro Bowl

Did Eli Rogers not play much in the second half? He started off hot. Was he on a snap count?
Gerry Dulac
11:23
No.

While I appreciate your sarcasm....your answer didn't address Watt's pass coverage or run stopping abilities. You know....those other things that make someone a complete player.  Maybe you're not a complete journalist.

Wow, two (pick an adjective) observations in one chat.

THE REd FLAG.   When will Tomlin actually win a challenge?
Gerry Dulac
11:25
It's been three years now.

I saw Julian Edelman wore shoes to honor the Tree of Life victims and Bob Kraft visited there.  Are those two both Jewish. Or just being nice?
Gerry Dulac
11:28
I'm not sure, but what they did was very nice and thoughtful, not to mention compassionate

Unless I am doing something wrong I show the Steelers can get a number 2 seed if they win out and the teams ahead of them lose out.  Ok, changes are slim to none but it could happen.  

I used this site: http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine

Well, that's true. But I'm not expecting the Patriots or the Texans to lose their remaining two. The Patriots haven't lost at home this year, and they're not about to do it twice

Gerry - Do you think the D on this team is good enough to go all the way?  Having to depend on them to protect a lead late in the game is a scary thought.
Gerry Dulac
11:30
At times, I do, in fact, the majority of the time. But two things trouble me -- not doing enough when they need it; and the amount of long, time consuming drives they have given up lately (two of 8+ minutes and another of 7:50 in the last 3 games). That means teams are methodically doing whatever they need to do to move down the field and eat the clock.

Why didn't we try to sign CJ Anderson?
Gerry Dulac
11:30
Not a good fit

The real MVP on Sunday was me.  I entered the game 0-6 in games I attended with Steelers vs Brady and the Pats.  I broke my streak.   Credit me, praise me!
Gerry Dulac
11:31
Praise be!!
Rick

Gerry - Do you think the snub on Ben is partly due to his baggage of his past troubles off the field?
Gerry Dulac
11:31
Ya never know

Watt Parents have a trifecta going.   All 3 boys will be in the playoffs.   Ever happen before?
Gerry Dulac
11:31
Good question. I'll check w Elias

Did James Conner practice today?
Gerry Dulac
11:31
They haven't practiced yet

For me beating the Pats was personal.  I still am convinced they cheated the Steelers in the past.  Have we finally cleared the New England hurdle?
Gerry Dulac
11:32
I'll say that when they beat Brady in New England. And when it really matters. You can never get back those 3 Super Bowls they stopped the Steelers from attending (2001, 2004, 2016)

Hi Gerry. Have you seen James Conner yet this week? Where do you put the probability that he'll play this week?
Gerry Dulac
11:33
Better than last week. Will know more tomorrow, not today

Marcus Gilbert has to get cut this offseason right?  Always hurt, backups are good.
Gerry Dulac
11:33
They're not as good as him
Hinestuff

First and goal from the 4.  Why not just put Rosie Nix in and run behind him four times?
Gerry Dulac
11:34
Yeah, that red zone offense is terrible. In case you haven't heard, they lead the league in TD conversions in the red zone, 76.7 percent. I don't think their methods need to be questioned.

Artie Burns played 3 snaps then got benched.   Did his Steelers career just RiP?
Gerry Dulac
11:35
No

Gerry - Which do the players like better a 1 or 4:25 start time?  Thank you.
