1 game...1 play

Well, the Steelers season is finally over. Nice way to end, especially if this is Cowher's last hurrah. Looking at the final season stats, amazing to see how many yards Holmes ended up with. But the sad thing is that after the Denver amazing collapse against San Francisco, the Steelers would have made the playoffs with just one more win. In fact, you can probably argue that if any one of the following plays goes the Steelers way, they would have made the playoffs. The list of plays that will live in infamy for this season:
- Ben throws a INT in the end zone (common theme) in the 1st half in the 1st game against Cincy. Could have almost salted the game away right there.
- Coclough fumbles away the 4th quarter punt against Cincy when the Steelers have the game in control.
- Hayes fumbles against Cincy, allowing them to take the lead.
- Nate Washington false start against Atlanta prevents game winning field goal attempt.
- Ben INT at the goal line against OAK returned for a TD. Turn that into a FG instead and the Steelers win.
- Parker fumbles against the Ravens in game 2.

Oh well...on to next year. Schedule looks tough:
- 2 vs. Baltimore/Cincy/Cleveland (4-2 should always be the goal)
- NFC teams: Seattle/SF at home (tough games but both at home). At AZ (could be tough). At STL.
- AFC East: At NE (ouch.). At NYJ (could be rough). Buffalo and Miami at home (nice.)
- Other AFC: Denver and Jacksonville (egads...)
