Looking back at the 2008 regular season
W-L Home Away Division
Steelers 12-4 0.750 6-2 6-2 6-0
As we all know the Steelers had the toughest schedule in the NFL at the beginning of the season, going into the season our opponents were a combined 0.598.
At the end of the season our opponents combined record was 0.526, haven't looked at other teams opponents records but one thing is for sure, this was a very tough schedule.
The opponents the Steelers beat were a combined: 0.476 (you can thank the Bengals and Browns for bringing that one down)
The opponents the Steelers lost to were a combined: 0.727
We played 6 teams which are in the playoffs
There has been a lot of talk in the last weeks about how bad the offense, the running game, Ben, Willie, Arians, etc are. I am not saying that there isn't room for improvement or that the Steelers have done a perfect job in the regular season, but looking at the numbers I can say one thing. This is a GREAT team, I think we can all remember hearing and thinking that whoever won the AFC North would do so with 8, 9 or 10 wins at best, and here we are at 12-4 (and those losses came to teams who are 0.727!!!).
So I for one have very little to complain about after this regular season and I'm very pumped for the playoffs
