The 2009 schedule is up!

The schedule for the 2009 regular season schedule has been released and posted to your favorite Pittsburgh Steelers blog.

The thing that most immediately jumped out at us is that the Steelers have to wait until week eight for their bye week ~ this after having had the bye in week six the past two seasons and week four during the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Indeed, the 2009 bye week is the latest since the 2004 season when Pittsburgh had week seven off, a season in which the Steelers went 15-1.
