Benson had one more season in him before crapping out with the Packers
Chad sat the bench in New England
TO got cut from the Seahawks and never played again (he actually put up some good numbers here, though)
whatever crappy TE's we had never did anything
Shipley and Gresham stepped up fairly well, admittedly
Toss in the fact that our defense took a big step back from 2009, Benson started fumbling like it was going out of style, and our late-game heroics of 09 either came up short or turned into late-game collapses and it's all so clear. I think like 7 or 8 of the losses that year were by less than 7 points or something, but I haven't looked it up in a while.
There were at least 3 losses where if Palmer didn't throw a pick 6 they could have won the game:
23-17 loss against the Colts (1 pick 6)
24-21 loss against TB (1 pick 6)
23-7 loss against the Steelers (2 pick 6)
In fairness to T.O., he was a 37-year old wide out.
