Remember earlier in the season we were all clamoring for more no huddle. Ben is better calling his own stuff. etc.

Down the stretch and to the playoffs I don't remember seeing this again. Nor was anyone yelling for it etc.

What happened ? Did haley make us forget about it with better calls in mid season? Did they just abandon it ?

Am I on crack and didn't notice they were doing it?

I don't think they used it at all in Denver. It's harder on the road. Really hard without AB on the field (since he and Ben know what each other is thinking at all times) and maybe being down to Toussaint at RB had an effect as well.
 
They didn't use it much in the last few games and absolutely should have- especially with the slow starts that had become the norm. With the 4 or so games in a row with slow starts, I would have opened with the no huddle to get things going. It might have gotten the O out of the funk they seemed to be in.
 
I never paid too much attention, but one thing that Arizona does all of the time that the Steelers may consider is to use the silent count. Ben's home/road splits were awful this year and while that may not be the biggest issue, it could at least keep them on the same page offensively each week.
