BuffaloBillies Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Time to expose this smoke-and-mirrors team.

I was also at the game in 2010 when Stevie dropped that deep bomb. The bills are due to slay the steelers and it will be awesome to do so and clinch a spot in the playoffs ditto. They’re def in my top 5 hated teams / fanbases. Would be sweet to smoke them. 1
Stroke 17 Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Im 63, 45 year season ticket holder from northwest PA and like you hate the steelers and all their fans more than any other organization in the universe. like you I cursed the NFL rule of local broadcasts for years while I traveled 50 miles every Sunday when the Bills were on the road to watch my team. Like you i hate their obnoxious bandwagon jumping fans. No matter the conversation with a steeler fan it always ends with the mention of " yeah we got six". I get it they got 4 in the 70's when there was no free agency, the league was a littler weaker with the merger. That being said they have won 2 Super Bowls in 40 freakin years but the fans and the media act like they win one every other year. Sorry, I want/need the Bills to win this game on Sunday and help get them out of the playoff picture, i am just so anxious over this game. 63 freakin years old and still worrying about a football game'i am one sick guy.. Seriously, i wouldn't root for the steelers if they were playing Iraq.........................GO BILLS 1 2 1
CaptnCoke11 Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I’m in western PA about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. Local radio stations calling this game an easy win pretty much. Not worried at all about the Bills offense. They say their defense will get some turnovers from Allen and the offense will do just enough to win.
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Yeah. It's cute how Steelers fans think they're good. They just keep getting lucky and finding ways to win. They might lose out.

I've been a Bills fans for as long as I can remember, having immigrated to Buffalo when I was 2 years old. My first memories are of the bickering bills. Jim Kelly playing the Jets as a youngin. Ronnie Harmon dropping that TD in Cleveland, the Bills stadium playing Hootie and the Blowfish after making the Dolphins cry...basically I'm a lifer. And I love/hate it, probably like many of you. This is going to be my first post/thread. Why? A little bit more about my background. As I said above, I immigrated to Buffalo when I was just 2, and my family lived in upstate NY until I was about in 4th or 5th grade, and then we moved to PA. In fact the first Bills SB happened when we moved to good ol Scranton, Pennsylvania (note, not coincidentally the first time I ever cried because of a sporting event also happened in 4th or 5th grade). This, then, is where the story of my hatred of the Pittsburgh Steelers begins. Back in those days, you couldn't watch your team unless they were on national TV, or you lived locally to them. Yet I remember watching the Bills every Sunday with the rest of my family, and it was because my Dad purchased a satellite dish for the sole purpose of getting the Binghampton CBS. Why? Because apparently all of PA is a suburb of Pittsburgh. So actually this wasn't bad in the present, I only retroactively added to my hate for the Steelers wen I realized my Dad had to spend money and go out of his way or for us to be forced to watch the freakin Steelers or paid programming on Sunday afternoons. That hatred only TRULY began when I got to Penn State. Boy. Tell that group you from PA who's not a fan of the Steelers and they look at you like you're an alien. Then tell them you're a Bills fan, they'll turn into the most arrogant aholes you'll meet, acting like they invented football. To this day I tell people that Pittsburgh would be a wonderful city if you just got rid of all Steeler fans. Worst of all, this is where I encountered the awfulness that is the NFL Blackout/locality rules. If your local team wasn't sold out, or it wasn't in the 1pm/4pm time slot, you were watching paid programming. This was when I realized how lucky I was growing up with a satellite dish. This was awful. Now my Sunday football choices was the Eagles, those ugly ass Yellow and Black uniforms, or paid programming? Yea, FU Pittsburgh. (sidenote, I'm kinda/sorta a 2nd hand eagles fan) What's worse, even when the Bills showed the rare signs of life, who was there to stomp on it? Yep, you guessed it. The Villains of PA. There was the Willis McGahee led Bills, running through the AFC, trying to work their way back into the playoffs - only to be turned back by the 2nd string Pittsburgh steelers in the final game of the season. Fitzmagic! Win 3 straight games, start getting some momentum going. Along come the Steelers. We got this. We get to OT. Fitz throws an absolute BEAUTY of a bomb in the back corner of the end zone, that thing must have gone 50 yards and dropped on an absolute dime of a target area. It hits Stevie Johnson right in the hands, I'm screaming my head off, the announcers are yelling in celebration, it's happening! We beat the Steelers.....but no. Even when they DON'T involve the Bills! They're easy to hate. Do we all remember Super Bowl XL? I lived in Seattle between 2011 - 2017, and let me tell you, they will always remember that one. You know what city has a different narrative than the rest of America? You guess it. Ask someone from Pittsburgh about the horrible officiating from SB XL and they'll cite some random missed hold on the Hawks; remind them of phantom touchdowns for the Steelers, phantom OPI that took away a TD, a steeler Offside that caused a hold that negated a TD...and you get blank stares as if none of that ever happened. Because in their minds it was Jerome Bettis Week, and the bus DESERVED to win a title in his hometown, and of course there was no bad officiating, yinze are just jealous. I'm a Bills/Knicks/Mets/Syracuse/Penn State fan. Despair and failure runs thick. The only championship I've "experienced" as an adult was the Melo led Orange in 2003. And of course along the way I've developed some sporting hates. The Yankees, Ohio State - but NOTHING will ever match my personal dislike of the Pittsburgh effing Steelers and that arrogant, smug as crap fanbase. So yea, to HELL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and lets effing go Buffalo. Pound these guys to nothing. Dear Lord. Post of the decade. It almost feels like I wrote this. It’s incredible and exactly how I feel. Steelers fans are the absolute worst. I hate the Steelers specifically due to the fans. They are incorrigible. They act like the NFL owes them something for their existence. It’s so annoying. Ive had to sit back and watch that team catch just about every break known to man over the years. It’s been horrible. And then you have to hear about the Steelers defense like they invented defense. The Steelers are by far my most hated franchise in sports and hopefully it’s finally our time this Sunday. They have had their moments...time to pass the torch. 1

In grade school in 90s most of my friends were Bills fans. People my age at least. There were a lot of adult Steelers fans (most likely bandwagoners from the 70s).I go into the Marine Corps in 2000 and come back home 5 years later and it turned into a Steelers city and Bills fans became outcasts. So yes, screw Pittsburgh and there obnoxious fans I live in erie pa also...its overrun with steelers fans
Big Blitz Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I'm going to the game with one of those fans the OP describes that is from Pittsburgh. Great dude been friends for years. Was in his wedding. When they talk about the Steelers tho boy. If you arent aware of their championships they will most definitely remind you about them.
JoPoy88 Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Pitt doesn’t bother me as much as other teams but i still love OP’s post.
Process Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I never really minded the Steelers. I now ****ing hate them and their fans. Well done. 1 2
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I feel ya OP; I have Steeler fans as part of my family in Western PA to this day, and is where I grew up just north of Pittsburgh near East Brady from whence Jim Kelly hails...I had to endure my share of grief and Steeler only games on Sundays while my beloved Bills could sometimes on a good day be had from an out of the way station on the AM dial of my stereo if the trade winds blew just right...It’s beyond time to start a new streak, one that establishes a new sheriff in town! 1

Samwell Tarly Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Would love to see that franchise experience 20 years of qb carousel and playoff drought. Let's see how many fans they really have after that.
CLTbills Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I spent three years in Northwestern Ohio where I went to school in Lima. Ben Roethlisberger was actually a local, having been born in Lima and played high school ball in Findlay, just 30 or so minutes away. There were a LOT of Steelers fans in the area. We'd go to the local Buffalo Wild Wings to catch Bills games and they were always so obnoxious. For a time there, for me at least, they ranked right up there with Cowboys fans. I was at that B-dubs for the 2010 Stevie drop. I cannot STAND those fans. Eff them.
The Firebaugh Kid Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 This is going to be a gigantic win. Play our game, confuse this young qb, run the ball, and win.
YoloinOhio Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Make the duck caller rethink the profession. Cute story ends Sunday night. 1
