Anyone who says Tomlin needs to get fired is a complete idiot and knows nothing about football. Steelers fan friend I know, understands football and the Steelers as much as the most intense fans on this board know the Bills, is extremely smart and also is very over Tomlin and his schtik 1

Have to kill all day long doing something as to not have to sit in a hotel room. Ugh. Could get a little rough for visiting fans in there too. Hunker down. Stay the course! lol Here are some ideas of what to do in PGH: https://travel.usnews.com/Pittsburgh_PA/Things_To_Do/ https://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/pittsburgh-us-pa-pt.htm personally, I recommend the Science Center, Incline, Strip District and History Center. The Science Center currently has a Mummy exhibit that is getting GREAT reviews (have not gone yet). It also has a decommissioned WWII era submarine that you can tour. The Incline is just fun, great views, and lots of bars/restaurants in Station Square. The Strip District is also a fun place to visit, better on Sat morning because everything is open, but still a good place to hit up on Sunday Morning. Finally, the History Center is really good, and there is a Sports History Center attached to it (although it is a Western PA sports history center). Someone also mentioned casinos. Rivers Casino is also right downtown. Good place if you're into gambling. PM me if you need any other suggestions! Edited December 12, 2019 by RyanC883 1

Steelers 12-3 or something in last 15 home primetime games. Crazy record. Lets make that 12-4!!!! I'll be there. Section 506. Freezing my a** off and being loud for Bills.

Get here!!!! Also, question: do you drive up and back for Bills games? I had ST's one year and did that. Exhausting, but doable. Reasons for not going to the game - family considerations. Enough said. Yes, I do drive up & back home to Gibsonia for home games. Only occasionally do I stay over. I may try to stop by the Saturday night party at Mario's, we'll see. Likely will be there Sunday night. Edited December 12, 2019 by BillnutinHouston

Just giving you a hard time/bad attempt at being funny That's dedication driving up and back for all the home games. And Gibsonia!!!!! That's awesome. What township? I was in Hampton for a while. I think Wexford Ale House was an "unofficial" Bills Backer Bar. The owner is from Buffalo. Beef on Weck was (perhaps still is) on the menu. The wife is not a huge fan of the place, so I haven't been in a while.

I told him hes an idiot Tomlin has never had a losing season in his 12 full seasons as a HC. He's won the division 6 times, made the playoffs 8 times (maybe 9 if they get in this year) won the conference twice and the SB once. He's just 47 years old. Some people don't know how good they've got it. 1

Will be at the game (section 113), just got my tix. Ironically, this will be the shortest commute to a Bills game that I've ever had in my 10 years as a STH!!!! Gibsonia is in Richland Township, just north of Hampton. Edited December 12, 2019 by BillnutinHouston

Steptide Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I know there won't be THAT many bills fans at this game, but I remember being at the 04 steelers/bills game and there was litterally bus after bus after bus of steelers fans. I hope bills fans can invade their stadium the same way

Ga boy Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Pumped about driving up from NVa. Got a lifelong friend in Pittsburgh who got some skybox tickets. Get to see how the other half cheers. If we lose, at least I won't be cold and maybe wet. Yay me! I like our chances!! Go Bills!!
CowgirlsFan Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Many Bills related social media links are calling for fans to bring red towels to wave to compete with the Steelers Terrible Towels. Participate as you wish or don't.

BillsPride12 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Yes getting on the road in about an hour. Will be at the Bills Backers tailgate and possibly the party at Mario's Saturday night. I still have nightmares from the game at the Ralph in 04. I really, really, really hope we can repay the favor this time around
plenzmd1 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 if someone planing on going to Mario"s can DM me their cell number i would be highly appreciative.Jacksonville has scarred me from going to the "official" night before places, as the onslaught of #Billsmafia is more than expected. So if someone was there and keep me informed of the situation, i would buy them a beer at the game! 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I am not attending, but have found that drinking copious amounts of Rolling Rock beer can: 1.) Keep one’s self heating system quite functional. 2.) Render the drinker safe behind a chemically produced wall of green death. * As Sgt. Esterhaus used to say, “Let’s be careful out there.”
Heitz Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 WE WERE ON THE PLANE!! Bummer, a ground delay in DC has put our (well, I'm traveling alone, but my Mafia friends are also on this flight) is likely going to make us miss the connect. That said, we're moving forward people - make it to DC, then we figure out to how to get to the 'Burgh ??
