Feedback from the steelers forum...woah

[Hebert19]

I always check out the competitions boards before we play them.  Quite often sign up for an account and chit chat about the upcoming game...when I went to the steelers forum this time I found this.  *****...you would think they are 1 and 11 and not 11 and 1.  Also saw a couple other threads that it seems the majority think we will crush them.  Shocked really. 

 

Anyway thought I'd share.

This comment is the best...

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Steelers offense only scored 2 TDs... one in garbage time after Buffalo pulls ahead 3+ scores. Unless Conner has an epic game and the O-line miraculously figures out how to run block, it's gonna be more of the same.

[Hebert19]

I know their O hasn't been great but I don't expect this to be a cake walk.

What a time to be alive. You guys remember when Jeff Tuel was starting football games for us?

I do not find it surprising.  Every team has some Debbie Downers in its fandom who disappear after good games. upChuck DICKerson disciples were around during Superbowl years.

OMG.  They sound like a lot of the Bills "fans" on this forum!

I think some of us, for a week anyway, had convinced ourselves Tuel could be the next Tom Brady!  Fanaticism is a dangerous thing!

They are always like that. They expect perfection and feel entitled to it. Not unlike the Ohio state fan base tbh.

Maybe some ARE the Bills "fans" on this forum!

Some of them have expressed multiple personality syndromes.

On paper, the Bills are a horrible matchup for the Steelers.

Right.  There is a Bills fan page I "like" on Facebook.  Within 10 minutes of the end of the 49ers game, one guy was proclaiming that "This team isn't going anywhere with garbage like Levi Wallace"... people suck.

 

I understand where some of it comes from, I really do.  But if being a fan of a team is that taxing on you, you should probably just sit it out. Absolutely miserable fans sometimes....but they are in every team fan base.  I think I have a fairly realistic vision of my teams, but when things are going well, I am sure as hell not going to dwell on the negatives...enjoy the good times while they are happening, because, as we all know, the good times can be few and far between.

I also check out the opponents boards.  I don't post.

 

It's interesting to see the kind of fans on opponent boards.  While there are fans on all boards, at both extremes, I found the 49er fans to be mostly realistic regarding their expectations.  I visited the Steelers board the other day and found and thought the same thing.  Lots of introspection in that fanbase.

Wow....they are seriously down for a team that has only lost ONCE

I think they know who they've played though... Triple A schedule. The week before they needed a defensive TD to beat a qb who had 33 passing yards. They have not been playing good football especially lately and the record is not really indicative of the teams play.

[Matt_In_NH]

looks like a bunch of downers.........we do that stuff too though after a loss.  Its farily typical of NFL fans.   I listen to Sirius NFL radio and Steelers fans really get on them when they lose, especially to inferior teams.  Again, Bills fans are nancy's after this kind of loss too.

Not only that - I remember convincing myself that we had found some sort of "hidden gem" in Tuel, especially when we were winning that KC game (just prior to the 100 yard pick 6).

I like the sound of this - but, don't understand. Can you share what makes the Bills (other than being darn good) a particularly difficult match up for the Steelers?

Horrible for the Steelers?  Why so?  Curious if your take is different from what I’ve been reading.

Isnt it amazing to see Buddy Nix's 12 year plan come to fruition?

 I remember when he threw an interception against Kansas City and it was returned for like 98 yd for a touchdown. 

But dude.....PETERMAN.
