All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Don't forget Omar Epps. (Did anyone see the House episode where he actually called Epps Mike Tomlin? Good stuff)
And as for hating the Steelers, I've been on board with that since I was a kid. Nothing like growing up with about 100 family members who are die hard Steeler fans. Let's just say that made watching the Bills lose 4 SB's in a row an even more horrible experience watching it with all of them.
Back in the late 1970's the Bills were terrible and just getting around to hiring Chuck Knox. The Steelers came to town and brought about 28,000 fans with them. I was around 18 at the time and remember tailgating with a large number of Steeler fans who couldn't have been nicer. (seriously).
They were the polar opposite of most Pats fans ( GRRRRRRRRRR die ! ) and I'll always remember that. BTW - We did upset the Steelers that day 28-13 (if I remember correctly) and I guess that made it easier.
But from a visiting fans prospective, I see them as the best of the other 31 teams.

Maybe 40 years ago that was the case, but it isn't anymore. They are far worse than any fan base in the NFL right now.
I was at the '04 Steelers home game where we could've clinched the Wild Card.
That was a competitive game and it was 50/50 at BEST in the stands.
I'm selling my tickets - it's gonna be ugly Sunday and I don't feel like putting up with the nonesense despite the strong urge to go just to scream horrible things at the Rapist Sub-Human.

You guys, the solution is so simple. Find the crazy kids who are shooting up the schools and have them shoot people getting off planes from West Africa.
No more school shootings, no more Ebola.
Obama would have thought of this already if he wasn't a pinko commie Nazi queer-loving wetback-loving Kenyan Indonesian Muslim.

Agreed.
Although, I see you are from the Big E, as am I. It is 1000x worse here. I like running into a buddy from high school who is now a Steeler fan, when I remember them being Bills fans.
One big reason that the Steelers are uber annoying is their fans couldn't be more uneducated. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of great Steeler fans, and we have an understanding, but most of them just scream "That's bull****," regardless of what happened on the field.
Not always the case, but I know from experience their female fans are the most annoying ever. There is a woman a few rows behind me that is an annoying Bills fan...she yells at the wrong player every time, but there are legions of bad female fans for the Steelers.
I don't like complaining about the refs, but even to the most objective fans, you have to admit the calls haven't exactly been going our way this year... The Steelers get the the call 98% of the time, and their fans piss and moan about the refs more than any other fan base.
I, like T-Long, grew up surrounded by Steelers fans. My whole family likes them. Around me, the Steelers fans know better than to talk any ****, even though they certainly have a right, but my friends and family respect my Bills obsession and I don't hear a peep.... I know it will be different Sunday, and I am grateful that I will not be drinking, because that would warrant punching some Terrible Towel ****face in the throat.
My cousin will be attending, and I know that he has wiped his ass with at least 4 Terrible Towels...he will be drinking...could be interesting.
The Steelers and their fans (yes, some yinzers overlap with Pens fans, sadly) are a bunch of whiny, spoiled douchebags. And I want nothing more than to destroy them on Sunday. I was actually hoping we'd remain winless until that game and then get our first against them.
