Anyone else sick and tired of Squeeler Nation?

[Shzm13]

Im starting to hate them just about as much as Cowboys fans.


Goodness, these guys are just as big bandwagon hoppers as Dallas fans and they claim that they're not.

 

[LukesDad88]

Sorry to hear you feel that way.

 

[slanidrac16]

Nope. Let them talk all they want. See, what they don't realize is God is a Cardinal fan this year and there ain't nothin they can do about it.

 

[Shzm13]

Dont beat yourself up,

but do tell that "nation" of yours to be less annoying.

 

[Gee!]

Sorry to hear you feel that way.

Oh shut the hell up.. Everywhere on this board I see you making snide little remarks like this..

 

[arthurracoon]

the steeler fans that have come on this board have been pretty cool

 

[football karma]

maybe relative to the majority of Eagle fans who were here last week they dont seem so bad.....


I will say this -- at last year's Cards / Steelers, they were giving it out like nobody's business prior to the game----and then exited in a big hurry when the Cards went up 21-7 with 4 mins to play in the game. When the Cards clinched the game with a 1:30 to play, I looked around and they were all gone. For all the build up about what great fans they were, I couldnt beleive how quickly they bailed.

Agreed, the Eagles fans and Hepcat were much more annoying than any of the Steeler fans I have seen post here. That isn't to say there aren't numerous Steeler idiots out there, they just haven't bothered to post here.

 

[SteelCityMom]

Hey you guys should try dealing with Ravens fans! The hate that spews forth from them for the Steelers and anyone from Pittsburgh is amazing. Philly fans are horrible too, I feel for you guys having to deal with them for a whole week. They are horrible football and hockey fans.

We got the same thing from Chargers fans and of course Ravens fans this year as well...I hate when any other teams fans go onto another teams MB and starts beating their chest and talking a bunch of smack. It's just in poor taste IMO. I hate it just as much when a Steeler fan does too, makes me cringe.

 

[Sandan]

Oh we have had a few choice steelers fans post.

But ASFN is more actively moderated that most message boards.

It's not the intent. That's the problem with message boards. Your own mood can affect the way you interpret the language, whereas in person you can tell from tone of voice. Four different people can interpret the same words on a message board four different ways, all depending on their POV.

Interpret these however you like.

Ravens' and Eagles' fans do both suck but Steeler fans aren't much better in popular opinion. The difference is that Raven fans are 99% white trash, while Philly fans are drunk guidos who like to fight and Steeler fans are typically either bandwagoners or stuck up pricks who think their team is always atop the world.

Case in point: Last weekend I took my kids and the wifey up to my Dad's house in PA to watch the game against the Eagles. Two of his better friends are Eagles' fans and they chose to come over my Dad's only before and after the game because they knew they would be a--es during it and didn't want to offend. Meanwhile his other buddy who is a Steeler fan stayed over and was a dick the entire time. I have met this guy before and he was always as nice as could be. I guess the Steelers just bring the prick out of him.

Not sayting you are either of these at all, but I do think it is fair to say that this is how the Steeler fan based is looked at by many. Just like most Cards' fans dont exist. Every team (except Dallas )has some great fans, but every team has lousy ones as well. Luckily we haven't been attractive enough to the common fairweatherer yet to bring in much bum fans.

I can understand your point...I don't think I'd much enjoy having to watch football with another teams fan myself either. I've never really had to, grew up and live in Pittsburgh, so my whole family (including the out of state family) are all Steelers fans, so I never had to be put into a situation like that. At football games where my seats are, there's never really been any opposing fans near me.

The only thing I can base my opinion off of really are message boards and hockey games (Flyers fans in Pittsburgh are the absolute PITS!)

I have no doubt that there are a ton of egotistical bandwagon Steelers fans that seem to feed off of trolling MB's....believe me, it annoys me as much as it does you. I think sports tends to bring out the a** in many men (and a few women), I'll never understand it though lol.

Nah. Each team has it's good and bad fans. I've browsed through some Steelers forums, and see the same thing. The Steelers fans that have posted on this site (I haven't seen nidan's "choice" selection) seem to be pretty good football fans in general.

I remember a Steelers site I was going through - and their response to everytime a Card fan brought up a point (regardless of if it was valid or not) was "You haven't faced our defense! It's #1!" - which, I thought, was a mental quip to avoid thinking.

Which gets me onto another subject - what is the real difference between the #3 and the #1 defense? How different, in terms of stats, is the Steelers from the Eagles (the reason I go with stats is because the styles of play and obviously the players and coaching staff are different, and I'm really looking for end results here - hence the stats).

Note - these are Postseason stats, and are averaged per game (3 for the Eagles, 2 for the Steelers):

Category Eagles / Steelers
Opponent TOP 30.45 / 25.10
1st Downs by Opponent: 17.6 / 14
3rd Down Conversions 37% / 32%
Offensive Yards Allowed: 325.6 / 244
Rushing Yards Allowed 129.3 / 44
Passing Yards Allowed: 196.3 / 200
FG Allowed: 1.3 / 0.5
TD Allowed: 2 / 2.5
Sacks: 1 / 3.5
Int 1 / 2
Turnover Ratio -1 / 5

Those are some good postseason stats, I hadn't looked any of those up yet really. Some are pretty similar but I didn't realize the Steelers rushing yards allowed stats were that low. They look fairly equal besides that and the TO ratio.

When you look at the reg. season stats though there are some that are pretty close and then others that are glaringly different. My main argument about the difference between the Eagles D and the Steelers D throughout the season is that the Steelers D was far and away more consistent, only having allowed one game where they allowed an offense to gain 300+ yards total (to the Titans after the division was already sealed up and after coming off of a brutal 5 game stretch).

Here are some of the key stats IMO though:

Eagles/Steelers
Points allowed: 289 (18.1 PG)/ 223 (13.9 PG)
Yards per game: 274.3/ 237. 2
Pass yards per game: 182.1/ 159.6
Rush yards per game: 92.2/ 80.2
Yards per play 4.4/ 3.9
Fumbles and fumbles lost: 26(14 lost)/ 22(9 lost)

Oh and I agree with your point about some fans only using the Steelers #1 D as a reason why they think the Steelers are going to win, it becomes a tired argument, even for a Steelers fan. I'm very proud of our defense too, but in no way do I think they are the only reason the Steelers can win this game.

This recent success is all new to you guys. And to the one who stated that Steelers fans are mostly bandwagon, i wish i couldve shown you video footage of the turnout of fans in San Diego and Denver over the last few years ive attended games. Even back in 96 here in Tempe. The perfect example of bandwagon is right here in your backyard. Im a Steeler fan right in the belly of all the nonsense. Ive got old women here that havent the slightest idea who LaVoy is. They couldnt even tell who what Larry Centers was or whom Eric Swann was. And you can hear these folks touting the same talkin points over and over......."Its our time........we're shocking the world baby !!!" But when you ask em what happened vs Tavaris Jackson ....."what ? I dunno who that is but we're gonna kick Steeler but.......shock the world".

Its a laugh......huge laugh. So dont even tell me about bandwagon. Remember, if it were for a few choice corporations in this town buying up blocks of tickets that Falcon game wouldnt have been televised locally.

Theres your bandwagon..............ride responsibly.

 

[Gee!]

Who is LaVoy? I dunno either..

LaBoy. Way to show off your knowledge. Atleast that explains why you are a bandwagoner. Now I just wanna know why you're so damn sensative about it.

Dam you CFD.. Your not riding responsibily!!!!

 

[conraddobler]

The Steeler fans have been mostly nice, condecending in cases but not really that bad.

It's not that I hate anyone, other than Cowboy fans, not even Eagle fans.

It's that I just want my team to win and people who obviously want my team to lose so theirs can win piss me off, that's about the truth of the matter as far as I'm concerned.

I don't really want to debate much or to socialize with them I just want us Cardinal fans to enjoy watching our team win the SuperBowl and only one team can do that, all others by extension become the enemy.

I had to read this a second time to grasp what a pansy you are.

So you're laughing at old ladies who ont bother to learn the name of every brand new free agent? Are you just jealous that they had the fortitude to stick with their team during rough times and not just run to a winner to try and compensate for their own inferiority complexes and lack of self esteem? So what is it? Are you short, fat, bald and ugly or just hung like a field mouse?
