Steelers at Bengals - Wild Card Game

  • Heretic
    And when push comes to shove, one could say all three fanbases are bitches.

    Pittsburgh has the "we're classy as hell!" attitude while being at least as criminal as any other team. Generally taking a "do as we say, not as we do" stance where shit's cool when they do it, but not so much when it happens to them.

    Cincinnati has the "annoying little brother" attitude where they think they're one of the "big boys" despite failing every single time something important is on the line, leading to the inevitable hissy-fits when they realize they're the only ones who even pretend to take them seriously.

    Cleveland just has this intense hatred of anyone in their division, especially themselves, where they seem resigned to how they can't get it done, so they curse everyone running their franchise and then live vicariously through other teams in the hope they can take out their rivals while concocting fanciful and magical scenarios where the next regime won't be complete fuck-ups.

    Generally, the majority of fans in all 3 cities resemble Al Bundy.

    At least on here, there's some rational fans...

    The butthurt is strong in both fan bases.
    Maybe so but as a Steelers fan I don't care what they do to Burfict. They gave Brady 4 games and granted them back and it but the Steelers in the ass, don't care at all if they allow Burfict to miss nothing. Lewis? Whatever it it's funny. Pacman doesn't deserve any good happenings but I really don't care if he and Burfict both hit the Powerball.

    My team won....that's greatly enjoyable and the other 31 teams is mostly just whatever.

    He's going to get that regardless and it's to the point that when they mention his toughness I think about how much that pisses you guys off and makes me lol.

    Bengals fans - Al Bundy
    Stiller fans - Ted Bundy
    Browns fans - King Kong Bundy

    That is the NFL way. Seriously talk about sportsmanship, concussions, etc. And then...."These two teams hate each other and you know shit'll go down, so let's make it the prime-time, super-duper footballing spectacular for the week!!!!!!! Getcha popcorn and watch the ambulances in action!"

    Bengals now taking over as the primary rival for Pittsburgh. Baltimore could reclaim if they bounce back.

    Ravens better rivalry though because they beat the Steelers often and also when it matters.

    Your description of cleveland is a reach. You could have taken many other angles, but we would equally hate each team in our division if the Browns were the best in the division. We have legitimate reasons to hate each team.

    NBC basically has free reign over their games. NFL can nix them, but the contract makes it tough. Just pointing out that the NFL wouldn't be the ones pushing that to PrimeTime, NBC would.
