My calculations seem to point to physics working in our favor and the sheer mass of our team will produce enough energy to get that ball to the end zone over and over.

My point was that the 49ers have been here taunting us all week and no one got violent. No one got beer thrown at them. None of that happened. I provided this example to say that if they can show up for a game that’s going to decide the Super Bowl and not have all these violent things you are talking about happen to them, then so can you.

I get it. We are talking about the city that created Mr.Rodgers. If you are looking for a hug from the opposing team during playoffs, Philadelphia isn’t it. I’ve heard your point. You think Philadelphia is a violent hell hole that no one should ever go to and no child should ever witness. All of Philadelphia fans are meanies who will beat you up and steal your lunch money. Doesn’t seem like anyone is going to change your mind and that maybe you are the reason our slogan is no one like us, we don’t care. Have fun not being in the Super Bowl this year.

Edit: you know I was never defending beer can throwing or any acts of violence carried out by few Eagles fans. It was the first line of my first response. So at this point you’re just making wild generalizations and assumptions to my point that all Eagles fans are not like that. I’m truly sorry you feel unsafe wearing your Steelers jersey in Philadelphia.

This “news” piece that you linked actually made me laugh. That was scare tactics 101. Also that’s the same Vikings playoff game. They replayed the same video you linked earlier. Shit got rowdy for sure and wasn’t great but we are FAR FAR from the only team to act like that. I haven’t seen a single video like that about last nights game? Maybe I just haven’t seen them.

I would like to reiterate. I love Pittsburgh. I speak highly of it to anyone I meet. I root for the Steelers when the eagles are out.

Here’s fromlast night.

You’re right though. Hostile.

Edit to add some links.

You’re telling me if someone walked through a tailgate at the Steelers stadium in that exact situation (home game to decide who goes to the Super Bowl) it’s going to be friendly banter and pleasantries? You’re gonna welcome me with open arms and hand me a beer? As I said I don’t defend assholes. We are a passionate group. But the vast majority of us are not like that. Listen, no one’s asking you to root for the eagles.

I will never defend assholes. But every single team has fans that are assholes. The majority of eagles fans are not like that at all. People just love to perpetuate this stereotype. Like most things in life the dumb assholes scream louder than the rest. I’ve been to bars and games with friends wearing Steelers gear and never once have they had beer spilled on them or even been heckled. Most of the time people will go up to them and say oh my grandma is from Pittsburgh.

I have lived in Pittsburgh and I’m from and currently living in Philadelphia. My time in Pittsburgh was spent with people telling me to my face over and over and over how much they hate Philadelphia. They would go out of their way and go on and on. In Philadelphia if you ask people about Pittsburgh, people don’t really have much on an opinion. They’ve either been there or they haven’t. I personally love the city. It’s great. We are far more concerned with our neighboring cities shitting on us because we are not NYC or DC.

Just be happy the flyers suck.

Edit to add: our motto is that because everyone loves to hate us. Someone threw a snowball at Santa 30 years ago and we will never live it down.

If they say gel only try getting up and saying thank you but I only want regular and attempt to walk out the door. If they want your business, they may change their tune. If they don’t you save money.
