As a fan of the team that provided said embarrassment, I know better than trash-talk. In a way, I'm impressed with the Eagles coaching staff. So many times in the past they would "play down to the level" of teams with losing records. For once, they played like a team with a winning record should play against a 3-6-1 team.
We may not be prime time. But at the very least our rivers don't catch on fire...think about that for a minute...the freaking RIVER caught on FIRE. Cleveland

I was flapping my yap all day. The Steelers losing to the Jets certainly helps put some salt in the wounds. Luckily I will be safely back in Michigan by the time Cleveland screws it up.SOLIDLY in the first spot. For what? 36 hours now? Don't worry. The Brown-eyes will be back to the bottom where they belong before you know it. If it's brown, flush it down! Seriously. You are aware every team in the division has 6 (ish) wins, right? I wouldn't go pounding my chest just yet. Especially knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that on the odd chance the Brown-eyes or Bungholes make it to the playoffs, you berkeleytards will blow it in the first round.
And that there is some proper smack-talk. Well done, sir. 
My mom and her whole side of the family are from Pittsburgh for at least 3 generations that I'm aware of. Been rooting for the Pirates, Penguins and Steelers for as long as I've been into sports.
As a lifelong Steelers fan I have no illusions about my team. After they beat Baltimore, I was upbeat about that but I have no doubt in them to fall on thier faces in spectacular fashion. Car and point: last Sunday. Todd Hailey is an idiot and needs to be taken out back behind the wood shed and put out of his and our misery.
I can also understand why people dont like them. When the Steelers are doing well the bandwagoners come out and get loud and obnoxious. The sake can be said for loyal fans often as well. I just stick to my Polamalu jersey and Steelers beer mug on game days and maybe my hat every so often and take solace in the fact that I'm not a Raiders or Cowboys fan.
Despite everything, I still haven't given up on our season. Look at the NFC South. No teams above .500. We are half a game out of first place at 3-6-1. It's as good a year as any for us to suck, maybe we can still make the playoffs if we scrape it together late.

Admit?!? I called it weeks in advance. The bengals are not very good this year, and I'm not really sold on new coordinators.
That being said, no one really stand out as dominant in the division. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
So nice work on that win (Dalton even gift wrapped it for you)
And congrats on sucking less than usual this year.

I'm still bitter; I bet my uncle a 6-pack last season that the browns would win 6 games.
He didn't even have the courtesy to share.
I am from San Diego.

My 10 year old son idolizes Peyton Manning. His 7 year old brother has chosen Cam Newton as his football hero. I try to convince him to find someone else to look up to. I'm sorry, I just don't see him as a good quarterback. Awesome athelete? Yes. Good quarterback? No way. Poor mechanics, questionable decision making (I mean on the field). Monday nights' game was a perfect example. Yes, the rest of the team didn't play well, but Newton made terrible plays and seemed totally disinterested. My bet is that in a few years he's either a journeyman back-up and/or is thought of as a bust.
In reply to Klayfish:
And that gentleman is the curse of being drafted by a garbage team......hell, just think of the world of E36 M3 Trent Richardson would still be in if we hadn't tempted the Brownies with that late 1st rd draft pick(that we knew they would waste like always) 
On a somewhat strange note, I'm in the middle of the 2016 season on Madden's franchise mode.....and the Bears have Dez Bryant, Demaryious Thomas, and Hakeem Nicks......and they are still 0-7 in simulation land

Tell these supposed "fans" I'll gladly pay $10 + shipping for their Stillers gear. I've never known a "fair weather" Stillers fan. I have, living in North Georgia, rocking my E36 M3, heard a godzillion times "Oh, my (aunt, uncle, mom, dad, friend, dog) is from the 'burgh is a HUGE (crazy, whatever) Stillers fan," to which my response is always "Is there any other kind?"
I was born in 1978, so I missed the heyday. But I suffered through Mark Malone, Bubby Brister, Neil O'Donell, berkeleyin Kordell, Tommy Boy, and now "Rapelisberger," and I ain't about to stop now.
I HAVE witnessed all the fair weather Dolphins, Broncos, Suckaneers, and now Atlanta "fans" in my time, and I'm THOROUGHLY looking forward to watching the ATL Mudbirds get berkeleying stomped live, at home, with turrible towels a million waving on December 14, and fully anticipate more Stillers fans than sorry ass Mudbirds "fans." And yes, you can bet your berkeleying ass I'll be a 'loud, obnoxious," towel-waiving motherberkeleyer.
And to their credit: I know a bunch of die-hard Browns and Bengals fans, which keeps the whole thing really fun. Respect to them. Ravens "fans?" Never met one. Perhaps all their fans are either dead or in jail.

I am a big Patriots fan, HOWEVER, there are two types of Pats fans: the kind who blindly follow in the path of Belichick, and those who are like Ramsey from last year's Budweiser commercial who constantly E36 M3 on the team for good luck. I am the latter. My friends and my wife hate me for it. The true Pats fans are the most cynical fans in all of sports.
I have to say, earlier this year, things were not looking good. I though Brady was going to get traded for a typical Belichick value package and we would be crap for the rest of the year. Then, the team lost some big defensive players. But they have only lost two games so far and have somehow flipped a switch that turned them into a complete juggernaut on both sides of the ball. I love it.
I am a believer that defense wins games. Gunslinging got them nowhere, so it's refreshing to see the defense playing like the team that won the Super Bowl 3 times in 4 years. I am hoping they can win it one more time with #12.
BTW, if you are a fan of football, follow Tom Brady on social media. Somewhere along the way this year he decided to just be ridiculous. He (or his PR staff) has been posting all sorts of embarrassing crap all season. It is fantastic.
I'm a default Steelers fan. Married a Pittsburgh Girl. I actually pull for them Brownies because I didn't grow up here and could care less about the rivalry.
berkeley you, Pam.

He was trolling Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett yesterday, especially Mallett. He posted a pic of him as a rookie carrying Brady and Hoyer's gear to the locker room.
Both Hoyer and Mallett were Brady's backups, and I'm secretly rooting for Hoyer this year because I cannot stand Johnny Manziel.

Mediocre to poor teams don't put 53 points on the board, with just one great player.
Rothlisberger has been as a qb, underrated his whole career. When his O-line is actually working he is amazing. And when the O-line is on vacation he still figures out a way. Now their defense just can't hang.
Can you imagine the Steelers record if Ben wasn't making fantastic throws to his great receiving core?

It was a good ride.
Im not a browns fan; however, I think hoyer is underrated. Their games are always on so I watch while doing whatever in the early afternoon and his receivers are offensive. If they could catch that whole team would look better. As Charlie Brown would say "good grief".
