The Lions' Pride

You also haven't dealt with Andy Reid for the past 10+ years either, haha.

The only thing I've gotten from this thread is that people truly have no idea what there talking about when they use the term "bandwagon fan". Because so far, no one has used it correctly.

LOL -- Clueless. That may be true for Philly fans, but this is the worst Steeler team in LONG time, and they're still 50% of the crowd in Dallas.

cry me a river.... nothing special about Steeler fans... not being different than other fan bases is not a bad thing... Their fans jump off the team as fast as any and get on a good team as fast as any

"cry me a river?" Huh? Nobody is crying. It is what it is. Steeler fans dominate, even when our team sucks.

There was a very large Eagles contingent in Tampa last week despite how much we suck. You can't compare 7-6 in playoff contention to 4-9 and hopeless. The context of regime exhaustion and apathy should also be considered. The Eagles still drew well for a lot of years in the 90s when they flat out stunk. The Steelers and Packers have the best traveling fan bases in the league, but Philly isn't too far behind. Bandwagon towns are places like Tampa, Miami, and Phoenix.

I had a feeling this thread was going to turn into another "My river is longer than yours" debate.

So because you want you're coach fired because you're team is 4-10 makes you a bandwagon fan. Ok makes sense

I am a Steelers fan I can tell you a lot has to do with the moving away from western PA since the steel mills left but it is still pretty impressive.

TIFWIW, but a large portion of Dallas's fanbase is lower-class families, and the ticket prices at JerryWorld are much higher than they were at Texas Stadium.

They may have fallen over the past year, but my freshman year they were significantly higher than they were before, and many fans didn't think it was worth it to pay what they used to for 15 or 20 yard line seats on the lower level to get upper deck seats in the corner of the endzone.

All those Steeler fans didn't equal a win, too bad.

I never said Eagles fans were bandwagon fans, or bad fans, or fair-weather fans, or didn't travel well (regardless of record). I really don't know. Just an FYI -- Since you quoted my post as if you were replying to it.

There's a reason you're called redneck nation...figure it out. Ugliest fan base in the country. That's why you don't have cheerleaders...can't find 20 girls with a full set of teeth and weigh less than 300 pounds

The fact you mentioned cheesesteaks shows you know very little about Philadelphia & you're going by nothing more than the national misconception.

I call shenanigans.

??? We played a practice squad guy at CB, and a 7th rd draft pick at RT... We are the most injured team in the league... We are not a bad team... Woodley is still not playing. I could go on and on... but we are a few starters away from winning- a lot.
