When I was at a tail gate talking with my Uncle I was alarmed to see so

many Steeler Fans. Pittsburg is over 7 hours away by car, IMO people

who are living in charlotte should be supporting the panthers.

What is even more annoying is that all these fans who were near us

were doing this all game:

Getting up to go purchase Beer (obstructing my view / making me have to stand up so they can shamble by) > Coming back to their seats (obstructing my view again)> drinking beer > getting up 20 min later to go to the

bathroom and purchase more beer (obstructing my view again).

The Silliest part was that there were 2 guys who did this who by the 3rd

quater they were so tanked that they got lost and spent part of the

third quater wandering around several sections for 10 minutes and could

not find their seats. Finally they sat down in a section 3 sections to our

right.

I still had fun at the game today, even though the panthers lost.

One thing I think would help is if the CITY took MORE ownership in the team.

In many away cities you see the home city celebrating the team "away" from the stadium. Its a constant reminder of the teams support, and this alone I am sure helps those who live in the city feel like they are a part of the team.

Charlotte could do a better job IMO..

Wow...really?

Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you HAVE to have a loyalty to the teams in the city, or even the state for that matter.

And having to stand up to let people pass is typical...not sure why you're complaining about it. I'm sure it takes you all of 10 seconds to stand up and sit back down.

Get over it.

Its sarcasm about panther fans, I think we are improving. Anyone ever been to Arrowhead stadium? Those fans are vicious, I had a chance to see them play the Bills during the Jim Kelley days on Monday Night Football. I was in the Army at the time and attended the game with a hard core Bills fan, thought we would need a military escort to the parking lot. Final score Chiefs - 35 Bills - 6, experience priceless!

Steelers fans are quite literally all over the country due in large part to the mass exodus of blue collar workers after Pittsburgh's economic collapse decades back. Their fans have a very strong presence almost everywhere they play. I bet a lot of the Steeler fans at that game were actually from the Carolinas or Virginia, etc and not Pittsburgh. Add in that it's the last preseason game and tickets are very easy to come by, and there you go.

The Steelers have one of the most widespread fanbases in the league, they are literally a nation of fans that will go to great lengths to watch Steelers games. Many people criticize them but they're some of the most dedicated fans in all of sports.

Hah! It's easy to be a "dedicated" Steelers fan. They always win. They pick up bandwagon fans every year in every city. That's why they are all over the country.

Maybe the most "overrated" fans in all of sports. I'll buy that.

      Reviewing the All-22: Week 1 @ JAX

      By Navy_football · Posted

      DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem.

      This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.
