To a tried and true, DIEHARD Steelers fan (yeah, ones that suffered through the 80s, the losing seasons, that suffered through Dallas stealing SB XXX from us), which there are VERY few TRUE diehard Steeler fans, anytime we lose to anybody, it will ALWAYS be a fluke, ESPECIALLY to Cincinnati.

Now, to the millions of "fairweather Steeler fans since '05" that are in their mid to late 20s-up (that were Patriot fans before that), whom I dont even acknowledge as Steeler fans, they will say "the Bengals are just better this year"...or "the Bengals were just the better team that day".
To a TRUE Steelers fan, the statement "the _________<--insert non-Steeler team name here were just the better team" doesnt, and will NEVER apply. Yes, we get angry, we get mad, we get frustrated, and we sometimes say things we dont mean, but thats because losing to anybody, especially the Bengals, Browns, Cowboys, Raiders, and of late the Patriots and Ravens, just bring out the devil in us. So no, the Bengals, even though youve scored more points than us twice this miserable season, are not, and will never be as good as the Steelers. I dont care how many times in a row you beat us. Pittsburgh Steelers and Alabama football mean so much to me. Im not the average fan. Losing any game absolutely tears into me, and thats why I feel like Im a part of that city and that University. Girlfriends cheat on you. Wives divorce you. Dogs die. Cars and trucks break down on you. Your job lays you off. But at the end of the day, I still got the Steelers. Ill always have the Steelers, and Ill always love them.

Bottom line. I would rather be a Steelers fan on a bad day, than a fan of any other team in the NFL on a great day.

That's the way I feel about my Bengals! But with all of our losing so to speak, you ever hear the Bengals fans act the way the Steeler fans are now? The answer is "No"!
You see we have class. We support our Bengals every year, no matter what. See being a Steeler fan is easy, they "always win". I don't know about you, but in life you can't always win. It's how you react to losing that counts. And it's how you react to winning too. The Steeler fans aren't good at either. irateSho
