Just sit on it?!! It really didnt look like much snow was removed from seating areas pregame, so if you didnt want to sit on a snow pile or were annoyed at that, I have no problem in people who paid top $ for their seats showing their displeasure with snow balls! In addition, that was sweet Karmic payback for Miami and their broiler heat stadium in September! Maybe the NFL should insist on tenting in Miami in September and then we can talk about snowball protection in Buffalo! No excuse for throwing anything on the field. If Patriots fans did this to the Bills we would all have nothing but righteous indication. I was in section 121 and my daughters were each hit by drunken morons throwing snowballs while trying to watch a game. As far as snow on the seats, most people just swept the snow to the floor but virtually no one sat except at half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad had to rescue us from the cop station. Fortunately, dad was even more of a hooligan in his day, so he laughed it off. https://apnews.com/article/ac745813b0237724cbbcfcc831887979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure , but I was in Hammers till 2:15 and it was snowing harder than it snowed during the Colts game. Based on my recollection of brushing my car off, I am gunna say 4 inches in those two hours. traffic was brutal. Abbot was still crawling at 2AM. Many stories on twitter saying they left right after game and didn’t get to hotels near airport till 2:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing has a nice Heat Miser Cold Miser dynamic that seems fair to me. But I didn't see too much of the quid pro quo aspect mentioned in the media - did I miss it? Just to be transparent I was reprimanded a few times by authority types about my snowball throwing in 4th and 5th grade but have been clean for the last 50+ years - I always thought that was about average for growing up in Buffalo. two wrongs do not make a right among other reasons why this is simply a bogus move. no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These idiots embarrassed the team, the fans and the city on national TV. Everyone I've talked to since the game that are not Bills fans thought the snowballs were hilarious. You guys acting like the world is looking down upon Bills Mafia now are being dramatic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During one break i turned around and see this 20 something kid about 15 rows up packing a snow ball and I point at him, mouthed " mofo , you throw that i am coming for ya"..being 60 he kinda looked at me and was weighing his options. Guy who sit's 2 rows behind about is i am guessing 27. .6"2 and prolly 240.. he was pissed too and he turned round, pointed at the guy..and said" I am coming too brother".

DasNootz Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I can remember pelting the broncos bus with snowballs in 2005 and the police escort as well....oh to be young, drunk and invincible. I agree that it's not part of the game, and have no issue with security picking out the 100's of violators and kicking them out. That said, to expect that it won't happen or to penalize a team is foolish. If the league has an issue with safety, the course should be to stop play and/or pull players from the field. After that the, crowd will enforce itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story about someone hurling 20 lb ice boulders from an overpass is hardly comparable to a couple mischievous teens tossing soft snowballs from fresh fallen snow at slow passing cars on a local village street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethro_tull Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) i do like how in typical buffalo neighborhood style fans were creating their own little arsenal of ammo ready to fire in rapid succession.
