Damn, @SUNY_amherst, if only those pesky sabres would build a dome they wouldn't have had to reschedule!

Hopefully we don't have any Bills fans replicating this one in Chicago...

 

Different view showing what happened leading up to it and apparently it's a Bears-Packers game not Eagles...

 

 

So when I see things like this, I have to ask: Where is the security, and why both of them are not immediately escorted out of the stadium, if not charges?
 

This is the type of thing that makes it so unenjoyable for the normal decent person. This type of stuff does nothing to enhance my $200+ experience.

Wow bills leaving Thursday vs Friday 

 

I bet they’ll have to bunk down in Chicago after the game.  Flying back to Buffalo in those winds and whiteout conditions will not be possible Sat night.

It's crazy to me that they think they're going to play this game on schedule.

If the NFL weren't rating whores they would have moved this game to Monday night by now.  Player safety, fan safety.....an afterthought

There's also just a complete lack of respect for what a disaster snow conditions can be.  I'm growing frustrated about these stories about holiday travel that don't explicitly say "Just don't go anywhere or you may die."

wonder why they didn't postpone/move the ice bowl back in the day. oh wait, that was back when weather didn't stop players from going out there and playing in the elements.

Is it better as time marches on to have more respect or less respect for hazardous travel conditions?  Speaking as someone with a loved one who's died from it, your assertion that people used to be tougher and better means less than nothing to me.

There’s a lot more to it than that 

[Since1981]

Much less about game itself!

Thu pm flying a plane into O’hare in 40 mph windy snow.  Then Fri BUF 60 mph gusts. Have to leave before both Thu Chi and Fri Buf.

There was no wind for the ice bowl. Clear sunny day.

sorry for your loss. I realize the safety concerns and respect them. I was relating to the field of play. maybe they should change the season. say, from april-sept and avoid winter altogether? then there would be much less concern for safety and games would not have to be moved/postponed. also, maybe, eventually all games will be played in domes although a dome would not of helped buffalo this past nov anymore then if one were in chitown.

That's with Josh, without him they have 3, Green Bay (104), Cleveland (164), and New England (112).

Yes, and same with every other NFL team -their QB rushing yards count as rushing yards too

 

The Bills are still the only team in the NFL to rush for 100 yards every game
