Freddie's Dead Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Remember when we used to lob D cells at Bryan Cox when he came out the tunnel flipping off the crowd? Those were the days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Players should not have snowballs thrown at them. It’s dangerous. It makes us look bad. Because X happened a few weeks ago is irrelevant. The fact this simple equation is up for debate is asinine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked as though fans were throwing snowballs at their own players. After the Morris touchdown was the worst. Why are you throwing snowballs at our team to show your love? Its embarassing, stupid, and makes our community look like a philly/cleveland type of thing on a national stage. The consesus at the bar i watched at was the same. Someone even threw a snowball at the nfl network lady during allens post game interview. So now we are throwing snowballs at women?? As a 15yr season ticket holder i wasnt shocked in the least. The truth is half the crowd is there to get into the game, watch football at the highest level, and support the team. The other half is there to prove their fandom by doing look at me kind of stuff. Its beyond weird. The stadium wasn’t 💯 bills fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Every person watching nationwide had their “ inner 15 yr old” laughing their ass off on the snowballs on bills td. then glad it stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you be any more dramatic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow that gets thrown into the air is the same content as the snowballs..........this is low 30 degree snow which anyone from WNY should know is not powder. A guy two rows in front of us threw snow up in the air and hit the ladies in the row right behind them in the face. They were not pleased and it was not "fine". There was much more danger for the fans in the stands than the players on the field but that doesn't matter to the TV fan police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailgateChef Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Bob Jones said: Total, bush league, and a pathetic act to throw snowballs at anytime during the game. Hopefully, anybody who was caught throwing one by stadium staff should have been tossed out immediately. Ironically, after they stopped the game and berated fans for acting like teenagers, it looked like fans were then just throwing them at each other, in the stands. The latter was really more dangerous, as most fans are not wearing helmets in the stands, and taking one to the eye or the side of the head could be very bad. I saw a cop pelted with a snowball while making eye contact with the thrower: all he did was shake his head. It was honestly a bit infuriating because nothing was being done. The throwing in the stands was a lot of throwing into the air. Kind of like Lebron before a game with his chalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security came to yell at her when she put boobs on it, they were cool with the snowman but not the boobs which seemed so dumb. They came back when she smashed it down in celebration and started questioning whether or not she threw the snowman. Man, you run with some dangerous company! 😳 * 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoudyBills Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 2 hours ago, Clark Rotary said: I thought that snowballs aimed at the Dolphins bench were fair game because the Dolphins sat our team in the roasting sun in the game earlier in the year. 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. Was hoping the Bills would get up 3 scores so the fans could have mercilessly pelted those *****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Throwing snowballs was juvenile and it gives the Buffalo area a black eye. I have been to games where fans policed this behavior and it stopped. Night game hay have had something to do with it. I was at the infamous NY Giants- Bills Monday Night Football game. I heard that Cossel was less than impressed by the fans behavior that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were people getting hauled out by police. The stuff getting thrown in the air wasn't chalk dust. Not sure which game you were at.

Yes, ideally there would be no throwing anything that could injure anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one harmlessly threw snow up in the air in good fun resulting in zero injury. But since you saw it go poorly, it must have been that way for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not Philly. I know it was Saturday & fans were drinking, but that was just dopey behavior. We were lucky to not get a penalty. I was at the game and 90% of the throwers were Bills fans...the other 10% were Dolphins fans. If this even matters.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days. I'm certainly old enough to remember the hatred for Bryan Cox and the Miami teams of the late 80's-90s. The current rivalry is getting closer to that level. Just need a few meetings in the playoffs to stoke it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone might have been hurt but I didn't hear of one person needing medical attention because of the snow tossing. My point though is that the people who don't actually attend the games don't have a good perspective. AT ALL. As soon as a few jerks throw snowballs it doesn't matter to the TV fan police what happens to all of the OTHER fans in the stands............"it's fine" if we get hit........we all get what we deserve because we are dumb enough sacrifice comfort, time and money to cheer on the team in person so that the righteous couch potatoes can sit at home, save their money and watch the game in their jammies.........and instead it's only about how the people on the field are affected.
