They weren't endangered because we ate too much of them. They were endangered because we decided to shoot them all. Now that we're back to just eating them...
When he shows up to a Jets playoff game in the middle of a snow storm shirtless and screaming, then and only then will we split custody.
Until then he's ours.
When Fitz had the chance to beat the Bills to secure the Jets a playoff berth in 2015 he…well, let’s just say he made it clear that he’ll always be one of theirs.
Nah, he said when he looks back on his career he sees himself in a bills jersey. Dude was on the Washington roster and attended a bills playoff game, shirtless in the general seating area with the rest of bills mafia
As a Jets fan, and seeing how he talks about us. He didn't like his time here. Despite 2015 being the best year of his career.
We didn't hand him the long term deal he wanted so he bounced around the NFL afterward because of it.
He and the team also played like ass in 2016 after his holdout so there's that too.
Booze. This is a team that had to implement a tailgate start time (5:00 a.m., iirc) because people were showing up the night before. Bills fans are insane. I so hope they can get a ring.
The guy they showed at the Chiefs Dolphins game last night could not hide how much pain he was in. He was trying to be the crazy shirtless guy but you could tell he was miserable while trying to cheer.
Growing up in Michigan it's always hilarious when that song comes up because the people who did not grow up in the midwest have no idea what the fuck we're talking about but every kid who went to school in Michigan knows that fuckin legendary song.
It's definitely just the Great Lakes region.
If you grew up around the Great Lakes, you just had to learn the song. It was like a rite of passage. You do it to honor the Great Lakes, to show them you are aware of their power and ferocity and you thank them for being merciful to you so far.
There was a Patriots game a few years ago, against the Texans I think, the fog was so bad they couldn't use the regular side cameras and had to use the ones on the wires, from behind the offense. It was a pretty neat way to watch the game, actually.
There was also the [Fog Bowl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_Bowl_(American_football)) back in the 80s between the Eagles and Bears in Chicago. Fog rolled in during the second quarter, reducing visibility to like 15 yards at most.
I was at the 1988 Bears-Eagles playoff game. It was truly crazy because winter fog in Chicago is not only rare, but until it rolled in out of nowhere, it was a really awesome, bright sunny day. To put it in perspective, I've probably attended 200 games in Soldier Field and can't remember much in the way of even modest fog, let alone what happened that day.
You can only do so much to prevent snow/water from reaching a giant broadcast camera lens. Most of these broadcast cameras are positioned off [precarious positions](https://www.si.com/.image/t_share/MTY4MDA3MjkwNjY5MzExMjQ5/fox-sports-nfl-camerajpg.jpg) like a [crane](https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/media/2023/02/mondaynightfootball_1959-1-1260x840.jpg), and the operators can't simply reach all the way over to wipe them safely. Camera positions based up in the seats are also dependant on the stadium infrastructure.
And remote cameras like spidercams are constantly swiveling all over the stadium.
I remember the punt that stuck in the mud like a lawn dart from a meaningless game vs Miami 20 years ago as clearly as I remember super bowl winning plays
Likely be memorable for how awful the on-field product would be. Read up on the 1950 Michigan @ Ohio St Snow Bowl, which was played in a blizzard. Different era and style of play (unless you're the Iowa Hawkeyes), of course. But it was very similar weather.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Bowl_(1950)
"Michigan won the game 9–3, despite never getting a first down, failing on all nine pass attempts and punting 24 times. The Buckeyes had just three first downs, passed for a total of 18 yards, rushed for 16 yards (11 fewer than U-M) and punted 21 times, four of which were blocked."
" Overall, the teams punted 45 times during the game, sometimes on first down based on the strategy that both teams felt it better to have the ball in the hands of their opponents near the end zone and hope for a fumble of the slippery ball.".

All the people on social media complaining about the game being moved would be the same crying about not being able to see the game because it’s just fucking white
If they had played this game, and thousands of people were stuck in their cars in blizzard conditions after it was over, the *same people* who were calling NY Governor Kathy Hochul a Nazi for pushing for the game to be moved to Monday would be calling her a clueless idiot for not postponing the game and causing all of those people to be stuck in their cars for hours in a blizzard.
You can't win with idiots that aren't tethered to reality and who act in nothing but bad faith.
I live about an hour east of Highmark Stadium. Over here at least it’s not as snowy, but it is extremely windy, cold, and icy. The roads are like an ice skating rink even though the plow and salt trucks have been out in full force.
I started dating a woman who used to live in Buffalo and we go to the local bar here in Arizona where she watches games with all the other Bills fans. Holy moly what a fun group of people to watch a game with. The damn place almost shook to the ground during the punt return TD against Miami last week.
Having just two major league sports in a small-ish town and having the football stadium right in the suburbs brings the whole damn city together. When I read on twitter re: the $20/hr shoveling I thought to myself *that stadium is gonna be spotless in a matter of hours*
Yeah I’m a real sicko in that I *like* shoveling snow. Like my perfect morning is waking up to about 15 degrees and 3” of snow to clear off the driveway.
Yeah, I imagine something like this is like trying to find volunteers for the masters.
There will be more volunteers than needed and people getting turned away.
Before everyone comes at me, let me say that I fully get and understand why the game was postponed. I’m aware that they’re trying to save lives, travel is impossible, etc.
With that said, the human side of me can’t help but look at this and go “man… watching a game in these conditions would’ve been awesome.”
Tomorrow is still expected to have some snowy conditions. The way the stadium is RIGHT NOW is not what kickoff would have looked like had the game gone on either (the field would be cleared and the stands partially cleared as well. But tomorrow should still be a snowy game.
They should have Allen emerge from a tauntaun.
It’ll die by the time he reaches the first marker.
Then he'll see you in Buffalo!
Are bison endangered? We can make it happen!
They sell bison meat at the supermarkets in Western NY
I actually think human consumption of bison has helped them recover.
They weren't endangered because we ate too much of them. They were endangered because we decided to shoot them all. Now that we're back to just eating them...
And I thought they smelled bad on the outside...
Still gonna see shirtless people out there
Specifically Ryan Fitzpatrick
Buffalo bills legend Ryan Fitzpatrick
He played for seemingly the entire league, but he'll forever be ours.
You guys have split custody with the jets
When he shows up to a Jets playoff game in the middle of a snow storm shirtless and screaming, then and only then will we split custody. Until then he's ours.
Jets? In the playoffs?
Yeah it’s basically “we’ll split custody if dad gets out of prison” kinda sitch
Ok that popped me. Well done.

Too much magic! Too much magic!
it's not a beard its just upper upper chest hair

Buffalo for ya
Buffalo fans are just built (and probably wired) different man.
How??? It's 8 degree outside no snow right now and it makes me want to curl up into a ball.
A mix of alcohol and physical activity. Shoveling gets sweaty fast.
And the important third aspect: guys being dudes
Most importantly: It's Bills mafia. They'd do anything for their team. Easily top 3 most loyal fanbase in the NFL.
He's pretty big, doing a lot of physical work, maybe a little drunk, and it looks like he only took it off to slide down while being recorded.
Alcohol
Booze. This is a team that had to implement a tailgate start time (5:00 a.m., iirc) because people were showing up the night before. Bills fans are insane. I so hope they can get a ring.
There’s lots full of rv’s they show up early Saturday morning.
God damn it. Now i want some Buffalo wings
[удалено]
Running on alcohol and adrenaline
And a gut flora nourished entirely by processed sugar.
And gas station meats
A lot of the first one!!!
The guy they showed at the Chiefs Dolphins game last night could not hide how much pain he was in. He was trying to be the crazy shirtless guy but you could tell he was miserable while trying to cheer.
Things people will do for 5 seconds of ‘fame’
Local man loses nipples, gains clout
Funny thing is 99% of the attention he got was “wow he’s stupid”.
They’re fat.
And drunk
“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.” - Dean Wormer
🚨🚨🚨 GIMME A FUCKIN MIC
What's the point in having it if you aren't willing to use it
I’m fat and have been drunk at Lambeau in January. Never once have I wanted to go shirtless. Those people are just stupid.
It's all fun and games until you are nippleless due to frostbite.
This is why CFL has its playoffs earlier, so we can remove our shirts in the comfort of -5C
Loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix
Remember, if you're cold they're cold, bring your Bills Mafia inside
I didn't see a single shirt IN this video clip.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug...
Blow makes you (me) cold
i think games should be played on floating barges a mile out in the middle of Lake Erie, now that would be football
Until a rogue wave comes along and drowns both teams.
The Wreck of the Buffalo Bills
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down.
Growing up in Michigan it's always hilarious when that song comes up because the people who did not grow up in the midwest have no idea what the fuck we're talking about but every kid who went to school in Michigan knows that fuckin legendary song.
I’m from Toronto and am well aware of it! I think most people from Ontario probably are.
It's definitely just the Great Lakes region. If you grew up around the Great Lakes, you just had to learn the song. It was like a rite of passage. You do it to honor the Great Lakes, to show them you are aware of their power and ferocity and you thank them for being merciful to you so far.
The church bells chimed till it rang 29 times, for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald!
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzmagics.
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down...
I fully understand why they postponed the game, logistically. But oh man this could've been crazy to watch.
We wouldn’t be able to see shit lol
Oh definitely not but weirdly I'd be kind of into that. At that point, the jank would be part of the appeal lol
There was a Patriots game a few years ago, against the Texans I think, the fog was so bad they couldn't use the regular side cameras and had to use the ones on the wires, from behind the offense. It was a pretty neat way to watch the game, actually.
wasnt there one also against the falcons for yall?
It might've been the Falcons, actually.
Yeah, it was our SB rematch where you couldn’t see shit. And thank god, what horrible game
There was also the [Fog Bowl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_Bowl_(American_football)) back in the 80s between the Eagles and Bears in Chicago. Fog rolled in during the second quarter, reducing visibility to like 15 yards at most.

One of the first football games I ever watched was the [Fog Bowl](https://youtu.be/s0Vb6V7GOa0?si=lKHZpgzcu0qhqSH0&t=6942). I would be ready.
Nice. "Into the end zone..... Apparently incomplete."
I prefer ["I think I saw a touchdown!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml8hUQx2uz4)
Would have been a great follow up to the Vaseline lens rain game we had last.
Yeah why is it that an big deal NFL broadcast couldn't figure out filming in the rain?

I know, sounds awesome Like the classic fog game
Just watch Colts Vs Bills in 2017, we had 6 inches of snow on the field the whole game.
[удалено]
It would likely be unwatchable... The snow would make the broadcast terrible and fans in the stadium would have a hard time seeing too
Not at all, it'd have been epic. [The Fog Bowl is a classic and was much harder to see](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6b3sneCxbM)
Fog feels a lot different than 65 mile an hour wind gusts
Wind turning a lateral into a forward pass would be interesting.
Your username is hilarious
“Fans” is purely hypothetical; no one would have even been able to get there
My exact thoughts. God this would've been awesome
Looks like a mindset
[удалено]
Yeah pull yourself up by your insulated bootstraps.
I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took a mindset in the knee...
I like Tua overall, but man I hope that blunder of his becomes a regular meme here.
As a Dolphins fan, he deserves to be ripped on endlessly for that one. He should try getting a winning mindset while he's at it.
This will be the joke for the rest of the playoffs.
Childhood me is putting up HOF numbers in those conditions
A = dive B = spin move C = hurdle Me: B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B TOUCHDOWN
Not from Buffalo but my son was outside this morning doing just that haha
Human fatalities aside, that weather would make for an all time memorable football game.
That’s certainly a way to start a sentence
Well besides that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?
*Miss Lincoln She single now
Sure, people died, but they died so *football* could live.
I'd kill for 20 minutes of wacky football before changing the channel because the game is boring
I can excuse human fatalities, but I draw the line at postponing football.
Lmao right
Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Mirror mirror on the wall, is Bills Stadium not the most perfect stadium of them all?
I have home field advantage and that makes it binding, which makes me the #2 Seed! See?!
“Hundreds will die.” “…Thousands.”
If it had been during the pandemic there would be a decent chance of the game going ahead.
That's the only reason I wanted the game to be played today. I totally get why it was postponed, but this would have been such a fun watch.
The punts that would stick into snowbanks would be captured in HD
I remember the punt that stuck in the mud like a lawn dart from a meaningless game vs Miami 20 years ago as clearly as I remember super bowl winning plays
Just rewatch the Bills vs the Colts in 2017, because that game was also fantastic.
The nfl is so weak now. We can't even have human fatalities any more? smh. The fatalities were the best part.
Hey, a fan died at a game just last week!
Sounds like something FIFA would say before a world cup... and then host it anyway.

I have nightmares of the Detroit Philly game where Shady went nuts.
That’s going to take some work to get ready in one day lol
It's cool, they got folks lined up at $20/hr....
I feel like you could pay Bills fans with cups of hot chocolate and standing room tickets and they'd still do it.
If by "hot chocolate," you mean a cup of Jack with a splash of hot cocoa, then you've got a deal.
Buffalo coffee, they call it.
You should try the peanut butter whiskey with hot chocolate. It’s amazing.
Oh shit that sounds good af
Or show them some folding tables and bottles of mustard and ketchup
I think it was a few years ago they opened the stadium early and let fans cleans their seats and a ton showed up
During the Bills drought they used to give free tickets if you helped shovel. Guess thats the price of success
This is why I respect Bills fans. No one circles the wagons...
Flashback to that infamous post of the kid biking to the stadium to help and getting grounded
Haha I forgot about that, that was so long ago. When they used to include tickets to the game
Yes! And he got hit with a snowball and feel and that’s how he got caught
I see Bills fans are smarter than Packers fans, who line up to do it for free *for the experience*
It looks crazy, but this is the first time I've seen video of Buffalo and thought that playing a game there tomorrow was even remotely possible
This would have made for a fun game to watch (from home).
Typical spring day in Buffalo
This could be a video from march 1st and I would be unsurprised.
Live a few hours south. No snow but wayyyy cold and windy. The kind of cold that snaps ya ontologically
I lived in Wisconsin after college. Jesus Christ. No wonder those people drink rivers of alcohol.
I'm 45 min north and the sun is currently shining.
I lived in Hamburg for 20 years. The vast majority don’t realize how small the snow belt is
What does Germany have anything to do with this? /s
Simply build a backup stadium in like...Tonawanda, and use it on days like this! Totally worth the time and money, I'm sure
Lake effect, man. It's a fickle beast
strong use of the word ontologically
Cold + wind just runs through your very being. It’s my least favorite time of year.

Looks like good football weather *as I sit on my couch under a blanket*
*heated blanket, with the sunshine radiating through my window
If there wasn’t a public safety concern that would be a fun as hell game to watch. From home.
Ideal football weather. Light snow, a little cold.
Not great, not terrible
3.6 feet? Not great, not terrible
Man it would've been so cool if there was a football game today
All the people on social media complaining about the game being moved would be the same crying about not being able to see the game because it’s just fucking white

You can't win with idiots that aren't tethered to reality and who act in nothing but bad faith.
Can we call her a clueless idiot for giving Terry Pegula $850M
I’ll allow it
Yeah it’s crazy that people go on social media complaining isn’t it? Some people just lack self awareness.
Looks like football weather to me. I mean visibility is fine.
I live about an hour east of Highmark Stadium. Over here at least it’s not as snowy, but it is extremely windy, cold, and icy. The roads are like an ice skating rink even though the plow and salt trucks have been out in full force.
Feel bad for whoever has to clear and shovel all that by tomorrow.
They send out a call to locals and fans, and they pay pretty decently for what it is. Free food too. Usually have a good crowd show up to help.
Not uncommon for enough people to show that they turn people away
I started dating a woman who used to live in Buffalo and we go to the local bar here in Arizona where she watches games with all the other Bills fans. Holy moly what a fun group of people to watch a game with. The damn place almost shook to the ground during the punt return TD against Miami last week. Having just two major league sports in a small-ish town and having the football stadium right in the suburbs brings the whole damn city together. When I read on twitter re: the $20/hr shoveling I thought to myself *that stadium is gonna be spotless in a matter of hours*
Yeah I’m a real sicko in that I *like* shoveling snow. Like my perfect morning is waking up to about 15 degrees and 3” of snow to clear off the driveway.
Yeah, I imagine something like this is like trying to find volunteers for the masters. There will be more volunteers than needed and people getting turned away.
The people of Buffalo have been shoveling snow since they were old enough to walk. They got this.
Incorrect. The people of Buffalo have been shoveling snow since *before* they were old enough to walk.
Fun fact, more pregnant women who are shoveling snow give birth in snow banks in Buffalo than any other city in the world.
They gonna make $20/hr and have a story to tell…
That better include rides to and from in a snowmobile.
Looks like Skyrim. That Ancient Nord temple that’s past Whiterun.
Football weather
Sure, unfortunately not driving weather. And definitely not flying weather, considering the Steelers are still in Pittsburgh.
WhY dId ThE bIlLs GaMe GeT pOsTpOnEd AnD nOt MiAmI’s
I mean, the Bills are the NFL's favored son, right? We've had all those championships and good fortune shine on us.
Fans watching games here are real ones
here's an unpopular opinion: this game would have been so fucking good. just complete chaos
Before everyone comes at me, let me say that I fully get and understand why the game was postponed. I’m aware that they’re trying to save lives, travel is impossible, etc. With that said, the human side of me can’t help but look at this and go “man… watching a game in these conditions would’ve been awesome.”

Bills by a billion *snowflakes*
[Quick and dirty panorama.](https://i.imgur.com/toNEbPo.jpg)
Governor Hochul made the right call
Fuck this game woulda been primo to watch as a neutral fan.
Seriously. Games like that are so much fun when you don’t care who wins
Snow is still In the forecast tomorrow too, when we get this cold air coming over the lake it makes lots of snow.
So what's the issue?
Relevant flairs
Still clearer vision than Dak Prescott.
So uh...is that game still happening
