The NFL's Doomed "Snowball Game"

[@Hypodrize]

Imagine how awesome it must have felt to be that Chargers DB who ran back the game sealing pick six, just barreling full speed towards the end zone as fans barrage you with snowballs while you're wearing a near impenetrable suit of armor. You gotta feel invincible

[@hcwaytobe1104]

I remember watching this very game on TV back in '95,and remember being heated about the fans doing all that- and in a meaningless,non-conference game for the Giants while their season was basically over. I'm sorry your guys had to go through that, especially that one coach who was beaned right on the head and dropped. If you had done that and wound up on national TV, I would not even have been mad. I'd have gotten a laugh out of it. That whole day was embarrassing

Good on Dan Reeves, I feel like there are some coaches who would shrug it off and say the 49ers should just deal with it ‘that’s the game’ kinda guys, but he rightfully called it out both times.

Any coach to shrug that off would have to be an idiot 😭. Basic press training to not answer like that, and if not that it’s just basic morals

There some really idiotic coaches, especially back then

I can't believe they didn't just blow the play dead and replay the down. Maybe there's "no recourse" to call a penalty in the rulebook, but surely you can at least treat it like an inadvertent whistle or something.

Something similar happened just after this video in the Bills home game against the Dolphins. Buffalo had received 7 inches of snow and at points pelting the field with it. The refs threatened a 15 yard penalty if it didn't stop and after the game Mike McDaniel said he was worried about people getting hurt. Dawson Knox went on a podcast and said that there was nothing the refs could actually do about that because there's nothing in the rulebook about it and they came over and told Sean McDermott, "Hey, we can't actually enforce this, we just had to say that to get them to stop"

You should look into the infamous Santa game back in the 1968 when Eagles fans turned on a poor dude dressed as Santa who was thrown out onto the half-time show because the original Santa hired couldn't make it due to weather, and the halftime show planned fell apart.

[@platinumdiamond7]

If I remember correctly the original Santa showed up drunk and then they got the other guy? The only thing I do remember was it was a game against the Vikings. The eagles lost the OJ Simpson sweepstakes. The eagles got pick sixed and the fans were pissed off. I think nobody was hurt but idk I'm a biased birds fan.

[@JusticeForPottsvilleMaroons]

There's a bit more backstory involved here. The 1968 Eagles were terrible, and started 0-11. At that point, most fans resigned to the idea of just losing out and getting the #1 pick in the draft. But then the Eagles won 2 meaningless games in a row, meaning no #1 pick. So, when the season finale came and the fan in the Santa Claus outfit came out to celebrate, all the Eagles fans were extremely pissed off at the team and organization, and were in no mood for that shit. Mind you, I'm not trying to justify what the fans did, because it was wrong. I'm just putting it in full context.

Who hasn't looked into it? It gets mentioned every Philly sports game. This however, hardly ever gets mentioned.

[@brianbelden2449]

When I was a kid my Pops brought me all the way down from Glens Falls NY to watch that game. Every time a Chargers player reached the endzone all we could see at the ENTIRE opposite end of the stadium was a white blanket of snowballs that looked like a giant white V that funneled down to the handful of chargers players celebrating in the end zone. The stadium seating isles were all full of snow and every bit of it was heavy wet and packed snow. Shit was nuts.

[@jliller]

Most years the San Diego Chargers don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning cold weather games.

[@Gungho73]

I find it wild that there was a game Philidelphia fans have became infamous for, in terms of those fans notoriety as being unruly degenerates known for booing moreso then cheering (unless its for a opposing player being hurt) in which they pelted Santa due to anger with the teams performance. And that gets talked about pretty freely. But a game like this or bottlegate as you pointed out on a prior video rarely do. This is pretty damn horrible considering a guy like that equipment manager could've gotten badly hurt! I didn't even remember this game! It's wild how the NFL tends to pick and choose what games historically they would prefer to bury. Especially with the media on site being about as blunt as could be reasonably on television at the time.
