Everybody was already aware of the frigid temperature that was set for sunday's game. Minus 20 for the windchill is what was believed. Well apparently the weather is going to be even colder now. Now report that the high will be -5 degrees and low of -20, so windchill factor for the low will be -50 degrees!? holy ****..my hats off to those crazy, hardcore fans going to the stadium there. I can't wait to watch a classic weather game with classic teams going at it. I hope noone dies from hypothermia there. Watch some knucklehead fans will still be shirtless ha. And obviously thats gotta hurt like a bitch getting tackled for the players with such frigid weather.
 
I was looking at a weather map of the Chicago area and they also were focusing -50 with the wind chill, so the same thing would have happened had the Bears won the division. I think Chicago is just a couple hours south on the Great Lakes, Unreal. I have sat outside in the cold here in Colorado a few times when it was in the 20's, but there is no way in hell I would get out there for anything below zero. People could die out there.

I wonder if the NFL could move freezing cold playoff games like this to a domed stadium? I know it wouldn't be fair to the fans, but they have moved games because of hurricanes and other stuff in the past. I am actually hoping it gets below zero for the Superbowl in the Meadowlands in February so maybe the Commish will realize what a bad idea this is. I don't want to see who is best at playing in the snow and cold, I want to watch the two best teams going at it in normal weather. I know football is an outdoor game that is meant to be played in the elements, but this is just like having the World Series played in the snow because MLB keeps pushing games back later in the year.

I hope nobody dies out there either. I'm more worried about the fans, because they are sitting still for three hours even if bundled up. Atleast the players are runnijng and moving which will help them a little. Plus the bench players will have heaters blowing on them at the sideline
 
If we were meant to live in putrid weather like that, we'd have fur. **** that ****.
 
That game tomorrow will be crazy. With temperatures like that, fans could easily get frostbite or worse.
