Could be some real interesting weather. Unseasonably warm here (mid 60s) but heavy storms expected and possible wind gusts up to 60 MPH. I would expect the running game to dictate the outcome. For this game to go over the total, there will have to be some defensive and special teams TDs.

The local weather forecasters are predicting some kind of Armeggedon. On the local NBC TV affiliate, its been nothing but weather updates for 2 hours now. Funnel cloud sightings in the metro area.

Well here is what I've been thinking all day....
The whole planet knew the weather was gonna be severe there since Friday morning so they could have delayed this game till tonight or tmrw night....they could have made this move as late as last night and knew for 100 percent certainty that tornados were gonn be in the area
The nfl is getting desperate in tha they are running out of new ways to make money......goodell wants to experience and this game ending at 6:15pm was pretty good in terms of it not just blending in with other games
If I was him I'd stagger all the ganes:...
1pm-2games
2pm- 2 games
3pm 3 games
4:15 2 games
5pm 2games
Obviously there are more games so they can slot them in accordingly
Very dumb in my opinion to have 8 games at 1 time

Game had no business starting when it did......the ravens got screwed hard on that.....
Would love it hear NFL explanation on why they let fans go out to stadium when they 100 percent knew the most dangerous weather besides what cj saw in Oklahoma earlier in the year was inevitable in the Chicago area
Shame on the NFL......

NBC and ESPN pay the NFL loads of money to have the rights of televising one game on Sunday and Monday night.

Yes in the rare occurrence that the home teams stadium becomes unavailable due to a MLB playoff game or weather forces a game to be moved to another city....Chicago was hit with strong wind and rain.... The damage was done 200 miles away.

The bad weather did hit, but considering the record of weather forecasters several days out, I'm not sure we can assume they are going to be right.

I flew into Chicago Sunday morning arriving at about 10:15 and leaving about 10:50 staying on the same plane while the plane unloaded and 50 more got on. The quickest unload and load of passengers I have ever seen. After a very scary descent and landing I couldn't believe we were taking off. I can attest to how bad the weather was:)

Flying in and out of Chicago is already bad... Any kind of extra wind on top of the wind Chicago already has makes for uncomfortable plane landings/takeoffs.

Sure looks like it.
Watching the vid again, just before the plane hit it looks like one of the engines blew up.
Very sad for all that perished.

I hate flying... If a car engine decides to go atleast you can get out and call a tow truck...
