Narrative:
After landing on runway 27L at ord; we exited on the high speed and contacted ground on 121.9. We were told to keep rolling to taxiway B and were cleared all the way to gate via taxiway B. As we cleared captain slowed because he saw a B737 on taxiway a short of taxiway right. As we approached taxiway right; the B737 turned into us and onto taxiway B causing an abrupt stop on our part. At about A5; we were cut off again by a jet. At this point; captain asked me to confirm with ground that we were cleared all the way to the gate. The ground controller confirmed this and said we were cleared via taxiway B. As we approached the next taxiway we were again faced with a jet that made a hard left turn off of taxiway a onto taxiway B with no intention of holding short or giving way to us. Immediately thereafter; a widebody transport swung around the corner with no intention to stop and continued right through the intersection in front of us. Captain made a hard stop and flashed the landing lights in an effort to signal to him with no luck. Our aircraft stopped about 10 ft short of the wingtip of the jet. The widebody transport aircraft never made an attempt to slow down or stop. Captain then called ground and was told that he was cleared to the gate and that 'if he kept on moving; the other aircraft will get out of the way. If he slows up; the others are going to go ahead of you.' we then taxied to the gate without further incident. Captain immediately called tower.

Title: B757 FLT CREW IS CLEARED TO THEIR GATE AFTER LANDING RWY 27L AT ORD VIA TXWY BRAVO AND MUST STOP FOUR TIMES TO AVOID CONFLICTS WITH OTHER ACFT CROSSING BRAVO.
Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON RWY 27L AT ORD; WE EXITED ON THE HIGH SPD AND CONTACTED GND ON 121.9. WE WERE TOLD TO KEEP ROLLING TO TXWY B AND WERE CLRED ALL THE WAY TO GATE VIA TXWY B. AS WE CLRED CAPT SLOWED BECAUSE HE SAW A B737 ON TXWY A SHORT OF TXWY R. AS WE APCHED TXWY R; THE B737 TURNED INTO US AND ONTO TXWY B CAUSING AN ABRUPT STOP ON OUR PART. AT ABOUT A5; WE WERE CUT OFF AGAIN BY A JET. AT THIS POINT; CAPT ASKED ME TO CONFIRM WITH GND THAT WE WERE CLRED ALL THE WAY TO THE GATE. THE GND CTLR CONFIRMED THIS AND SAID WE WERE CLRED VIA TXWY B. AS WE APCHED THE NEXT TXWY WE WERE AGAIN FACED WITH A JET THAT MADE A HARD L TURN OFF OF TXWY A ONTO TXWY B WITH NO INTENTION OF HOLDING SHORT OR GIVING WAY TO US. IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER; A WDB SWUNG AROUND THE CORNER WITH NO INTENTION TO STOP AND CONTINUED RIGHT THROUGH THE INTXN IN FRONT OF US. CAPT MADE A HARD STOP AND FLASHED THE LNDG LIGHTS IN AN EFFORT TO SIGNAL TO HIM WITH NO LUCK. OUR ACFT STOPPED ABOUT 10 FT SHORT OF THE WINGTIP OF THE JET. THE WDB ACFT NEVER MADE AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. CAPT THEN CALLED GND AND WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS CLRED TO THE GATE AND THAT 'IF HE KEPT ON MOVING; THE OTHER ACFT WILL GET OUT OF THE WAY.
