Josh isn't the type of player to let a broken or dilocated finger slow him down. I wouldn't even be shocked if he started slinging it left handed. (sarcasm)

I would like to disagree with you on this because there are options that you can use for spraying on the visor to prevent the fogging, but I just can't. The fact is, those sprays suck, and they don't work. I have tried them for those chilly mornings when riding my motorcycle, and i still need to leave my visor unlocked and lifted a 1/4 to 1/2 inch to prevent it from fogging up and collecting moisture. It really is a pain.

Not all visors, but anything that is tinted. At least according to the rules. "only 100% clear visors are legal for use in games unless a player has a doctor's note and league approval for a tinted or colored visor due to a medical reason. Referees have the final say, and players must ensure their visor is completely clear and free of any "swag" like logos or lettering. The strict requirement for clear visors allows medical personnel to check players' eyes for injuries without removing their helmet, which is critical in the event of a suspected spinal injury." But in 2019 the league signed a deal with Oakley, so players now have the option to wear Oakley Prizm Clear shields, a lightly tinted visor meant to enhance visual acuity and spatial awareness in players. details found here.

How many home games do you attend a year?
BigPappy replied to vanhalen26's topic in The Stadium Wall
I started making it last year during the playoffs. It has just the right amount of kick, and the perfect sweetness from the bourbon. It just needs to be made the day before to give it time to settle and thicken up. Once it does, Mmmmm mmmmmm. So smooth and delicious. -
Not to mention that his numbers were not that far off from Brady, P Manning, Favre, and a few others in the same amount completed years in the league. Assuming the stats that ChatGPT pulled are correct, I think it is safe to assume the narritive that Josh was a "turnover machine" (especially in his early career) are grossly exagerated.

BigPappy replied to vanhalen26's topic in The Stadium Wall
I used to go to 3-4 games a year, sometimes add in one additional one from a vendor that some years would invite me to a game as well. The last few years, it has been only 1 game a year. Like @BuffaloBillyG and @The Jokeman, between the weather and traffic, especially the weather... meh. I've reached the age where I am just plain sick of the cold and winter. I get a great view from my Wingback chair, with my feet up and a nice cold drink and some fresh chicken wings with homemade Buffalo Trace bourbon Buffalo sauce. -
Game week thread - Dolphins at Bills TNF
BigPappy replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
100% agree! Especialy about Tua! He is so prone to concussions, I'm not sure anyone would want to touch him. With his contract, they would probably have to cut him unless he decided to retire. Which I highly doubt he would do. He refused to 2 years ago when it was suggested to him for his own health and safety. Some of the crap that comes out of his mouth, I sometime wonder if he trades places with Tue sometimes and is the one that actually gets concussed. LOL! He seems braindead to me much of the time i hear him talk. -
Week 3, Fish v. Bills, PREDICT THE SCORE!
BigPappy replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Josh lays down 30 in the first half giving us a 30 - 0 lead and Mitchy Trubinski plays most if not all of the second half. Fins get some garbage time points in the fourth. Final score Bills - 37 Fins - 10 -
Tony Romo -“It’s like Nick Sabans Alabama teams against MTSU”
BigPappy replied to McBean's topic in The Stadium Wall
I honestly thought he did it on purpose. The way he swung his arm in and knifed his hand to make sure his hand got through the face mask for maximum damage. -
Meanwhile, always fun to drop in on Finheaven during Bills week
BigPappy replied to CSBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Some of the comments on the board are pure comedy gold. Had me rolling! 🤣 -
Social media after a Bills win makes everything better
BigPappy replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
I came for the comments. They didn't disappoint. I'm dying over here guys and gals. The blueprint is there, but they still need the players with the speed and skill set to execute that blueprint. -
James Cook has less touches than Ray Davis over past 5 seasons
BigPappy replied to freddyjj's topic in The Stadium Wall
Once you hit the Pro level, collegiate stat's are pointless. They don't amass to anything. You might be able to infer trends based off of habits or whatever, but the Pro level is a completely different animal. It is far more competitive, with harder hits, and RB's get banged around far more in the NFL than they do in college. Because of that, estimating "milage" based off the number of carries alone is utterly pointless. If you are going to base it on milage, you need to factor in how hard those miles were. How many hard hits did he take, how many holes that he popped through where he got banged around a lot. All that said, as @Malazan said, you don't keep RB's on their second contract, and I agree. The only time that statement isn't true is when they are the elite of the elite. They have to be the best of all RB's and it can't even be a close comparison. Your post also makes a huge assumption seeing as you didn't mention it at all. Injuries. This team is notorious for sustaining significant injuries, and RB's take a ton of hits. Their is just no way to "guess" which player would be the player to keep at this point in their careers. There are just to many factors that come into play between now and then. -
By all means. please explain further how fame has "gotten to his head". I mean, all he does is go around the country performing charity work with his and other foundations. Like others have mentioned, he is not a "key" or "top" performer, so it's not like he doesn't have the free time to do the work. Not to mention, it's great publicity to the orginization. If anything, I would argue that he would probably be kept on the team as a depth guy, just for that reason alone (especially if someone significanly better doesn't become available), while he works on honing his skills and try to move up the depth chart. It's not like he is completely without skills on the field. He was solid in 2022 as a backup Yes, he needs to improve, but he is not the worst player we have had at the position. I agree with this. There really is no down side to keeping him. Based on history with our strength and conditioning, we have issues with players going down for extended periods, especially on the defensive side of the ball, so we need the depth in the defensive backfield. He knows the defense, he's popular with most fans, and he is a PR goldmine. at least for the time being he is, and I think that as long as the team see's imporvements or at least no decline in his skills, the smart play is keeping him. Cutting him could be a PR nightmare, and with all the BS the team had delt with with Diggs, they may not want to rock the boat. And I know that teams shouldn't concider PR when cutting players, but in this instanse, they might. Riiight, because backup players that don't get a ton of playing time don't ever get traded because other teams see something in a player that another team doesn't. That NEVER happens! 😂😂🙄 Btw, Damar is currently a depth player, not a backup. Currently he only plays if there are injuries to multiple players. While specifically to Damar, you are correct, he would not be a trade target, "backup" players in general are traded routinely.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're making one heck of an assumption, beleiving I and/or many of us others would even survive all 4 quarters with 250+ pound defensive linemen or 230lbs safety barrelling down on us. Even in my prime age to which i was actually in pretty darn good shape, i seriously doubt I'd last much past the first quarter, if that. One of the options should have been 0-1. If i were in my prime, I think I could complete at least 1 pass to a running back in the flats off a fake handoff. If I had to be the age and shape I am in now (which is round btw), it's a fat zero for me. LOL!!
