ILBillsfan Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 So after watching the Kyle Williams mic'd up he made the comment after Josh ran the 30 yard touchdown that he thought he was gonna try to throw the ball out of the stadium. So from the layout of the stadium I think the west end would probably be more ideal unless of course the wind was crazy. I think this would be awesome to see him do and it has obviously been talked about by his teammates. I could see it definitely happen and will look forward to it when it does. I think the fans would go nuts and some lucky person outside will get a ball that could be a real collection item 2
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Only cool if he throws it from his knees ? 1 3
The Wiz Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Well according to wiki, the field is 50ft below ground level and the top of the upper deck is 60ft above. So being 110ft to get it over the 300 sections and probably around 75-80ft around the end zones (not accounting for the jumbotron and suites). That being said I'm sure he could do it and want to see it. Also I'd be curious if he did if it would circumvent the 6k fine for throwing the football into the stands since he would technically be throwing it over the stands and out of the stadium.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 He's definitely going to do it someday. Hopefully he saves it for a SB Championship. 2 3

eSJayDee Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 So he's got to throw the thing 110' up & do so at a considerable distance away? Don't think it can be done. 110' is the apex of a good punt; he might be able to do that (though I'm skeptical), but I doubt he could achieve that hgt at a significant distance. I've (obviously) never been down on the field & it's been a number of years since my last time at the stadium, but I'm roughly guessing maybe 50 yds plus?

Not the end zones. That's probably closer to 75-80' (guessing that is).
Ramza86 Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 How much you wanna bet he can throw it over them mountains? 3 3 2

I don't think he has to throw it that high to make out of the endzone portion of the stadium. It does look like it would have to travel a distance of 60 or so yards, as you look at photos.

I don't think he has to throw it that high to make out of the endzoen portion of the stadium. The top of the upper deck buildings is what I think it means. Those two buildings I think are 110' to the top. Actually reading it says: The field is 50 feet (15 m) below ground level, while the top of the upper deck stands only 60 feet above ground. So maybe it means the stands or is that just phrasing like it stands that tall? Edited January 4, 2019 by The Wiz 1

Those two buildings I think are 110' to the top. ahhh. Man. seriously, think about it...100 feet up, more than 60 yards out. That's not necessarily easy, even for Josh. Test it at night time like Roy Hobbs did for batting practice. Edited January 4, 2019 by dollars 2 donuts 1
ILBillsfan Posted January 4, 2019 Author Posted January 4, 2019 I think the west end between the jumbotoron and the three hundred section would be much lower
