sad to say, no then again Allen could have moved up  a good 5 yards or more from where he released the ball 

Not on that side anyways.  That side has the clubs and admin building.  The other side of the stadium has gaps on both sides of the scoreboard.

Idk... In the article Josh says he saw fans up there screaming and decided to give them a souvenir.

 

But I'm not buying that. I've seen Josh say he wants to throw the ball out of the stadium as a celebration and I think that's what he was trying to do.

 

Of course the press thought he was trying to hit the press box (yeah, right).

Dude has more yards on that catch than Zay Jones did!

Oh he definitely was trying to get it out, he picked the spot between the box and WOF with the lowest bleachers (still super high lol), and he gave it a good go.  I bet he could do it, I was in that end zone in the handicapped seats and it fluttered a bit... he gets a tighter spiral it carries out of the stadium.

12th row of section 224.  Everyone get your protractors out and see if he can get it out of the stadium now.

When he let it fly, I thought it was going out of the Stadium.   He seemed to throw it about as hard as he could, so I doubt he could throw one out.

He was aiming for the 10th row but overthrew it.

 

SORRY. Someone had to.

LOL!!!

He can catch. Should we kick the tires?

 

Has Gilliam got a jersey clearance rack?

 

 In light of the hazards associated with the throwing of the football into the stands, the league has awarded a compensatory draft pick to the winner of the 2019 Week 7 Monday night game.  ?

I disagree, there was some flutter to it when watching it from the side, I think he could get it there.

I don't know Shaw, as another poster posted. Allen had more room to move forward.

Partially joking but hear me out on this one.  Section 204, 205, 239 and 240 have 18 rows.  He was able to get it to the 12th row and was on the end zone white when he let it go.  So he probably had about 25-30ft of extra room.

 

I think he could do it with optimal conditions.

If you actually watch his postgame presser, it's clear he's being, um, "politically correct" when he says he wanted to give the fans up there a souveneir.

 

He told Jim Kelly in that "celebration" fluff piece they did that the NFL would fine him for throwing the ball out of the stadium.

 

In his presser at about 3:09, when the question is asked, he says, "yeah, um..." and looks off camera to his right, presumably to his Bills PR handler, then he gets this little grin before he says that the fans in the top row were yelling pretty loud and he wanted to give them a souveneir.

 

Sounds as though it went to a great guy though - lifelong fan, made a clean catch.  It woulda been a shame if it went to a douche who snatched it away from a young kid, or a Miami fan or something.

Imagine Dan Marino flying out of the press box and diving in front of dozens of stunned Bills fans to makes the catch.

 

Yuck

Yes i think he had at least 5 yards, he needs to have a tighter spiral and wind behind him, if  all that happens he could do it imo.

 

RoyBatty is alive, you are spot on per usual! Josh really exposed some mechanical flaws in his ability to throw it out of the stadium Sunday. Hopefully this is something Jordan Palmer can work with him on in the offseason.

Over 65 yards at that height is amazing IMO.

 

and how much further on the downward trajectory would it have gone?
