Buffalo Bills Owner Terry Pegula Calls on the NFL to Reevaluate Results After Legend Eric Moulds Is Left Off the 2026 Hall of Fame List – And the Reason Behind Bills Mafia’s Outrage
Buffalo, New York – Today
A wave of anger has erupted across Bills Mafia after the NFL released the semifinalist list for the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame class — and Eric Moulds, one of the greatest wide receivers in Buffalo Bills history, was nowhere to be found. For fans who witnessed Moulds carry the franchise through some of its toughest years, the decision felt not just disappointing, but deeply disrespectful.
Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula was among the first to speak out, expressing sharp criticism and urging the NFL to reconsider what he believes is a glaring oversight. Pegula emphasized that the omission does not reflect the true impact Moulds had on the franchise — or on the league itself.
With over 9,000 career receiving yards, three Pro Bowl selections, and countless defining moments, Moulds became the heartbeat of the Bills offense during an era when the team lacked star power elsewhere. He set franchise records, delivered elite production year after year, and remained the emotional anchor of the team through seasons filled with instability.
Pegula’s frustration was clear during a press session earlier today. His words quickly spread across social media, igniting immediate support from fans and former players alike:
“What he did for Buffalo and for the NFL deserves far more respect than this. He wasn’t just a player — he was part of the league’s soul. And I believe this is one of the decisions the NFL must correct immediately.”
Bills Mafia echoed Pegula’s sentiment with intensity. Thousands of fans pointed out that Moulds’ statistical résumé rivals — and in many cases surpasses — several receivers who made the semifinal cut. Many analysts also noted the context: Moulds posted top-tier production despite playing for Buffalo teams that often struggled to stay competitive.
Some NFL historians even argued that if Moulds had played his prime years on a bigger-market team, he might already be enshrined in Canton.
To Buffalo, however, this is about more than numbers or recognition.
It is about justice for a franchise icon — a player who gave everything to a city that embraced him as family.
As Pegula made clear, this moment marks the beginning of a larger push. Bills Mafia is rallying, pressure is building, and the conversation around Moulds’ Hall of Fame candidacy is gaining new life.
And if one thing is certain, it’s this:
Buffalo is not done fighting for Eric Moulds — not even close.
