So did Jim Kelly. Many players haven't been excited about coming to Buffalo, but changed their minds after being there.

Its a reference to Chris Berman. Breathe...

Cardiac Bills are back!!

I think its a catch. It hit his hand and he brought it to his body. It never came off his hand.

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

Gotta wonder. The holder has been faulted for some of Butker's misses this year. The old holder, cant remember his name, had given some public tips for Townsend. Then Townsend basically replied like a spoiled brat saying he doesn't need to take any tips from an old player. Sounds like he may of come up with his own solution. Maybe it allows the ball to spin easier and get the laces in proper position? Edit: here's some context

When did Italian become a race?

Josh was past line of scrimmage. Catch wouldn't of mattered

SMOKE Hodgins!!!

Offense isn't the problem. This soft defense is

Bills playing bend and break defense

But did he prevent the TD? At the last second to add. Its was a nice play.

Look how many asterisks the Pats have for cheating and do people even care?

Is that Damar's?

There's a lot of Pat fans that think Mac Jones is a legitimate franchise QB because he backed his way into a Pro Bowl

This is fantastic news. I would anticipate that he will be extubated today with the updates we have received. Well, im on the west coast so its still early in the day here. They could wait until tomorrow.

Basically means that he still meets the conditions to keep him in the critical care unit.

Once again, for clarity, I'm not a doctor. But a critical care RN. Its depends. Its VERY uncomfortable having the endotracheal tube and orogastric tube down your throat. One of the first things most patients do when conducting SAT's is attempt to pull them out. The patient is confused, doesn't know where they are, what all this stuff on them is, etc. We often put patients in restraints during SATs so they don't self-extubate. I have taken care of patients where I have been able to stop all sedation and the patient was absolutely calm, responsive to yes and no questions and could tolerate it. However, if the plan is not to extubate, then you typically continue with light sedation for comfort.

Oh man, didn't see that Rhodes got cut. But still curious how the roster situation would play out. It definitely benefits us if we don't have to carry the same active roster since it will allow us to bring up Marlowe and/or an extra DB.

I'm curious if there is a replay, do the rosters have to remain how they were when the game was suspended? Or can they Bills call up Xavier Rhodes from PS and/or activate/inactivate different players? I think the Redskins did this for Sean Taylor

Typically they will continue with the awakening trials that I have discussed, daily. If he isn't having purposeful responses, an EEG may be done to monitor brain activity. However, it should be done with no sedation. This is not ideal in an intubated patient since it is very uncomfortable. But sometimes if there are no responses, you can take off all sedation while the patient is intubated. With no responses, they arent fighting the vent, pulling at tubes/lines, etc. Typically around day 12 they will begin talking about a tracheostomy and PEG tube (tube through abdomen into the stomach) if he isn't responding. Continued intubated can cause damage to the trachea. Hopefully we don't get that far. With all this said, I did see tweets that they said there were positive signs of improvement. This suggests there is some type of response that they've seen.. He should be off hypothermia by now and I'm sure they've done at least one SAT. The positive signs they may be seeing could be reflex response, pain response, movement, or even following commands (i dont think he is there yet based on limited updates).

Depends on the level of sedation

We hold <36 C. The ones in the protocol Beck Water have been quoting even further

In my understanding, it is not about damage. It about the timing of the blow. If the blow occurs at the exact millisecond when the heart is in a specific point of the T wave it can disrupt the electrical signal causing arrhythmia, V fib. The same principal can occur when delivering a shock to restore the heart from certain arrhythmias. For instance, in v-tach or SVT before shocking you MUST use the "sync" button before delivering the shock. This allows the device to detect the rythtym and deliver the shock at the appropriate time. If it is not used and you deliver the shock during a point in the T wave, you can put the heart into v-fib which is worse than the rythym you were trying to correct. In v-fib the heart is basically just quivering so the use of "sync" doesn't apply.
