  1.  

    You need to watch the entirety but the first part is the best piece the first 8-9 minutes. 

     

    The Buffalo Bills are at a cross roads where they will either be broken or galvanized.

     

    These players and coaches have faced adversity throughout their lives age their careers to get to this point, it's a dog fight, but the latest event really cut them, but the cut is the final part of the process is creating a diamond.

     

    I feel this team comes together and throttles their competition moving forward. There's nothing in a game that can happen that will shake them. Getting Hamlin back in the building and and around the team will be huge during playoffs if that happens in time. 

     

    Recycle your pain into a Super Bowl.

  2. You're right, you're not that team anymore, you're the team that should have lost to the Patriots last week before that gift of a fumble. 

     

     

     

    The Bills have lost 3 games this year by a total of 8 points. The sheer confidence you have that the Bengals were going to win that game is pretty comical. 

     

    The NFL has approved plans for neutral site in the AFCC in event that game mattered, so no, you aren't getting screwed the league literally went out of their way to make that game fair. 

     

    Good sportsmanship by the Bengals, but don't forget their players didn't want to play either and your QB also stated that some of your guys didn't even want to play this weekend... before agreeing to stop play your coach should have gotten agreement on future resumption or forfeit, that's on him. 

     

    I hope we get a Bills v Bengals AFCC, and it will be neutral site if so most likely.

    First of all I am so happy and relieved that Damar is making a full recovery.  That had shook me up all week and was praying for the best.

    Your medical assistant who performed cpr is a hero!

    And I knew that UC would do a great job as they saved my life as well, when I had a workplace accident, breathing tube and trachea, 10 day induced coma.  They are a world class facility.

     

    Now onto football.  My Bengals are getting royally screwed here.  I think the 2 seed is solid gold, don't think the Chiefs will win their first matchup even, and the 2 seed will get home field the rest of the way. They have been struggling mightily, barely beating the Texans, barely beating the Broncos.  No one is scared of them, maybe the Bills?  After that 13 second thing. More of a mental hurdle, I feel you guys are actually the better team. And wow is Leslie Frazier bad, we know he was in Cincy and we didn't want him.

     

    I feel the Bengals would beat the Chiefs, so would the Jags, so would the Chargers, the Bills really ought to cause your better than them.

     

    I just feel bad for our team, and city and fans.  We did everything right under hard circumstances.  And to get punished for it.  We were gonna beat you guys.  Period.  And our defense tends to get better second half.  Wish Bills did the honorable thing and forfeited the game.  I know many of you disagree. 

     

    And I read one post that said well Joe Burrow shouldn't of thrown 4 picks in the opener with the Steelers.  Yeah and he just had come off of an appendectomy, with brand new offensive line, and we still would of won but a freak injury of our long snapper, double torn pecs, so we missed an extra point that would of sealed it.

    We're not that team anymore, and if anyone who can overcome getting f'ed by the NFL it's my Bengals.  Bring it on.

    Damar Hamlin is great kid and I'm sure he will be back on the field for you guys next year.  Look forward to it.  Best of luck to you Bills fans except when you play my Bengals lol.

    Why doesn’t Sirianni have to win the Super Bowl to win COY like Sean does?

    Because the Bills were super bowl favorites this year, they are an established team and front runner. COY doesn't fall short of expectations. 

     

    Eagles are a much improved team and actually have haf a better record than the Bills throughout the year. They are about to clinch #1 seed despite losing their starting QB. He's an offensive coach and they have even put up more points than us despite us having Josh Allen. What he's done with Hurts development is incredible.

  4. So Josh Allen plays the day after his grandmother died.

     

    Many other athletes, like Brett Favre played a day after his dad died. 

     

    Redskins played 2 days after Sean Taylor died. 

     

    The league pushed pause for 1 weekend then resumed after 9/11 attacks.

     

    The Bruins played 2 days after the marathon bombing.

     

    ...but the Bills need 2 weeks off for a teammate that suffered a medical emergency and is alive recovering in the hospital??

     

    This is going too far.

     

    Feel terrible for Hamlin and wish him a full recovery but spending weeks wallowing in self-pity is not healthy nor appropriate. Awful things happen in the course of life, things we wish never came upon us but that is not for us to decide, all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

    WTF it is not my article, just because I post a tweet does not make everything contained with in it mine. I am not the defender of the tweet (I didn't tweet it or find the information in the first place), the only thing I am defending on here, if you will, is people running with an assumption that isn't even in the post.  I mean if you are going to comment on something at least read it and be factual with it...FFS

    Okay sorry, the article you are referring to, sorry that distinction upset you. 

     

    I did read what you posted and was talking to the content in it and measures that have taken place to improve survival. Updated info posted, which contains the 58% survival i recently referred to. 

     

    No need to be defensive or upset. Lots of info floating around some old and ever changing outside of what people are accustomed to discussing.

    It’s been a minute for me, but not thaaaat long. AED’s have always been at all of my events. I think they have to be within something like 300m. 

    I know and the article that was quoted was from 97-98. Old info.  I posted the updated, measures like AED installs have increased survival to 58%

    Your assumption is that "That 10% survival is incredibly misleading because of the delay of medical attention and AED equipment in most cases".

     

    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but to make a statement like that, should insinuate that you looked at those 34 organized competitive events to back up the statement that you tossed out there:

     

    Stats are stats and depending on how you want to look at them - can paint a different picture. The facts are:

     

    1.) "To better characterize the clinical profile of this syndrome we have now assembled 69 well-characterized cases, including 34 occurring during organized competitive athletics"

     

    2.) In the study of the 69 well-characterized cases, only 7 of the 69 survived, that is a fact.

     

    3.) It is also a fact that 5 of the 7 survivors cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystanders was particularly prompt (² 1 minute).

     

    Now to what we don't know -

     

    1.) How many minutes before they started?

    2.) How many minutes of actual resuscitation occurred?

    3.) We also have to factor in that he had to be resuscitated a second time at the hospital how frequently did this occur?

     

    I suppose your assumptions could be answered further in the study itself and can be presented as facts, but without looking for the full study and to dissect the entire paper, they are assumptions that are not factually suppported

    See updated info above, your article is out of date.

    Look because I post something, doesn't mean I am doing all the homework for everyone - click the link and read the abstract...

     

    https://nocsae.org/research-grant-program/research-grants-by-year/the-national-commotio-cordis-registry/

     

    It also doesn't make me an expert or that I am attempting to push any narrative...

     

     

    You're quoting old information from 97-98. Much has changed in 25 years. 

     

    Here is the updated 58% figure i stated before that i recalled. The increase of AED devices has been a key contribution.

    How do you know that in the other 90% of the cases there was a delay of medical attention and AED in those cases?

     

     

    image.png.f92a2d00f94feeca8ebd643e355bbb40.png

    Because little league games and other youth events don't have a team of physicians on hand and there has been a very popular movement the past 10+ years to get AEDs placed at parks and more areas due to deaths that have occurred. My previous workplace actually installed one and volunteered was selectedto be trained and certified with it. 

     

    I'm not saying in 90% of the other cases there was no equipment and personnel, however, there commonly is not and that's why the movements for heart healthy communities exist. Let alone the teams and trauma procedures on hand at NFL have just are flat out not there for other events/games and understandably so.

    They seemed to have handled everything with class and thank God that McDermott and Taylor got together and said no way we are forcing these players to play. The fans seemed to be cheering, I thought I heard some boos when the players left the field and I hope that's not the case but everyone seems to be pulling for Damar and the donations are great too but first and foremost is his health

    If there were boos I wouldn't blame the fans because they probably didn't fully understand what was happening. Monday night game, paying a ton of money to go, waiting through entry, parking,  etc... game just got started... good chance they thought it was some sort of head injury that we see all too often and grown accustomed to, and not knowing everything else that transpired. I'd give those people the benefit of doubt considering how unprecedented this was.
