I think the Bills and Bengals being on the same page on how to handle all of this gives them a lot of leverage over the NFL. I don’t think the NFL is in position to give out any backlash. They are really on their heels here with a lot of reputation to protect. Add in that ESPN basically called them out as liars as well, I think they will be more accommodating than anything at this point.

Sounds like he would have a successful career in politics.

We have Ralph’s legacy to uphold.

Don’t forget thunder snow.

Moss rushed for over 100 yesterday. Should have only sent over Moss and a 7th.

Personally, yes. But Damar might still be too young to fall into that bucket.

Lets get this man a snow blower at least.

It might just left his spirits to see his teammates be able to go forward and take the field again.

Not if the Chiefs aren’t the beneficiary.

Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.

I was hoping they would bring back the probable designation just for him.

It will be interesting to see where than ends up after some of the larger companies promising to redirect profits to it for jersey and shirt sales like Fanatics start coming in. Assuming they will wait and tally everything up and send over in a lump sum and not after each sale.

I took the "various teammates" in the morning might have referred to former teammates from HS and college that are close friends before doing an organized thing with all the Bills.

One aspect that hasn't been brought up that much is how impactful the whole situation has been on the Bengals players as well. They were just talking about that on NFLN where they said the Bengals didn't practice at all until yesterday. The one reporter said she asked Joe Mixon earlier in the week if he would be ready to take the field on Sunday and he straight up said no. The recovery news has to be uplifting to them too, especially considering they have to go right back on the same field this weekend.

They just said on NFL Network that he has been facetiming with people all morning and is currently having a facetime meeting with the Bills.

I’ve been following all of this except for the few past pages so I apologize if this has already been stated: it’s such a positive bit of info that he asked who won the game. That means that he understood he was playing a football game leading up to the injury. So many people get knocked out from a lot less serious injuries and don’t even remember that day or several days leading up to it. The fact that he realized he was in a football game up to the point of going unconscious is such a positive sign for his brain being in good shape and in position for a good recovery.

Was hoping this statement would reinforce Elam's Tweet. Let's hope it is true and they are just being cautious about releasing details.

After it got colder in Miami they decided to replace it with bubble hockey.

I had NFL Network on my office TV in the background while I was working when that came on. After a minute or so into his press conference I paused working and turned up the volume. He said all the right things, handled the conference and the situation on the field perfectly. That's the kind of guy you can get behind and someone I'll be rooting for when it doesn't involve the Bills.
