Damar Hamlin - Now (1/11/2023) discharged from Buf Gen & “recovering at home”

[steven50]

the Bengals players helmet struck him center chest. I think it has something to do with his heart.

Hamlin’s health is all that matters but for the Bills to be punished because of what happened tonight is unfair and unacceptable.

I hope those 574 replies have at least 573 telling him that when he wakes up, he’ll still be a classless douche

Account seems to be taken down ...

Even though the Bengals were controlling the game, if they cant replay it just call it a tie. This is such a tragedy.  So sorry for the Bills.

I just talked to an ER doc.  Obviously it’s speculation.  But Hamlin needs prayers.  Football isn’t even secondary right now.

Another classless punk. I hope he loses or gets fired off his stupid show

It was when McDermott was talking to Taylor in the hallway. I think it’s possible they are canceling for now and will figure out the details later.

You don't shock asystole. That is a Hollywood myth. You do, however, give CPR. You only shock certain arrhythmia to get the heart back into a regular rythym

That is true. But blunt impact to chest usually causes Ventricular fibrillation not asystole

Still not a big positive update. Trachea breathing tube isn't great sign but he is still here. 🙏

Agreed. I reckon the discussion is more whether we think we'll be ok to play tomorrow and what the outcome would be if not, whilst trying to appear sensitive at the same time. The ESPN pundits have said the game needs to be postponed.

 

The right people know how Damar is, but it's difficult not after what we saw. Least it sounds like he's being sent to one of the best hospitals for cardiac trauma.

If diggs was already in a towel - it’s been cancelled for a good bit and the league is just waiting to announce the plan from here which has a lot of moving pieces

That jibes with what we heard a while ago; heart is beating; can't breathe on his own.

 

This is not over for Damar!

It’s a small matter in the grand scheme of things, but the Bills simply CANNOT be punished in the W-L column because one of their players might actually die.

If the NFL makes the Bills forfeit they will be the worst people I can imagine 

 

Their teammate is in critical condition and they want them to play?

I can’t believe the NFL tried to make them play after five ***** minutes of warm up. Are you ***** kidding me

 

The league has official procedures and protocols.  But considering the unprecedented nature of the injury, I'm sure their implementation of it amounted to "so officially we have to tell you you have 5 minutes to get going again.  We do not plan on enforcing it until word comes down from the league with a final decision".

These 3 on ESPN are an embarrassment

I'm no fan of Bayless but, to be fair, some of us are discussing this on here too. And he also says it suddenly seems so irrelevant which is right.

Does any1 think it occurred from that second fall? So sad was woozy, stood up and hit sensitive occipital protuberance. Prayers for the young man

His heart stopped which caused him to fall the second time is my best guess…not that my opinion matters at all

This is why people Boo Goodell at the draft
