I'm not going to defend Skip Bayless ever. But this played a big part in how long it took the NFL to cancel the game.

 

1. There isn't really protocol for a player ending up in critical condition on MNF. 

2. This isn't hockey where you can just fit a game in at the end of a back to back.

3. This is a CRUCIAL game with major playoff implications. It cannot be called a tie or forfeited. 

4. It cannot just be moved to tomorrow because we do not know what is going to happen with Hamlin. 

5. To move the NFL season back one week is a logistical nightmare beyond anything you can imagine. 

6. It's too late in the season to just fit a game into a bye week. 

 

So what do you do? This is a black swan event.

Can you imagine what it's like for them? They're not news broadcasters who are trained to be solemn and serious but keep the programme flowing. None of them want to be there, doing this, right now.

Agreed. I think they’ve done an admirable job and we’re the first to suggest the league suspend the game.

This is what I think is most likely.  A heart rhythm problem could be due to a fairly common valvular problem in athletes.  A brain aneurysm that ruptured would also be preexisting but undiagnosed which is usually the case.   brain aneurysms aren't commonly screened for..

I am absolutely no doctor but it looks and sounds like commotio cordis which there’s a few examples of in the sports world 

[SydneyBillsFan]

I hope its not this:

 

Commotio cordis most commonly results from an impact to the left chest with a hardball (e.g., a baseball) during sports activity. The sudden focal distortion of the myocardium results in ventricular fibrillation, causing sudden cardiac arrest in an otherwise structurally normal heart.

His health is the only thing that matters.  Prayers for Hamlin

I think Booger has done a good job.

Yeah not like they practice situations like this. I think all 3 have done a great job along with Joe and Troy.

Prayers for Damar and his family.

He is, but I didn't find his tweet offensive.  He stated that the business and logistics were irrelevant.

Prayers up for Demar Hamlin. I pray he comes out okay.  

Yeah, idk. Only thing I could find in response to another poster asking in the game thread. Chasing Ms is still his company, I believe.

[Thrivefourfive]

Can we have a professional medical explanations on the events that happened, pinned to the top?

Poor communication on the part of the league to the many spectators at the game.   At the very least the league should make an official announcement the game is not being played tonight...go home and wait for more details.

Same because it seems most likely.  He has an 80% chance of survival if they got a defib on him within 2 minutes. 

 

 

All we need is hope. I just want hope he's ok

Rather than wait for the NFL to do something rational and humane, perhaps the Bills and Bengals should agree to settle the outcome by coin toss. Simple, fair, and would have the fringe benefit of quieting people like Skip who can be counted on to spout nonsense under any circumstance. 

[Canadian Bills Fan]

Please God let him live...

 

[Fleezoid]

I'm sad beyond words. I just heard he's in critlial condition which gives me hope! I really thought the worst!

Makes me sick.

Nah.  You can handle this anyway you want.  This isn't mathematics or physics, where you can't break the rule.

 

There are MANY ways this could play out.

 

The honorable and easy thing would be for both teams to take a loss as a mutual forfeit.

WGR550 reports DH intubated, in critical condition at UC hospital.

 

If he can’t breathe on his own, he needs to be intubated and on a respirator, which means his condition needs a critical status.

 

I have been there at a loved one’s side, respiratory arrest, tube down her throat, on a ventilator.  

The next afternoon she was extubated and breathing on her own.

 

Pray for a like outcome for Damar Hamlin

I honestly think he’s saying what many are- it’s a huge game, but it doesn’t matter in comparison 

 

it read clumsy but I genuinely think he was trying to say the right thing.

[chongli]

 

[Alphadawg7]

Reports are out on Twitter from some reporters:

 

He is intubated, has a pulse but not breathing on his own, and in critical condition.  

[CincyBillsFan]

If it's true that the NFL wanted to resume play after a 5 minute break then McDermitt & Taylor having balked at that may have saved the NFL.

 

IMO the only path froward is to call it a non contest and the Bills/Bengals would only play 16 games. They would use winning percentage to figure out playoff seedings. KC would get the #1 seed with a win next week while the Bills/Bengals would get the #2 & #3 seeds respectively if they win out. The Bengals would still win their division by beating Baltimore. I see no other solution and while it potentially hurts the Bills & Bengals a bit it pales in comparison to what happened tonight.

Should the Bills/Bengals play each other in the playoffs the game would be played on a neutral field.

Godspeed young man! Prayers are with you Damar Hamlin!

it may be but I didn't see a hit like that.  Either way, lack of spontaneous breathing suggests brainstem injury either as a result of the rhythm problem or the underlying cause of his collapse.  Again, there are other possibilities.

[streetkings01]

I’m gonna take some melatonin, go to bed and hopefully hear some great news about Hamlin in the morning 🙏🏾

Yeah, the timing and circumstance of this is as complicated as it can be. This isn't a Week 4 game between mediocre teams.

 

Again, all that matters is Hamlin's health and I pray he's okay, but this was a game with multibillion dollar implications. I'm gutted for Hamlin, his family, and the entire Bills community.

 

Seeing those guys show emotion like they did really, really hit me. Diggs openly weeping. Allen with his hands to his face. Guys on their knees just praying and praying and praying.

 

Just an unforgettable experience. I'm gonna be up all night praying for some good news.

THATS OUR COACH!!!

[Franco_92]

I was worried to see the ambulance, but optimistic that it was a standard precautionary thing we see for neck injuries, that usually turn out to be just caution

 

Then the camera showed Josh Allen in a panic that you don't see on someone except for on some of the worst days of your life

 

That will be seared in my brain forever

 

Keep fighting like hell Damar
