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

[wakingfane]

Sounds like no surgery so that's a great sign

I don't post often, but if Hamlin officially dies, I would rather see the Bills end the season. Screw the playoffs and Superbowl.

I appreciate your sentiment. The team might want to play out for him

Reports are his vitals have returned to normal and he’s been put to sleep and intubated 

I can’t send the tweet but his marketing rep and close personal friend started this

[Jamie Nails]

From my ER doc friend- assuming the tweets about vitals is accurate 

 

He will be intubated overnight. Its normal. They will take him to the cathlab and put an implantable difibrillator. If he has a pulse now, he will be fine

 

lets hope and continue to pray

I’ve still got the vision in my mind of how shook the bills players were. You just knew that there was something very very wrong.

 

Yes it was horrific. I think in these situations when we know nothing we all think "oh, it's a knock, ,he will be fine" but when horrified expressions from the field suggest otherwise, the realisation of the severity of the incident really goes right through you.

Yeah they started showing the players and the panic was ***** terrifying.

If he is not basing his tweet on word from medical officials,  he needs to be fired.  At this point,  no one should speculate or make firm statements unless backed by medical staff of the UC hospital 

 

Maybe he is in touch with his family?

Was he on the field for the Shazier thing? Or is the timing out?

Prayers up.  I'm gutted but happy to see nfl community stand up.  

 

I have an off the wall prediction that Raiders and chiefs take a knee to a draw next week if this game becomes a draw tonight. 

Hopefully Hamlin is in stable condition and on the road to recovery by next week.  This team is talented enough to forfeit this game and next and still win the SB as a bottom seed.  Honestly, the season is an afterthought for me, just rooting for Damar to pull through.

I didn't see logic or facts, just pure speculation and innuendo, again imho

 

If you have some concrete facts, I'd love to hear them.

 

You're looking for an enemy to take your frustrations out on.  If that's how you have to deal, then have it.

As much as i cant stand the Chiefs, and Mahomes the player... he is a good dude.

That's a direct quote from his rep

[Neo]

I have no problem with any player, team, announcer, social media poster or league representative for any statement they’ve made about Hamlin, his injury, or the implications for the business.  This has been remarkably balanced with the emphasis on the important things in life.   I’ve heard nothing that wasn’t sympathetic, empathetic, sensitive or rational.  Life’s funny.   There’s not a playbook for everything.

[Dick_Cheney]

Ryan Clark with a fantastic monologue on ESPN.

I think I first noticed what looked like Tears in Mcd’s eyes.. I was more  worried and then Allen was in tears and his  look was something that will live with me for a long time. 

[OZBILLS]

Hug your family.

 

Send positive vibes

It was McDermott’s reaction for me. He’s always so calm no matter the situation.

 

He was visibly distraught.

Not sure but it sounded like he was injured and has lost organs

My brain is scattered as are most peoples i’m sure my apologies. But I guess his close personal friend and marketing rep tweeted “his vitals are back to normal and they have put him to sleep to put a breathing tube down his throat. They are currently running tests”

Ryan Clark. Played for the Steelers.

[DapperCam]

If it is true that he is actually okay and the players can feel assured in that, I wonder if they do the game tomorrow. It would have to be remarkably good news from the hospital to be possible.

how long of a delay do you think there was from when we the decision was made to us being told? We saw equipment packed up and players changing long before the statement. 

This is a wild guess but I think the bills were prepared to forfeit if needed so they started packing up their stuff first and Zac Taylor may have agreed to postpone the game.  Maybe the nfl left it up to the coaches or the coaches straight up decided they weren’t playing on their own so the nfl needed to come out with a statement that matched

 

Something definitely seems off here with the NFL’s response

Commentators have really been great tonight - Booger & Suzy, Aikman & Buck

It was good. Troy and buck didn’t try to fill quiet air and just kept silent Vs try to say things.

There are so many players irritated me as I thought they were arrogant, protected by the refs, just annoy for no reason ... but they're showing true class as a collective tonight.

Kudos Taylor McD ref probably fallowing the “guidelines” on 5 min then Taylor McD fixed. The bills have been thru too much. Gosh. 

 

I can tell you that the 5 minute thing almost certainly came from the NFL at 345 Park.

 

After "Bottlegate" (where Terry McAulay called a game early in Cleveland due to the crowd), on-field officials are instructed to contact New York and let them make the call.  That's almost certainly what happened here.

 

Shawn Smith has a good reputation in the NFL for doing the right thing and I suspect that Taylor, McD, and him were instrumental in postponing the game.  Goodell OTOH looks like a jackass.

Yea, to come back from commercial - I thought maybe a weird pinched nerve or I missed his head hitting…. And then seeing Josh followed by players crying was incredibly jarring that this was different 

[Bengals1]

Life long Bengals fan here just stopping in to lend my support and prayers. I hope everything goes well for Damar and Bills Nation. He and you fans are in my prayers. 

 

God Bless everyone. Stay strong.
