Seems legit. Lots of big time people retweeting it.  Looks like Jordan is hamlins  and marketing agent. 

The guy has an agency page that listed Hamlin as a client even prior to today 
 

it would be a weird long con to fraudulently do that and never be noticed for an extended stretch… just to do this?

100% heartbreaking. Would not surprise me at all to see him walk away from football.

Just told a buddy the exact same thing.

I think the haunted look on Josh's face will stay with me the longest out of everything. Think that was the gut wrenching moment when the seriousness really hit home.

Yes. Tre was a mess too.

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” 

No problem, I have been corrected.  But being "put to sleep" jarred me.

Good for the Bills to take control and get out of town.

The league didn't leave it to them.

The league's response was to resume the game after a 5 minute delay.

 

Not sure how closely you are following this on ESPN but this point is fairly clear from the reporting there.

 

The players/teams/coaches then told the league "NO, we are not playing again tonight."

 

I don't see anything on ESPN site saying this.  We heard Buck say something like this very early in the incident.  

 

I'm sure there's more to this unprecedented sequence of events than your post has grasped....

I kind of feel the same way. Those guys always put the dollar first, so they're easy to criticize. But I had my own denial about the situation tonight, for awhile.  I kept thinking he'd pop back up, and then I thought we'd see one of those "thumbs up" signs if he was carted off or something.

 

It really took me awhile to grasp how bad this is, even after seeing some of the players looking pretty shaken up.  

Completely agree. I too was (foolishly) expecting that thumbs-up sign by Damar.
 

This was a crisis situation. People that have never been involved in these types of situations don’t appreciate how fluid they are and also how mistakes can be made by really Sophisticated people and organizations.

WOW!  I'm sorry but being "put to sleep" seems an inappropriate choice of words in this situation, regardless of where it came from.

I get what you’re saying, and we’re all very upset right now, so it doesn’t take much to set us off. That’s the reason why I asked the question about with the proper verbiage me a medically induced coma.

Imagine being this trauma care team. You know they were watching the Bengals game on during their shift. And seeing an injury happen live that you know you are about to save his life………… 

I think you have no idea what working in a busy hospital is like, they aren't sitting around watching tv.

[jethro_tull]

this team is so close, man i am so proud of them 

[aristocrat]

So does this game get played week after next? The Super Bowl and playoffs all a week later?

How many times have we watched players stretchered off the field only to have the game resumed in a minute or two?  Not sure why people are so hard on the league here; I guess because it's a Bill.

 

Christ, when Ryan Shaziar had his career ended, he was carted off the field unable to move his body from neck down.

The game resumed in a few minutes.

 

 

I’d normally agree…but how often has a player gotten his jersey cut off and received an AED and had cpr performed for 8 minutes.  There is just not really any precedence for this situation in football…even including the grisly neck injuries.  This was on another level entirely 

 

even a minute or two slower response and Hamlin could’ve died on the field…this was an absolute crisis situation

I think it's like my local racetrack, they put it on after their regular schedule for the races. So we will play after the super bowl for a makeup game

 

 

I mean, I kid, but a little tiny humor isn't awful. I just hate that we would play in back to back weeks like that.

It might not be as bad as some are making it sound,  but the head office absolutely was consulted and told the player was down on the field getting cpr and it took them quite a bit of time to call the game at best (for the nfl). 
 

They still come out looking pretty bad even with maximum benefit of the doubt imo 

 

Yep. At very best they were slow reacting. And I get it was a fast moving confusing picture but there was a senior league official in attendance. I don't necessarily criticise the time it took to officially announce that they called the game... but there should never have been a question of the game continuing from the moment "CPR on the field" became the reality. That is the point where they were slow to react.

Prayers up for Damar!

I don't see any info coming out tonight. Probably noon time tomorrow. Sucks, but hopefully mid-day tomorrow is a good-news day. Don't care about the schedule moving forward. We're in the playoffs!

There's over 50 of just the players they can't exactly sit in the waiting room.

Would cpr be effective in the case of an aortic rupture/dissection.

No, because you would bleed out internally within a minute or two depending on the severity.

Especially when you had Booger, Adam and Suzy pleading for the game to be called. I’m not buying the league didn’t know how serious it was when Booger who is not at the stadium barely wanted to talk about it. I do think the league would have reacted faster if this was a 1:00PM Sunday game instead of a marquee Monday Night game, but that’s just my opinion.

For what reason? What good can they do there?

 

Right now they probably want to hug their partners, their parents, their kids. Thank goodness Damar's mother was at the stadium today, but quite a few family members wouldn't have been. Get them away from where it happened, get them back where they belong and take stock.

[PatsFanNH]

I know our teams are rivals just wanted come here and say I hope he ends up making a full recovery. I am also glad to see the Bengals and Bills both agreed to postpone the rest of the game. IMO someone else could have gotten hurt on either side because they were no longer focused on the game, and rightfully so! 
 

Again I pray for a quick and full recovery…

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

Just so your aware fans hate other teams/players. The players for the most part love eachother. Sure some may not get along, just like some of us wouldn't get along. But for the most part they love and respect eachother.

No, it won’t be replayed. There’s no extra time and they aren’t delaying playoffs.  just call it a tie or forfeit. figure out a tie breaker that’s fair for all 3 teams, whatever. 

Just as long as our guy can get out of the hospital and be normal again.  that’s all that matters in grand scheme.

So you think the game should have been played after a player had cpr administered to him on the field. Gotcha
