[Playoffs?]

Van Pelt and Clark are really doing a tremendous job navigating us all through this right now.

They're currently playing out different scenarios. If Hamlin is stable tomorrow morning, this game will be played this week. 

 

Agree but certainly not decided until more is known about his condition. So rather than stay in limbo, it would make sense for the Bills players to go home.

They’ll continue the game imo…bills will probably fly back out there.  Maybe they’ll push the bills pats Sunday game back a bit.  

I had someone very close to me go into full cardiac arrest for over 12 minutes.  He was put into a medically induced coma, intubated and cooled.  2 days later he was up and walking around his hospital room and he's gone on to make a full recovery.  Based on what we're hearing now, I'm hoping we hear similarly good news by tomorrow afternoon.  If that's the case, Bills could be finishing this game on Wednesday morning.  Then move the final week games to Monday.

he is under a medically induced coma and likely will be under for 24 hrs.

 

even if his vitals sre stable we don’t know about hear damage or any other damage from a lack of oxygen.

from his agent/friend. No link, but he mentions the toy drive which is the charity being shared.

 

 

 

Thanks man.

I was really struggling with how to deal with that one.

I'm not surprised at all - completely respect both the Bengals and Bills for calling it as it was- if true the NFL reaction reminds me of stuff I was exposed to in the military during drills and seeing ***** happen and just had to push through - giant difference that was training for war not to play a *****in football game- disgusted and I think it's time to hang it up

I haven't posted, but I have been reading and following along everything in this thread.  Like most of you, I was shook by what I saw and this thread was helpful for me to process it all.  You guys are great.

 

Just as the Bills and Bengals players came together over this, we should as well.  Everybody probably needs a little more grace tonight.

 

I'm going to bed.  Thanks again, everyone.

I assume he had a blocked / brokn trachea which would block his airflow which would eventually stop his heart. They restarted his heart and then would need airflow restarted. Many trauma nurses on Twitter have said this is recoverable BUT the big question is how long his brain and organs went without oxygen and what damage is done. It’s not likely that will be known for days so I doubt they will be playing tomorrow either which means the teams likely won’t can’t play this game this week.

I hate to bring up the prospect of playing this game but I think the obvious solution is to push the playoffs back a week, play this game in 2 weeks and lose the 2 week break between the Conference title games and the Super Bowl.

I think that's a garbage report.  Buses haevn't even picked them up from the stadium yet and Diggs ubered to the hospital

Even if they were not playing till after Sundays game, I wouldn’t expect anyone one on the  Bills would want to leave right away. They ALL would want to be there for their brother and his family.

For. Those who want coverage. Wgrz app for Roku has live coverage and Dr cho is on right now.

Hamlin is fighting for his life right now. Believe in the power of positive thinking / prayer / have faith he will live. Football can wait.

I had actually completely forgotten about that break.

I feel for you.  You did the right thing until it being confirmed.  I just found this from Channel 7 in Buffalo if that helps.
