It was established years ago and we don't know for sure if it is still active or whether it is something Hamlin is still currently invloved with or whether he ahs a differecnt preference

it’s like whack-a-mole now. If it makes field people feel better… 🤷🏻 it is what it is.

I had actually completely forgotten about that break.

During gulf war 1 in 1990 or 91 they skipped the 2 was and made it a one week break. That was the Bills Giants super bowl.

For anyone criticizing or questioning why the Bills (or at least, most of them) would fly back to Buffalo...remember they planned to fly back tonight, not stay in a hotel. Consider the 53 active players + inactives + coaches + trainers and equipment and press...must be 100 people. How are you going to book rooms for 100 people, surely at multiple hotels, and move all the stuff and deal with the fact no one packed to stay...and for what? They cannot go to the hospital. They want to be near family and each other and pray and wait for news.  They're in an unprecedented situation as a team and will deal with it as best they can. 

Yeah, true.  But it’s easier and perversely fun to just throw stones with an iPad while sitting on the sofa.

In all respects, football is entertainment, I genuinely hope he is not only ok, but able to carry on with his life in a planned respect.  I’m scared to death for him and his family,  I can’t imagine the pain his family is dealing with.  Prayers to him and his family.

Why would Bills players still be at the stadium?

There is no way at all they play tomorrow.

 

yep. and This game is not getting made up imo. The NFL season moves on.  it’s not stopping for Buffalo and Cincinnati to fit a game in on short rest.  The next game will be vs NE and i think the NFL will figure out a fair 3 way tie breaker if necessary. or call this game a tie, or a forfeit.  

Doesn’t really matter, i think we all agree just get our guy up and out of the hospital.

Was at the game. Worst thing I've ever witnessed in person. It's hard to put it into words. Very somber walk out of the stadium, fans not speaking as we walked through The Banks & across the bridge to the hotels in Kentucky (last 24 hrs it was nothing but "Go Bills" & "Who Dey!" Going back and forth). Every fan in the stadium seemed to feel the game should be cancelled. Football doesn't matter very much right now. Just hope Hamlin's ok. I'm not sure how the players can go back out and play after this now or next week or again this season frankly. If Hamlin's ok that's all that matters. 🙏

yolo so many unprecedented things in one season for one football team to have had to have gone through within their community in one year.  What with the Tops shooting, 2 snow events and now this. horrible freakish injury. I have no doubt that the team at this point is very much like we are. Just in shock, devastated for one of our own.  The most we can all do is extend as much love and positivity and prayers for Mr Hamlin to fully recover. A human life trumps a football game 100% of the time. and I never meant to infer otherwise.  I'm praying for he, his family, friends, teammates all of that.   Buffalo STRONG

 

@leh-nerd skin-erd

Don’t forget Danes gruesome injury, Hyde’s spinal injury and Knox’s brothers death. Yeah it’s been a brutal season

 His fundraiser just went over $1,000,000. Awesome job Bills fans!!!

Maybe based on the flight and everything they’re waiting out until the normal time they’d have left to go to the airport? Just speculation.

True. I'll just say that there's no protocol for this. It's a violent game of high speed collisions between big athletic young men, and thank God this particular circumstance has never arisen before. So it's fair to criticize, but I'm not interested in creating villains here out of what was a horrible accident. At some later point it's time to have a discussion again about player safety and whether simple tweaks to the rules are enough. We've seen a few really shocking injuries on the field this year and I'm starting to wonder whether this sport is just unavoidably unsafe at the professional level.

Not saying it makes it any better, but there are careers out there where people do die more often than you’d think not to mention long term disability/ailments. At the end of the day, just as in football, people sign up for this stuff. I can’t ever think of a football player dying from playing football and what we say tonight appears to be a freak occurrence. How many years how football been around? The game is safe than it’s ever been, this game isn’t going anywhere and rightfully so.

They could just not have a week off between the Championship Games and the Super Bowl

They aren't changing the whole NFL schedule for one game.  They likely had contingency plans from COVID for a team that could not play all its games. They will reference that and just play 16 games.

Totally speculating, but seeing as they were planning to go home afyer the game, they may not have anywhere to go. Maybe the team is trying to find a hotel or wait for their flight home
