Process Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 2 minutes ago, Donuts and Doritos said: 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. 🙏 From TV it appeared fans at the stadium acted with class 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 15 minutes ago, Locomark said: 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. Very unlikely. This is classic cardiac arrhythmia from blunt chest trauma. Just bad luck. The intubation is just to control the airway and is part of a prolonged resuscitation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the easy explanation is that their flight doesn’t leave until 1:30am and they don’t have anywhere else to go. Just have to wait for the bus to take them to the airport.

Sierra Foothills Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 4 minutes ago, LOVEMESOMEBILLS said: His fundraiser just went over $1,000,000. Awesome job Bills fans!!! Based on the discussion here with the Scott and Simon, I think I'm going to wait to see if a fund is established for Damar. It's quite possible one will be established. 5 minutes ago, BillsFanSD said: Why would Bills players still be at the stadium? The game didn't start until 5:30... an average NFL game lasts about 3 hours. Then the team has to shower, pack, and go to the airport. At this time (11:46 pm) the team would normally still be at the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same feeling I have right now… not saying it’s what they’re experiencing… but this is how I remember feeling. I haven’t moved since it happened… I’m distraught… similar to how they described the Bills sideline after the ambulance left. You just get lost and don’t want to move. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is intubated, it’s standard procedure that they’re heavily sedated. Otherwise you feel something stuck in your throat and your reflex is to gag and cough and try to rip it out. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) 41 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Hard disagree. I think it is a good bit of information and I’ve seen many other doctors discuss this (with less detail and explanation) on Twitter as the most likely scenario too. Doesn’t mean it’s for sure what happened, but it’s unquestionably a real possibility and something most of us never knew was possible or heard of. Too soon for anyone to give "opinions" on what they saw. Someone always has to try to be the first person to be right to get done cred.
