They have to I mean, they don't. I think they should and will but the players are grown adults who don't have to do anything they don't want to.

If this happened with someone you worked with that you were close to, you have to go back to work, right? You may not be up for it, or wanna do it, but bottom line is, you have to.

But it's the players who have the actual power here even if the team gets punished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The priority is on supporting their brother, but will return to business. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I think the Bills will play. If they chose not to, I wouldnt have a problem with it. Who am I to judge or be mad at a team that pretty much just watched their brother die on the field and is currently fighting for his life in the hospital. Thats a lot of trauma to witness and everyone reacts handles those emotions differently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will. But nobody HAS to do anything. But the odds of someone quitting over that probably won't happen. And the Bills as a team can't just quit going to work. Maybe the whole nfl should just shut down. This is insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In literally a 2 week time frame this all has to be decided. How would they proceed with the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I was listening to Booger on TV, and he was saying that if he was a current teammate, he would not suit up for an NFL football game again until there was 100% assurance that Damar was going to be fine. He said it’s too much emotion in a game and he would not be in the mindset to play now. So if we assume even a fraction of the current Bills feel like this, they legitimately could decide not to play. And Troy Vincent i believe indicated that McDermott was having a very difficult time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the league has smart enough people to figure how to deal with that extremely unlikely scenario. The fact that you don’t like that happening or can’t fathom what would happen, if it did, doesn’t mean they can’t figure out a solution.

BillsFanSD Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 14 minutes ago, WotAGuy said: It’s not so much that they won’t eventually move on, it’s anonymous posters telling them what they “need” to do and how soon they “need” to do it. It’s hilarious actually. Even if the player agreed with what you’re saying they would still make sure you know your opinion of what they need to do doesn’t matter. I doubt that too. Professional football players are human beings, just like you and me. Very adults would be wiling to say "I know you saw somebody on fire from a car accident, but my trauma is worse than yours." Like, not a soul would say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
