Didn’t look good with his getting up and just collapsing.

CPR for nine minutes.

Wondered what happened. Glad I didn't see it. Hope he pulls through somehow.

They maybe should not continue this game. Especially if the Bills player has passed away.

Suspended.

The hit was hard but fairly routine looking.

Not sure if that's good or bad.



Edit:

I don’t either.
You’d think they’d try to get him out to the hospital ASAP though right?

That was my thinking as well.

What a tragic event. I have no idea how the Bills can be expected to continue this game.

If that tweet is real, I feel he’s gotta be stable. They’d be rushing him to the hospital.

Yikes, so scary. Not sure how they resume this tonight.

Come back tomorrow and try again.

Takes a shoulder to the chest, nothing that doesn't happen every game. KU's Skinner got hit way harder than that.

Gets to his feet and then just drops like a tree. Scary.

They should take that video offline and stop it from being shared. That may be a video of him dying.

I agree…or rather, maybe I just agree that I don’t want it on here.
I’m going to respectfully remove that tweet.

Call it.
Figure it out tomorrow.

Man, that's crazy. I really hope that young man can survive this and recover.

I remember being horrified by Chuck Hughes' death as a kid. It is a different world now, thank God. I remember them finishing the game in 1971 IIRC. It was late in the game and I was a kid, but it seemed pretty callous at the time to me. And that was the replay I watched.

Hamlin has such a great story too. A lot like Sneed on KC. A couple of things: players are getting hit too hard again. Yesterday's Chiefs game had some spearing and blindside takedowns. Juju against the Jags. Add in long COVID, which is a blood disease not fully understood, and we are in some unknown territory.

It sure does seem more and more players are getting seriously injured these days.

Could be some unknown underlying conditions in this instance....but still, general point remains.

Hearing this morning that he is still in critical condition is somewhat relieving. I was so fearful that we would be waking up to news that it had taken an even further turn for the worse.

Read an article by David Chao, a former NFL Team Doc and he said one of most reassuring thing was that the ambulance waited for Hamlin's mom to get on the ambulance, which meant that he was stabilized.

It seems like all signs are improving, relatively speaking. The only thing we haven't heard about yet is brain activity or anything like that, which is scary. But the oxygen and AED and CPR almost immediately happening helps the chances tremendously.

Saw a lot of people freaking out about intubating him, wife is an RN, and she has told me in the past that people don't realize how common it is for someone to be intubated. Especially when they need the body to be shut down and resting.

I am seeing Commotio Cordis as the most plausible explanation. See that mostly in baseball. Really terrific work by the EMR staff in Cinnci.

I was worried about blood clots because of the bruising these guys take every week. For folks who have recovered from COVID, it would still be a good idea to do frequent checks for abnormal pain along with blood thinners.
