I wish they'd just call the game. I pray for the player, his family, and all those impacted.
Bills v Bengals game/Damar Hamlin thread
- Thread starter laKavosiey-st lion
- Start date
I understand the gravity of the injury and I pray for this young man to recover. I’m not being callous here, I’m just thinking about what precedent is being set if the game is canceled? Will a broken arm or leg, severe concussion or some other injury qualify for the cancellation of an NFL game. I think it’s a legit question.
The poor kid died on the field and needed intervention just to make it to the hospital. You’re way off with your comparison.
Well, those things have not stopped games in the past so this is a silly question.
On field cpr on national tv is a precedent we can live with.
No.....this young man is not breathing on his own. You couldn't force either team to play until they hear he is stable. This isn't a broken leg. It's life and death.
Not often is a broken arm life threatening, a bit of an extraordinary circumstance. Even with Adam Taliafarro he was conscious and stable.
seems to be the correct move by the NFL
Damar is from McKees Rocks. Went to Pittsburgh Central Catholic. By all accounts a terrific guy.
In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa.
More information:
Hamlin created The Chasing M's Foundation in 2020. The foundation's first program was a toy drive in 2020, in which he purchased toys with funds raised on GoFundMe, for Kelly and Nina's Daycare Center in his hometown, McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. Hamlin also donates clothes from his brand, Chasing M's, and toys in Buffalo and Pittsburgh areas.
According to Chasing M's, the clothing brand's website, it is "for those who have a dream and pursue it... It is for those who want something more and can't settle to be average." Hamlin donates clothes from his brand and toys in Buffalo and Pittsburgh areas.

This guy is a business associate. Hopefully, he has good info and this is moving in a positive direction. That would be tremendous news if DH has cleared a hurdle. I have to say I got a little queasy watching and had to turn it off.
True. He said that he is DSs marketing rep so hopefully his info is solid.
Damar Hamlin's toy drive raises more than $1.8M hours after his injury
Ryan MillerRochester Democrat and Chronicle
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has received support from across the world after his life-threatening injury on Monday Night Football. A two-year-old toy drive fundraiser Hamlin started raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in less than an hour.
Fans donated in droves to Hamlin's "The Chasing M's Foundation Community Toy Drive" page on GoFundMe. The fundraiser was from 2020 with an initial goal of $2,500.
As of 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, it was up to $1.8 million.
"As I embark on my journey to the NFL, I will never forget where I come from and I am committed to using my platform to positively impact the community that raised me. I created The Chasing M's Foundation as a vehicle that will allow me to deliver that impact, and the first program is the 2020 Community Toy Drive," Hamlin wrote at the time.
This campaign gives you the opportunity to contribute to our first initiative and positively impact children who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. 100% of the funds raised will go toward the purchase of toys for kids in need ... Thank you so much for supporting me on and off the field. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with you to help make the holiday season a little brighter for the kids in our community."
Hamlin suffered a horrid injury after making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals at 8:55 p.m. on Monday Night Football. First responders tended to Hamlin on the field, giving him CPR and taking him in an ambulance at 9:25 p.m. to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The NFL said he is in critical condition.
not criticizing the decision at all, expecting the players to play right after that happened would be brutal. Will be interesting to see what the League does now because of all of the playoff implications. I don't think there will be time for a make up game.
You play last nights game tonight or tomorrow. Then they play their week 18 games on Monday.

they ain't playing another game this week....You think one night is sufficient? The reason why they didn't postpone the game immediately is because while the decision not to play last night seemed like a no brainer (it was for the short term), but the consequences for playoff seeding and matchups is anything but clear. Pretty much whatever the league does will have negative consequences for one team....
They can’t do that due to playoff seeding. That would definitely screw over a few teams.
If logistically possible, push everything back a week but keep Super Bowl on same date. I hate the 2 week lag after the Conference Championships anyway.
Will NFL reschedule postponed Bills vs. Bengals game? ‘Nothing in consideration right now,’ exec says
Monday night's game was suspended after a Bills player collapsed on the field. Here's what we know about where the NFL is going from here.

I have no clue. Buffalo flew home this morning. Sounds like this game could be scrubbed now.
I would think it would be a no contest and they would use winning % for seeding purposes
I hope the board joins me in a prayer for Damar Hamlin and all who love him. You guys jumped to the rescue for my father, I believe we can do it for him.
Shalom

What if the real game actually ended in a tie? Which it could have so there are contingencies for this already.
The odds of that happening are astronomical. And that’s why you have to play the game to the official conclusion.
If it happens, then so be it. But you can’t just declare a tie with 10 mins in game time left in Q1. Not at this point in the season with so much riding on the game’s outcome.
Perhaps the smartest way to do this is to wait until after week 18 and assess the playoff implications. You can then determine who gets screwed and how before deciding.
