Best of thoughts for Damar Hamlin
Sad example of how delicate even the strongest of us are. Could not imagine a scene and a resolution that showed a true example of sportsmanship and caring for all on the field. The reactions and views had me crying with them.
I can't believe he will play again, but praying he can recover to live a full life and move on to more accomplishments.

Totally agree, he seems like a really good guy too . One the flip side, The NFL apparently declaring the game to resume 5 mins later and then lying about it is not a great look

What a harrowing scene. Hope he pulls through.

They did the right thing in the end. I don't think an NFL game has ever been stopped while already started and postponed before, outside of a severe weather issue maybe...so this is progress of some sort. |

One far cry from the disgust I had watching a classless Kayvon Thibodeaux celebrate with snow angels next to an injured Nick Foles, then mocking him with sleeping gestures for taking him out of the game. I was so proud as a Lions fan we took the right guy with class in Hutch. This, although sad, brought back some faith in humanity.

That guy is Vontaze Burfict in the making. He's been a clueless moron for awhile.

Buff's my team.
Nothing like this has ever happened before, so it's hard to find fault with the NFL's supposed reaction ('Let's continue playing again in 5-10 minutes'), because the assumption was it was a 'normal' injury, so he'd be safely carted to the locker room and the game would resume. I'm no fan of the stupidly woke NFL, but come on now, they did the right thing. The fact Hamlin received CPR on the field was heartbreaking and scary as hell. The millions of us watching the game should feel lucky that the TV cameras didn't capture that horror. Thank God for the skilled medical personal there!!! Heroes!!!!

Safties, Cornerbacks and Receivers don't really wear much protection, as there role is speed. I wonder if flack jackets similar to but higher on the torso than those used by quarterbacks, would provide enough protection to avoid an injury such as this in the future.

Love the Bills. Feel like a lot of class was shown by both teams and now by all teams. The NFL didn’t screw up a scary and unprecedented situation so a rare rip of the cap to the home office. I’m just hoping he pulls through like everyone else. I have a good hunch and hope I’m not proven wrong.

This was a possibly unique and evolving situation, I don't think the league handled it badly, there is a long presumption from history that like the arena in Rome the game goes on even if men are hurt or hurt badly. As events evolved it became clear that this time players and coaches weere in a different frame of mind, and the league respected that.
