I agree. It still seems may be a little odd to wait after you’ve resuscitated someone.

My guess, based on almost no information is that he had an arrhythmia after the hit, and they were able to cardiovert him, and now he is stable enough to wait

Could be an option I suppose.

Or he's already gone.

how hard can you get hit in a car wreck before your heart dislodges

I was at the game and it was brutal to watch.

AED and CPR ****ing christ

Lack of news makes me think it's bad news. Awful

Not the last week of the season but still a good point

Just heard his mother is in three crowd and they try are getting her to the ambulance to ride with him

I actually kind of agree. also the president is weird.

I mean if the guy died, all bets are off though.

but if he lives , I think they play it because otherwise rhe precident is odd.. stop.the game for some injuries? some players? some weeks? what exactly?

they were slow to the hospital with dale because he was dead as hell

Has a pulse not breathing on his own

That's my thinking as well.

They can’t play two games the same weekend.

Yeah, it’s not worth it. Iirc, the same thing happened with Reggie Lewis. I believed they both had a similar heart condition that caused it.

Aw ****. It's could be for her to decide whether life support is appropriate or not.

Bigger than a game guys.

At the end of the day, I love to hate the Bills and Bengals.

But the rivalries are fun and the games bring joy to all of our lives. Fans of all three teams love the battle and love the game.

Prayers for Demar Hamlin and the Buffalo Bills family.

Please god let this young man be ok.

Bad sign. Doing CPR again? You don't stop to wait on mom after rescuscutating someone. I wonder if that is why they pulled teams off the field. May have gotten word he flattened again and dodnt want to tell teams in oublic

I missed it as I was channel hoping. I think that was a blessing not to see that.

Wouldn’t be many better places to have an issue than the field of an NFL game. Doctors and medical personnel right there on standby, AED immediately available.

yeah. I don't think they would stop.this or leave the field if he made it.

With CPR being administered, that takes this do a different level when trying to compare to other times players have been seriously hurt and the game was continued.

This is no way the players can play tonight after this unless they get some great news about Damar Hamlin’s health.

Crazy, bagging someone in the back of an ambulance while you wait for his mom to get out of the stadium

The heart doesn’t dislodge. It becomes an electrical issue. His heart stopped, either from ventricular fibrillation (most likely) or asystole.

Sounds like twitter rumor bullshit.

That is a good sign if they are waiting for his mom. You aren't stopping if he isn't stable

Nothing really weird about it until he just fell over

I dont see how the Bills can play after this...

What the heck causes that?

That would explain the long CPR, though. That's a long time for the brain to be without blood.

That really makes no sense.

I’m not trusting Twitter here.

The kid could be dead, ****

this is going to change football. Lowering your head as an offensive player has to ejectable offense

His brain wasn’t without blood. They were doing CPR.

Damn dude could end up a vegetable :(

Hate to speculate having a pulse is good but who knows what rhythm the heart was in. 9 min CPR is not good

Thank you Pat. Class act.

Shit. Not good. But maybe not the worst either. Damn, just sucks for that kid. And his family. The terror is just awful.

I know this a somewhat insensitive question. But let’s say the game is postponed. Does the score stay the same when they play again

A freak arrhythmia after taking a hit to the chest

I think times are different and generations of football players are different. CTE has increased awareness of the cost of the game to one's future. Millennials and Gen Z have a different attitudes toward work, and put more emphasis on their life outside of work (football). Not a bad thing, in my opinion.

It may not be head related.

Could be cardiovascular.

Right now? Nobody does except the NFL.

I'm not sure there's precedent for this.

I don't think this is anything related to the hit.

To me, it seems like a Hank Gathers esque random cardiac episode.

But that's obviously pure speculation.

There was nothing bad at all about it. He just collapsed after getting up after a tackle.

I've watched football (like most people in this forum) for 30+ years. I've never in my life seen any shit like this.

Joe danneman from fox cincy has up to date info on Twitter

Option 1: Move the game until tomorrow night. Then Bills/Pats and Cinci/Ravens moves to Monday night next week.

Option 2: Forfeit

If he was defibrillated and had CPR, it’s serious as ****.

My hope is that it was a jolt to the sternum that caused his heart to stop. Or maybe it will be the incident that reveals Hamlin had a congenital anomaly that finally surfaced after that hit

Its the lack of oxygen in the blood if he wasn’t breathing.

Blood circulation is one step, but without oxygen it is still extremely concerning.

Ambulance off to UC

Which is?

That’s great news. He must have normal sinus’s rhythm and communicaties correctly to the EMT. Under no circumstance would you stop to wait on family if the patient is in immediate medical need.

I just want to scream at these talking heads to SHUT THE **** UP.

My assumption was that all these players got echocardiograms during physicals

Yes

Has to. You just restart the game in the same spot. Bigger question for me is when the hell are they gonna play it? Tomorrow? Wednesday? Are they gonna just push out the whole season by a week?

Phone is tough to embed ambulance just left stadium has pulse not breathing in his own

No shot they push the season out

Buddy in attendance is texting friends for updates from the tv coverage

Doesn’t really know what’s going on or what to do

Can’t imagine being there

yes. everything stays the same. time, score , etc

I mean I talked shit and hoped for a tie but not like this. Unless there's good news they need to cancel and let the league figure out what to do.

the nfl has to have some kind of contingency plan but you can't ask them to play even if Hamlin's okay

9 min of CPR is very bad..

Commotio cordis is likely diagnosis
Shit. Prayers.

Makes the most sense just to play tomorrow night and resume the game, but then these teams both get short weeks.

The most common cause of non traumatic cardiac arrest in athletes is a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy / VFIB. I wonder if they screen all these high level athletes.

You do realize it’s their job right?

Or just make it an incomplete game.

No win or loss, just 16 games.

I don't know nor care who that benefits.

That had him on O2 while doing compressions. Any dufus would know that.

What are they supposed to do?

Most likely.

I know, I just need to mute it.

The media hates God until someone needs prayer.


That said, they have a difficult job tonight.

Reminds me of the Pronger situation probably 15 years ago. Puck to the chest, hit the wrong spot, created an arrhythmia and put him into cardiac arrest. My memory is they zapped him on the ice to revive him but he made a full recovery and had a hall of fame career.
