I thought Van Pelt and Clark were good last night.
But now guys like Stephen A, Foxworth and Spears have gone moronic. Foxworth on a soapbox about making the game more safe and players need to be compensated more because they put their bodies and lives on the line each week. **** off.

There are people who do that every day of their lives knowing the inherent risks of their occupations and do so in good faith. Last night was tragic and call it what it was – a fluke occurrence. For these clowns to hedge ”woe is me” for playing a game that they choose to play is just reprehensible.

Hoping for the best regarding Hamlin and a full recovery.

Probably waiting for some good news to drop on Hamlin before making the announcement.

That's what I'm thinking. How do you tell the Bills they have to play, when they haven't heard whether their teammate is expected to make a recovery or not.

they might not know that for days or weeks

go out and play and get it over with

if you can't, you don't have to play

the world doesn't stop for days on end because someone goes to the hospital

It's probably too hard to make that determination yet. The games need to be played.

Agreed. What happened sucks, but life goes on and you can't hold a multibillion dollar industry hostage over it. Play the game this week or forfeit the game. Period. Obviously in the world we now inhabit there will be tons of backlash against it, but these guys get paid a lot of money to do their jobs, so they should do their jobs or pay the price.

So many of these guys like to think of themselves as warriors. Well, warriors don't stop fighting because one guy goes down.

They are probably worried a little about the optics of whatever they decide.
People will be outraged no matter what they do.

It surely wasn't decided on the field, nope. I am just saying given the circumstances it comes down to you can effect the entire league or just the two teams playing. I look at it like a freak accident that unfortunately happened to the Bills, no different that if your QB goes down or another key player and you lose the game. Is it unfair to the Bills? Yes, but give them the option to play tomorrow night and if they do not then the the record should stand as it is. Seems much simpler and the least unfair thing to all parties.

That I think is an easier path forward than changing the entire playoff dynamic. There would be so many more questions doing that than the former.

I'm sure the league is waiting as long as they possibly can before announcing a decision.

Announcing the game is rescheduled to Thursday only to have an announcement of a negative prognosis an hour later would cause a feeding frenzy and possibly draw into question their decision to play it at all.

There are more dangerous professions that pay far, far less than the average NFL salary.

Dumbasses.

Nevermind that this likely had nothing to do with what occurred in the game.

this situation is a bandaid that needs to be ripped off

For sure, I know one thing is that there is silence on this then the more likely its just a no game happened and goes to win percentage. They are running out of time.

Sadly, it’s not unexpected to hear all the self-serving pontification when tragedies like this happen. There are people that don’t truly understand the import of “Don’t let a good crisis go to waste.” Now is not the time for virtue signaling. The echo chamber is going to get louder until the next news cycle.

Sadly, this is the truth. A number of years ago, my boss died of an aneurysm during a meeting with 4-5 people at work. I was out of the office for my grandfather’s funeral, but I got a call from a co-worker. It was a chaotic scene for everyone in the department. The company allowed our department to go home for the day, but everyone had to go back to work the next day.

When Darryl Kile died, the Cardinals didnt play that day but were back at it the next.
