Cervical spine injury, interrupted sympathetic nervous system output, cardiac arrest. Hopefully not, but bad, bad shit.

wow. just wild...

it just didnt look like that bad of a hit

but wow

heart dislodged or

I don't think you continue the game at this point

Here's a suggestion.

How about you just shut the **** up and log off CP for the night?

Your takes are getting shitty old.

I'm just... upset..

I really hope he’s ok, but this reminds of what happened to Hank Gathers. Just awful.

I missed it, a player died on teh field I guess damn

What’s your problem?

Should PPD this game until they know more. But will they?

Some kid in HS took a fastball to the chest i don't know how many years ago and apparently it hit him in just the right spot, stopped his heart, and he ended up dying, iirc.

This is going to be some cringe coverage to fill time

Scariest shit I have seen since Dennis Byrd game against the Chiefs 30 years ago.

I don't know how you keep playing after that.

Prayers up for Hamlin.

100%

Aneurism?

Yeah that was bad.

This is horrible. I don’t think they should keep playing this game. All we can do is pray for him and hope like crazy that the doctors can help him.

This!!

:deevee: Pretty sad.

Hopefully they got his heart going again.

Just keep it on commercial

I'm not sure what else they can do.

You can’t.

Those situations occur when the ball hits the chest at just the right second during cardiac rhythms. If the heart has contracted at a certain point and the heart has expelled blood and the valves are closed (maybe open?) then a sharp blow to the chest will literally make the heart stop and it’s very difficult to bring someone back in that circumstance.

that’s why they’re doing CPR and why this is a very serious injury.

They typically don’t do CPR in an ambulance. Very difficult to use an AED, etc..

Both coaches shook hands there after speaking to refs. Must be being postponed.

jesus shit man what a ****ed up situation

like he wasnt doing anything crazy or dumb it looked like a normal hit.

I mean I know all the players know it's a violent sport and you can get injured on any play but I can't imagine what the players are going through seeing that.

really hope hamlin's okay but I don't think I've ever seen a player need CPR

I'd be surprised if they cancel unless the unthinkable happens. When Mike Utley got paralyzed the game continued. When that Bills player took the hit on a kickoff they continued the game. I think they continued after Chuck Hughes, though I'm not sure of that.

I'm not saying it's a good idea or a bad idea, but there's no precedent of suspending a game due to injury.

What a weird game, everyone all fired up then this. Not sure how but the game will probably go on. Pray the guy is ok.

Damn, that hit just didn't look that bad.

How do they play a game now??

Yep, it sure does. Terrible.

Harlan speculating on the continuance of the game

Scary stuff, prayers to him and his family. Hope he’s okay.

I know I’m out of the football mood. Can’t imagine his family, teammates, staff.
They need to postpone

Pretty sure they continued the game after the Shazier accident.

Get him in the ambulance and get the game going.

Hank Gathers died mid game.

I hope to God it isn’t like that.

Sure appears like it.

Unfortunately, it sounds like the cardiac arrest part could be true. I hope not as well.

I am not a doctor, but if he stood up after the hit, doesn’t seem like a Dennis Byrd, Mike Utley type paralysis situation.

His stagger and fall looked eerily like Hank Geathers.

They should call the game.

How are you going to make the Bills go back out there and play after watching one of their friends - someone they see and interact with and play with every day - almost die on the field?

why would you admin CPR if he’s got a heartbeat now?

Vince McMahon would have had them playing on the other side of the field.

CPR and IV access is something heart related awful awful. Hopefully it has the same outcome as Keyontae Johnson he collapsed during a game at Florida. Now plays for Kstate and is ballin

Imagine Higgins mental state.

Yeah, but if they were doing CPR, this guy was literally in cardiac arrest. Without intervention, he was dead

They might have to do lines of coke to continue.

I can't ****ing imagine trying to play this game

scrape em up so we can get the game back poppin'

You dude.

No, it's definitely not a concussion when said player did not use his helmet, and just collapsed, and resulted an ambulance on the field and having to administer 9 minutes of CPR.

I thought the question was why they didn’t just put them in an ambulance and resuscitate in route

I can't believe they're going to keep playing.

Sucks to have this game of this prop

Allen completely checked out, loser of this game will get a pass...and rightfully so.

I believe Hank fell down, got right back up, then collapsed in the same fashion.

A true follower of Jesus, I’m sure.

Let everybody warm up and get back to it.

Cancel the game. Both teams get a tie. It's not fair they should have to play this game.

Why? what else can they do?

Sorry, come back tomorrow?

Oh no can't ask these men to play

yes let's postpone the game because Graystoke of chiefs planet is out of the mood LOL

settle for a tie for each so we win

You can't keep playing if Hamlin's health is an unknown factor like this.

no way to really read lips

racing always has deaths and even then they don't keep racing

Yes, he must he regained a pulse or they would still have been doing CPR. That’s a good sign.

Midfield coaches meeting, they're gonna end this now

Wow. I don't know how they can continue this. They said he got oxygen when they loaded him on the bus, hopefully that means he's breathing and such.

Lord have mercy.

Pneuomothorax incident ugh

The NFL don’t care, just think about Tony Soprano, you know he would continue the game.

Are the Bills going to forfeit?

**** this game.

Just play it another time.

did they stop the game when shazier or whoever almost died in pittsburgh?

I can'r remember

Imagine being the player that laid the hit

Agreed, cannot imagine having to go back out and play after this.

yeah I don't see how they can continue the game.

imagine going back and doing your job minutes after watching your coworker (hopefully not) die. it's an insane ask.

Bills players don’t look like they’re able to continue
