DoctorWhom Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 What's so scary is how it wasn't like some horrible hit or injury like you would expect. At this point I think they're going to wait for an update that hopefully he is ok. No way they can continue not knowing his condition. Whether the game continues or not, I the important thing is that he's ok. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I think it's impossible to continue playing. They should all try again tomorrow and ESPN should put up some bowling or something with a live crawl. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league is as scummy as scummy gets, but I have to believe that even they would understand the severity of what's going on and the mental state of everyone involved and would suspend the game and just "figure it out". No network or team is going to put up a stink about it, or they'd look like complete monsters. I didn't see it live but flipped over after the ambulance carried him out. Now just sitting here hoping that they break in and announce that his vitals are stable and he's going to make it. If this game continues it's the worst decision since Owen Hart died in the ring. 2 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Cujo Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Approaching 1 hour on this delay. At this point, pretty sure this one gets postponed regardless. Which I agree with. Players can't go back out there after this kinda trauma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Cannot imagine what this is like for his family - getting updates and hearing potentially crushing news from social media and TV rather than first hand from a medical professional. This must be absolute torture for them. I hope there's some way that they're able to be more connected first hand to the team that's treating him.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I don't think it's safe for the players to come back out in the cold after not moving for an hour. At that point, you're just asking for more injuries. They need to reschedule for Tuesday or Wednesday and move Pats/Bills and Bengals/Ravens to next Monday. 5 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 1 minute ago, Ridleylash said: Yeah, about that understanding the severity bit... WTF - five minutes? Someone seriously said that they'd resume in five minutes? There was a scary moment in yesterday's Saints/Eagles game where an Eagles DL was carted off without movement in his extremities and they just picked up the game. Turns out he was alright and doing the thumbs-up thing, but even that seemed a little rough. This is on a different and unprecedented level. Over the past couple of years, sports (well, everyone in life) has gained tremendous experience in just making things up on the fly. There's some way they can finish this game another time. I don't know what that someway is, but it exists and maybe they should just call this one off, wait for an update, and then get to work figuring that out. 5 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

infrared41 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 According to some reports on Twitter, (take these with a generous helping of salt) the ambulance was stopped in the parking lot outside the stadium so Hamlin's Mom could get there to ride to the hospital with him. If true, and the accompanying video suggests it could be, that could mean they had revived and stabilized him or it could mean the worst. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized the NCAA CG is next Monday, so the rescheduling becomes incredibly challenging. It's the NFL. They're the juggernaut and they can move anything else on TV. Maybe everyone gets a week off. I don't know. I just hope they're prioritizing how the hell everyone is supposed to be able to continue playing in the worst case scenario rather than force a terrible scenario of a football game tonight.

They have to set all that bull- aside and do what's right and whatever works. If that means playing on the same day as the NCG then that's what happens. Play the game Wednesday and move both team's last game to next Monday if that's what it takes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Yikes. This is absolutely terrible. It’s been a very long time without any updates, which is scary. My mother always says that the human body was not made for football. Side note: do they call this game at 7-3, or will the two teams finish playing at a later point? If it is the latter, do they restart from 0-0 or 7-3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier, during the two Covid seasons, they proved that it's possible to just "figure it out" and that nothing is too rigid to be changed. They'll figure this one out, even if it means unprecedented mid-week games, possibly a neutral site, and maybe possibly a funky playoff schedule to accommodate these teams. Or, since they're the NFL, they'll botch it and forever lose the trust of anyone who ever gave them the benefit of the doubt. 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Rockstar Matt Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 They can only reschedule the game if Hamlin ends up being okay, IMO. Game has to be cancelled tonight at minimum. Anything else is inhumane. 3 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just curious - what happens if they simply end the game right here and keep the final score as is? Forgive me but I don't know all the playoff implications. And... can they even do that?
