Steptide

All our hope lies in the hands of stidham

I posted this in the Pats thread and Bengals thread too so everyone sees it, but seems nobody can agree on what to do

Coach McDermott mentioned that Josh showed him something that damar's mom was going to show to him(damar) , and both he and Josh got REALLY emotional. Anyone know what it is?

Even if they have nothing to play for Sunday (seed wise) i think it's Abad idea to rest starters. This team barely played Monday night and to rest everybody this coming Sunday would make for an awful long time between games. I think if anything this team needs to play Sunday to prepare for the playoffs

I'll litterally be shocked if the bills don't win this game by 21 points. No way the bills don't come out on a mission this week

Amazing. Absolutely thrilled to hear he is awake and responsive. Have to imagine this will be a huge motivation for the team

I was just thinking about this. When he finally comes to, I imagine the last thing he'll remember is playing in the game. Will probly be a total mind f when his family/Dr's tell him what happened and everything that followed in the days after

Apologies if this has already been answered, but at what point do they take him out of sedation? Or what needs to happen before they do that?

I think the only difference you might see, is medical personal getting to a player faster than normal if a player gets inured.

Just looked up the the game maps for this week and they're delayed due to the bills/Bengals game situation. It'll be interesting if they show the bills/Pats for most of the country. I think the country probably wants to see the bills this week

Assuming Hamlin is improving, I legitimately expect the bills to absolutely crush the Patriots souls. I could see this game being like 52-3.

It'd be really cool if they put a number 3 in the bills logo on the field Sunday. There's probably some stupid nfl rules about that or something though

I bet if Peterman even plays halfway decent (240 yards, 1 td, 1 int) he'll solidify another 2 years in the nfl

I believe this past week was his final call up. Not sure if the nfl will allow it for this week seeing the circumstances have changed.

I'll throw an idea out that I had a few years ago during covid. Sounds stupid but it's simple and effective- Have a field goal shoot out. Each teams kicker starts at the 5 yard line. For every kick made, the ball moves back 10 yards. First kicker to miss, that team loses. Do a best of 7 or something. Bass vs whoever Bengals kicker is 🤷

Wasn't that report from hamlins uncle?

You'd think after 4 years of being on practice squads, he's gotta be better right? RIGHT?

Just trying to change up the mood a little around here. Go Peterman. Hope he throws for 350 yards and 3 td's

Ya, osha laws etc. Also I don't think there's much to tell outside of he's still sedated

You're right I agree. But there's still something to be said about gojng out and fighting after all that's happened. If they lose in the playoffs, are any of us really gonna be THAT mad? I mean we can't be. But we as bills fans will all come together for however far this team takes us. At the risk of sounding selfish, I think I speak for alot of bills fans when I say we need this team to push on...... This is all assuming Hamlin continues to improve

We can all sit here and bash kc fans all we want, but I gaurentee if it was a kc player this happened to and there was a possibility of it affecting the bills 1 seed spot, there would absolutely be posters here saying similar things

Assuming Hamlin keeps improving and pulls out of this, I can absolutely see the team rallying around this. There's 2 ways the rest of this season can go. They either mail it in and let this over take them, or they fight on and win the whole damn thing for Hamlin. I suspect the latter. This team is strong. While I don't know Hamlin personally (obviously) I suspect he'd want the team to fight on

Was the lung damage from not breathing, or from the tackle?
