Assuming and God willing Damar pulls through this even if debilitated for a while, Do you think HE would want his teamates to just mourne their careers away and sacrafice their hopes and playoff aspirations? If anything I imagine he would want them to go out and win the whole damn thing in his honor.
I keep remembering back in 2003 Brett Favre and the packers were to play the Raiders on MNF and his dad passed away the night before. As tragic as the situation was Brett ultimately decided to play the game knowing that's what his dad would want and ended up putting up one of the most impressive performances of the year.
We can pray for Damar and rally around him at the same time and go accomplish that ultimate goal he himself was striving for.
