NFL looks like a bunch of creeps ATM.  Should have already called it.

They are probably leaving it up to the teams. Bills captains will likely vote and relay their decision to the league

In the first half thread someone stated that Mixon was standing over Hamlin laughing at him.  Can't confirm that's real.

[Dr. K]

I wouldn't have any trouble with the Bills forfeiting the game.

D Hamlin all the prayers for you our brother

Couldn't it have been a heart issue due to the trauma to his chest? 

yes, but that would imply brain injury from anoxia (lack of oxygen from loss of heart function).  Perhaps the report of pulse but not breathing is incorrect.  Let's pray for that.  There are other possibilities as well.

Every minute is like an hour cmon someone say something about him. Let this guy be ok

I don’t even believe the Bills would be physically safe to play this game. It’s an incredibly fast and violent sport, and you’re most at fear when you’re playing with fear in your heart. You can’t play scared, and how can you not play that way right now. 
 

You can’t play this game . It’s a ***** game

Agree. But they shouldn't have to. The NFL needs to call it. 

[Old Coot]

Dr Sanjay Gupta says its likely not a brain or spinal cord injury because he was able to get up after the tackle.  Says maybe a cardiac or lung issue.

 

A blow to the chest can cause the heart to stop.

 

Hoping and wishing for a good outcome

Looked like he was pointing to get someone’s attention when he collapsed

[Coach Tuesday]

The Bengals should forfeit as well.  That’s the right outcome (because the League can’t make the layup).

Now is not the time for anger towards other posters, the NFL, Goodell, etc…

 

Now is the time for prayer. 

Unite in prayer 🙏

Only fair thing is no game was played and we are back to a 16 game schedule for both our teams

A heart surgeon in my family, he just sent this :

 

“Well he had cardiac arrest, which is like being dead. But it seems CPR was successful enough that they took him off on an ambulance. Likely an arrhythmia from which he should recover.”

Agree. If they had effective CPR he will make it. The difference with the soccer player is the pads and time to get them off. 

Like others have posted the trainers probably rehearse this and if he makes it they will be heros.

ESPN: Goodell now in communication with the officials.

[Iverwig]

The league will take some heat if they have to play this game. The fact that they can’t even discuss it among the those in studio and then to expect them to play after that is stupid. Goodell should have made a decision a long time ago and it should not be up to the coaches or players. SMH

Bengals should be respectful and forfeit. 

If anything the league needs to call it a draw, and skip the game

[Jeffbigalls]

Hopefully ok but sounds like and injury to the c1 and 2 vertebrea 

[78thealltimegreat]

We are emotional right now lets just call this game and take it from there
