aristocrat Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 If the ambulance is waiting for his mother he is likely in the clear. They probably intubated him and someone might interpret that has not being able to breathe on your own. They can ween him off it but could be doing it as precaution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 1 minute ago, SirAndrew said: ESPN crew should probably send prayers and thoughts to Damar and his family, and cut the awkward chat at this point. I feel for the ESPN crew here. They're basically expected to continue without any reference points. They can hardly say "let's recap the weekend's games" or show replays at the moment. If the NFL pulled the game they could go off air. Prayers for Damar. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfaBill Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just read o. Twitter that he has a pulse but is not breathing on his own. Grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralonzo Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 This actually reminds me more of the Chris Pronger incident where he took a shot to the chest that stopped his heart, tracks with Higgins helmet to the chest. The silver lining is that, once restarted, the heart is usually fine and Pronger went on to play a long time after the incident even.

Are you ***** kidding me I totally believe it and am still very concerned they will make the Bills either forfeit or go back out. NFL should just make the call to cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a ride in to declare it, you absolutely would. I hope they have him stable and that’s why they waited, but I don’t feel good about that.

Einstein Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The NFL could postpone this game until tomorrow night, then move the Bills-Pats and Bengals-Ravens to Monday night next week. If the NFL refuses, I support the Bills forfeiting. No human should have to play after seeing that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems CPR was successful enough that they took him off on an ambulance. Likely an arrhythmia from which he should recover.” hope the heart surgeon is right.

Beck Water Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 1 minute ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: He has a pulse but can’t breathe. I wonder if it’s not heart related but respiratory. The heart and breathing are both controlled by the same area in the neck, the brain stem. The cerebellum, just above it, controls balance. So given that his neck snapped back on the tackle, that he initially stood up, and then collapsed, it sounds pretty likely he sustained an injury to that area and they were able to get the heart restarted but not his respiration. In other words, both related to trauma to that area, but that’s where I go “full stop” with any speculation. I’m with the other people who say I would have no problem at all with the Bills taking the “L” and just focusing on praying for their brother. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Puts things in perspective. In the end, it's a game. And yes, I know I've gotten emotionally vested. I know I'll care about the Bills tomorrow. But today? I went from "You gotta be kidding me! Another injury?!?" to "Holy s***, I hope he'd okay. That's all that matters." My god... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chugga Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just puts things into perspective. I’ve joked sometimes that I come to these forums as therapy for the ridiculously crazy game day hot takes. But man whether you’re an all pro or the guy that consistently blows coverage every single person that steps on that field puts their life or quality of life on the line. They all deserve a significant level of respect for that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
