I'd love to call him harsher names, but I'd rather not get banned.

I just called him two very harsh names. If I get banned it was worth it.

My hunch is that McD was furious that the NFL expected them to play after five minutes of warmups, conversed with the Bengals coach, and they both agreed to go back to their respective locker rooms on their own accord.

probably not, sadly.  If he has a pulse but not breathing it's more likely that his autonomic nervous system has shut down down: brainstem injury.  And seeing as it didn't appear that he suffered a major blow to the head, I think ruptured brain aneurysm is a high likelihood.

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

I vaguely recall a Detroit Lion dying on the field in the ‘60’s, a WR I think. I believe they were playing the Bears..

Yes. That Lion had caught a long pass and was was walking back to the huddle. He just keeled over and died on the spot. It was late 60/early 70s, over 50 years ago.

I don’t know how they can continue playing. Grown men were bawling their eyes out and looked like they were going to puke from shock on the field when they knew they were on national television. They need to cancel or postpone the game.

I’m no doctor.. but my brother’s good buddy is a heart surgeon and this is the first thing he thought of….

He is NOT saying this is what happened, but it’s scary as hell if it is.

 

Just can’t believe any of this is happening to this poor kid right now. 

Yeah when it happened I googled 'hit to chest cardiac arrest' and that is what came up.  Seems possible - when you see the play he did take a helmet to the chest - and if they did use AED then it also fits

Surely have to postpone - or whatever the ruling is if you stop the game. At risk of more injuries if players aren't fully mentally alert. 

 

It's a sport, not a war. You can't ask young men to continue in a situation such as this.
