It was McDermott’s reaction for me. He’s always so calm no matter the situation.

 

He was visibly distraught. 

mcd is my bills coach for life as long as he wants to be.  tenured.

I think that’s his agent.

Did Mahomes tweet anything in support of Hamlin?  

Yes

This is a wild guess but I think the bills were prepared to forfeit if needed so they started packing up their stuff first and Zac Taylor may have agreed to postpone the game.  Maybe the nfl left it up to the coaches or the coaches straight up decided they weren’t playing on their own 

 

It sounded like the officials were giving them 5 minutes to resume play and the coaches basically said F**k Off and took their teams off the field.

So pumped up for this game and can’t believe this happened. Played a lot of football and saw crazier hits in a few of the bowls games. Puts everything in perspective of how fragile life is. I pray that’s he ok.  Nothing else really matters besides that.

I wish a non-medical person, even if he is attached to Hamlin, would not put any info out until medical staff have done what they can do for him and truly assess the situation.

 

What we will not know, is what the long term effects will be for this young man god willing he pulls through.

Seeing Tre White totally broken down, man. Just devastating.

I think I first noticed what looked like Tears in Mcd’s eyes.. I was more  worried and then Allen was in tears and his  look was something that will live with me for a long time. 

 

I think the haunted look on Josh's face will stay with me the longest out of everything. Think that was the gut wrenching moment when the seriousness really hit home.

That's when I first knew something was wrong. McD looked like he was crying or at best holding back tears.

Yes he did. Why ask?

Because Mahomes is an important player in the league and his support would be appreciated by worried Bills fans.  See where his mindset is.  Nothing wrong with the question.  Alot of questions right now.

Taylor seemed to conduct himself in a compassionate and classy manor.  Not saying other coaches wouldn't have done the same, but he looked genuine.  I'm a fan of his.

From my ER doc friend- assuming the tweets about vitals is accurate 

 

He will be intubated overnight. Its normal. They will take him to the cathlab and put an implantable difibrillator. If he has a pulse now, he will be fine

 

lets hope and continue to pray 

I'm no doc, but my worry would be how long did he go without oxygen to the brain. They worked on him on the field for 20 minutes before they took him away. It's a scary situation all around.

What do you mean? When Dane was hurt the ambulance came out. 

You're right. Forgot about that.

If he is not basing his tweet on word from medical officials,  he needs to be fired.  At this point,  no one should speculate or make firm statements unless backed by medical staff of the UC hospital 

Agreed, it may not be the best move, but I think everyone is just worried and upset right now. IMO it's best not to speculate on motives and choose to show a little grace, but I'm by no means criticizing you for having an opinion. 

[Herc11]

Unfortunately we most likely won't know anything for at least a few days. As an ICU nurse, I've cared for people many times after resuscitation. Word is out that he is intubated in critical condition.

 

This means he will be in a medically induced coma, via sedation. They will have him in hypothermia protocol for 48 hrs before attempting to reduce sedation meds to test ability to respond and breath on his own.  

 

Until they begin testing for ability to breath and respond to commands, they won't know his level of brain function. The worry is if he suffered an hypoxic brain injury.

 

Just giving this info out so people understand what to expect with updates going forward.

Sickening - and you didn’t know if he was going to live or die. 

 

When I heard that they were going to have the players warm up for 5 minutes and then resume the game my reaction was “Oh, thank god he’s okay.” I can’t believe the league tried to do that without any positive information about Hamlin’s condition. Just unbelievable disregard for the players as human beings.
