Many of them were likely waiting on an official update on the player.

Goodell. The NFL's policy on these situations has already been posted. It's his call.

Yeah, it really is. You can figure out the logistics on the back end.

You missed it then.

temporarily suspended isn't postponed

Damn. Booger Farland just went IN on the NFL. I didn't catch exactly what he said but basically insinuated they don't give a fug about the players and "that's just how they run their business".

Literally all they had to do was say the game is postponed and all thoughts are with Damar Hamlin and family. Period.

This game is over. There's players sans uniform. In trying to avoid a PR disaster the NFL has created one.

They're just trying to figure out how to spin this from a PR perspective. They're probably on the phone with every major corporate sponsor. This is a full-blown CYA effort right now and it's seriously tacky. All they gotta do is just come out and say that the game is postponed, an update will be provided at a later time and all thoughts are with Damar Hamlin and his family at this time.

No news does not feel like good news here.

She's done that a couple of times tonight.

It looks bad enough on the NFL that they haven't already officially called this off. Feels like they're probably just scrambling with corporate sponsors and PR folks on how to handle this.

McD came out and talked to the refs for about two minutes. Wouldn't be surprised if he was telling them ain't no fuging way his team is taking the field again tonight, league decision be damned.

Not on the broadcast, but yeah that's the armchair MD speculation.

Okay, it wasn't on ESPN. They were just showing a shot of the jumbotron in the stadium. Just to clarify and be fair.

That was pretty fuging tacky of ESPN putting a disclaimer message up that the game is temporarily suspended... with three corporate sponsor ads tacked onto it.

Just postpone the game. This is ridiculous. You can't ask these guys to keep playing after that.

I don't think this game is going to continue.

They gotta just postpone this game. You can't go back to playing after this.

OMG... they've been administering CPR. Holy fuging poo.

Oh poo. This is not good. Ambulance in the field. Players openly crying.

Woah. That was weird. Dude hopped right back up after the tackle then dropped like he was shot by a sniper. I hope that dude is alright.

Bills sputter in the redzone. Allen missed Beasley by a hair. Settle for 3. Damn good game early on.

I'd be shocked if they don't trade that pick because yeah, they have a talented young QB to work with and they need a LOT of roster upgrades. They don't need the #2 overall pick. They need a bevy of picks.

Bengals strike first. Burrow to Boyd.
