With what we are seeing here tonight, and plenty of other recent examples (Tua, AB) at some point everybody might need just to walk away.  These players are too big, too strong, and too fast.  With the type of hits that are happening now, this will only exponentially increase.

I don't enjoy watching people die.

I bet espn is regretting showing multiple angles of that play and the replay.  fug that was hard to watch after the fact

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.

I don't normally say stuff like this, but Goodell should resign.

This is bullsh-t.

I honeslty dont know why they havent called the game.. but i doubt its money related. There may be legal matters attached to it that they are working through. 

I dont know how the NFL operates.... but with the networks saying what they are saying... i doubt the NFL is looking for a way to continue this game on tv tonight. If anything they are holding out so they can say "he is fine" on live tv. Which is doesnt look like they are going to get that opportunity.

Obviously this takes second seat to the health and well being of Hamlin, but we very well may be watching the straw that breaks the nfl’s back. The juggernaut has a weakness and it is on full display. 
 

Hopefully we get word that he is making a recovery soon.

Why is there such a long ass delay here???

Fans are still sitting in the stands and for what?

Do they SERIOUSLY EXPECT the game to resume?

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
