NFL 2022-23: How About A Lions vs. Jaguars Super Bowl?

This board will remember when Chris Pronger took a puck to his chest and collapsed. Seems very similar in terms of the hit and location.

Hopefully, Damar will have the same recovery and be able to play again.

Granted there are no official medical reports on it yet, but the talk of arrhythmia sounds like what killed Cornell lacrosse player George Boiardi in 2004. Hopefully, of course, not the same end result.
 
I can't believe it took that long to call it. The coach should have told roger to fuck himself, the game is not being played, you figure out what that means. We're done tonight. Not your call.

There's some slack given for the official announcement to postpone for the night given that there's likely coordination needed with police and such to get everyone out of the stadium in an orderly manner. Now, the whole "you've got five minutes to warm up and then we're gonna go" thing? That is pretty crap and I'd put that on the referee. You're standing there and can obviously see a guy getting CPR on the field you have to be thinking "we're gonna need some time on this..." Granted, I don't how things work in the NFL compared to soccer where the referee has near absolute authority, but that's still pretty crap. In their defense, they may have been the ones to initiate the suspension with the coaches.

Hard to be that critical. I'm betting that they were all hoping for good news, which would be needed to restart the game. But once they went to the lockers, that sure seemed to end any possibility. And then, I agree that there needs to be some co-ordination to empty the stadium similar to post game.

Especially when you saw the coaches speak outside of the locker room- it was over for the game.
 
There was a report that he was intubated at the hospital but, and maybe one of the docs on here can confirm, that is apparently standard procedure for someone receiving CPR.

I hate to be callous- but it's no different than any other company out there who has an injury or death while at work. Work goes on.

Other than the hope to restart the game, not sure where the NFL has gone wrong.

Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?

Pagnatti trying to give Bayless a run for his money in the worst take sweepstakes.

Again, other than trying to restart the game, please be explicit in where the NFL went wrong. Don't just use conjecture, use actual facts.

In the end, they postponed the game after the two coaches agreed to go to the lockers, and the official NFL representatives that were on site- the refs, allowed that to happen. So it's not as if anyone forced them to start playing- they had no idea what was going on, or how serious it was.

The players and the coaches had more information in front of them than any NFL manager had. They knew more and walked off the field. The NFL didn't have that info, and thought that this was like other injuries that the player was ambulanced off the field- so they went with what they knew from prior incidents. Just like fans probably assumed that the game would restart one the ambulance was gone- since you could not really see how the players were reacting.

These are people, too. They don't have all of the answers, especially when they don't have all of all of the knowledge of the situation. Right now, the ONLY ones who do are the doctors treating the Hamlin, and they are not saying anything.

Not one of those doctors, but it's awful tough to know SOP when we don't know what's going on.
