  • Jeez what a sad situation. He was attended to immediately so that's good.

    They were frantically administering CPR so I would not say that is good. They must have revived him because they didn't look like they were in a hurry when they left the field.

    Poor wording on my part.

    I meant the medical team was right there, quickly...

    C spine injuries, you have to go slow with the cot & rescue squad. 

  • He’s in critical condition at UC, basically on life support. Horrible. 

  • I haven't been watching tonight but am reminded of a Lions receiver many years ago.  

  • Has pulse but not breathing on his own. That is scary.

  • Just in .....

    Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin was in critical condition Monday night after collapsing on the field during the Monday Night football showdown with the Bengals.

    The game was officially suspended about an hour after the incident.

    Here's what we know so far about Damar Hamlin and his injury.

    Hamlin collapsed, was given CPR

    Hamlin, a safety, collided with Bengals receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter. After trying to get up from the tackle, he fell to the field at 8:55 p.m. Medical personnel worked on Hamlin for several minutes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered, and an automated external defibrillator was required....l..

    More later  .......

  • Hamlin was removed by ambulance at 9:25 p.m. and taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was in critical condition, the National Football League said in a statement.. Hamlin's family came down from the stands to be with him in the ambulance.

    When was the Bengals and Bills game suspended?

    The game was temporarily suspended while Hamlin received treatment on the field and was transported. "How do you as a member of the Buffalo Bills or the Cincinnati Bengals continue on ... to play this game?" ESPN play-by-play announcer Joe Buck said during the broadcast. ...... continued  ........

  • Prayers sent... ?

  • God Speed

    Praying for a full recovery

  • He’s in critical condition at UC, basically on life support. Horrible.

    I feel for the players, and his family....  With my years of medical experience, I've seen stuff like that, including seeing a few people die right in front of my eyes....  But I'll bet those guys weren't ready for anything like that, seeing CPR on a guy who was playing football a minute earlier...  🙁

    I go all the way back to the brutal hit by Jack Tatum that paralyzed Darryl Stingley....  

    MHO? It's a tough one for the NFL, and unprecedented.... As they opined on SVP on ESPN....  Even if they delay the game till Tuesday night, do you want to see crap football? Those guys are too shook up to give a crap. The look on Josh Allen's face told you everything you needed to know... (both Bills & Bengals players at the hospital)  Just call it a "no game" or at worst, let the Bills forfeit- though not very fair.  

  • That's some scary stuff. I've seen bad neck/head injuries, but I've never seen a hit to a player's chest causing cardiac arrest. I believe it's being reported he's in a coma? Prayers for this man and glad they stopped the game.

  • Some really bad things have been happening to Buffalo. Sending some love from Cleveland ❤

    Chuck Hughes.

    With about a minute or so left in the game, he had a cardiac arrest on the field. 

    They finished the game after he left in an ambulance.

    It was a nice night in NC to take a walk away & pray for 10 minutes ?

    There is not much respect nor press being talked about on the Bills & Bengals medical staffs quick reaction to get that ambulance to help quickly.. Thank You !

    Soon came Players reactions ?.. damn scary.. took a walk  

    Worlds praying Damar Hamlin ? Get Well #3

  • at this moment still nothing new 

  • Tuesday January 3, 2023,  11:24 am -  current status,  awaiting updates.

    .....  “His heartbeat was restored on the field and he was transferred to the UC Medical Center for further testing and treatment. * He is currently sedated and listed in critical condition.” ........

    ......  (general information) ....    Hamlin needed both an automated external defibrillator and CPR on the field, and left the field with a pulse but unable to breathe on his own, Fox 19 reports. The game between the Bills and Bengals was officially postponed around 90 minutes after kickoff.

    Meanwhile, Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, refuted ESPN’s broadcast report that both teams were given a five-minute warm-up period to resume playing.

    “I’m not sure where that came from,” Vincent said. “It never crossed our mind to talk about warming up to resume play. That’s ridiculous. That’s insensitive. That’s not a place we should ever be in.”

  • Stuff like this reminds us that there are bigger things in life than Sports in general... Humanity toward others... Helping those in need... Praying for the lives of the endangered... Those are the real challenges.. I hope this kid pulls through...

  • We were watching the game - Hamlin stood up quickly, then paused and flat out went back to the turf. It's so sad - We hope and pray he can recover. It's a devastating heartbreak for fans and players around the NFL alike.

    and yes, like Hoorta mentioned - it reminds some of us of Darryl Stingley getting left a quadriplegic after that huge hit.

    Yeah, it is scary Bernie.  I heard the Coma is medically induced because it slows some body functions that could help him and because he's on a vent.
