Cas Stark Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Jesus. I agree at this point they should cancel the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Idk how they ask the players to go back out on the field even if we get better news. 8 minutes ago, PyroclasticFlow said: My moms bf said he most likely had a heart attack, which is crazy bc he’s so young. Coming from a dude who’s had two of them himself That's where my mind went after seeing the clip a few minutes ago. It doesn't make a ton of sense. The play was fairly routine, there wasn't a clear injury, he gets up and then just collapses. I've never seen anything like it, except when Christian Erikson collapsed on the pitch.

Its not good. Really hope he is ok. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commotio_cordis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Game is officially suspended for the night. Idk how they reschedule it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could play it tomorrow night, that wouldn't interfere with next week. Maybe Wednesday, although it's pushing it and they might have to move two of the Sunday games to Monday, which I'm certain the NFL does not want to do. They could also just call it a tie and be done with it. Obviously not great for either squad, but nothing about this is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do a couple of Monday afternoon games that end before the National Championship kicks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the playoff implications suck for both sides, but who cares. This is a unique circumstance. Not sure how you can ask either team to play tomorrow or Wednesday and that's assuming Hamlin pulls through. They need the time off regardless.

DMC Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I'm sure I'm missing others, but the closest/most recent precedent I can remember is Larry Dierker having a seizure during a game. He was a manager instead of a player, but they suspended the game for over a month. Of course, with the timing & baseball schedule it's considerably more convenient.

Maithanet Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Bills already flew back to Buffalo. Looks like that game is not going to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's simply no logical way to reschedule it. If this happened in say week 12, sure, they could stagger some games out if they wanted to, but with only one week left, no chance there'd be terms the teams would agree to and the Bills' players probably just need a few days off in general. My first FF win on the forum feels gross. Not sure the results should even count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how they reschedule it either. Ignoring for a second that it was the right thing to do to postpone, a tie (if that's what they end up doing), gives the Bengals the AFC North but kills any chance they had to win the #1 seed. The Bills no longer control their own destiny on the #1 seed and will have to hope for a KC loss. And while anyone else winning the MVP was a long shot, it locks in Mahomes as the clear winner (Burrow/Allen had an outside chance should they crush the last two games and Mahomes stumbled at all). Probably the right call all around given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Neither team is happy with a tie. Buffalo loses the 1 spot, and Cincy loses the opportunity to move above the 3 seedin the upcoming playoffs. The only good thing is that they do get like half a week 17 bye, which will help everyone other than Hamlin get healthy. Hopefully we get good news on Hamlin's condition today.

Frankly both teams should just treat next week like a bye and get ready for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think on it, the more I think it's less likely they call it a tie and more they just cancel the game. I don't think a tie actually changes anything. They'll determine seeding by winning percentages and call it a day. Hurts both teams but these are extraordinary circumstances. The only other option I can see is to push week 18 and playoffs back a week and go from Championship Sunday right to Super Bowl with no week in between. Think they did this once.
