NFL NFL Discussion: New Year

[INeedARemedy]

I hope that Damar pulls through. It’s a terrible thing that happened.

I’ll just echo the thoughts of another poster that it’s cool to see most people act like decent human beings about the situation

The look on Allens face was harrowing. Darkest thing I’ve seen in football, personally. Hope the man is okay

He and Diggs.

Seeing both teams crowding round him so we didn't see the CPR was almost as harrowing as when he dropped down.

Not been much fun with the biblical snow and us being arguably the most promising team.

Not holding much hope. 9 minutes is a long time.

it made me feel nauseous

When the paramedics started scrambling, that's when I felt real sick.

I felt awful for him too. If he's brain dead.Friend told me he's been warned for hard tackles but even so.

I mean, the Jovan Belcher thing happened and KC played the next day.

Not only did it happen, it happened in front of most of the team, and they made them play the next day.

If it's terrible news neither team should have to do that a day later. Even if it's good news it's still going to fuck your head up.

It was bad enough watching it on TV without him being your team mate.

 

[fingercuffs]

Also feel pretty awful for the fans who were there witnessing it happen, especially if they had kids with them.

I cant imagine it didn't emotionally scar the team watching a young player shoot himself in the head while the HC and GM beg him not to take the easy way out.

If the league made a team play after that I cant imagine anything is off limits.

Yeah there were some clips of him going helmet to helmet with a 49ers boy and Hamlin did it in a way that’s not kosher in 2022. This is totally unrelated though.

To me it was almost like he finished the play then something happened with his chest and he just dropped to the ground. It didn’t feel like the hit caused the injury directly. Almost like it was the bodies response several seconds after he got up.

This one was so haunting. I think because it felt like a playoff game. I was all buckled in and ready to go. Then the second it happens it just snaps you out and it’s like wait, what happened? At first I was confused. Then the camera cuts back and you can see the captains and the players sobbing, praying, etc. when they announced the cpr my heart sank and for a second I was stunned. Like holy shit did we just watch someone die? 9 minutes is a long ass time. I don’t care how you slice it. That’s scary to watch someone pumped like that for so long. If that was me there watching someone I’d think there’s no way after more than a minute or two that someone’s gonna be ok. Not that I’m a Dr or anything. Just common sense. Like I can hold my breathe for maybe 60-100 seconds before my vision gets blurry and I half to breathe or blackout. So 9 minutes? That’s an eternity.

The number of times we’ve taken injury commercial breaks and we come back and they’re ALWAYS fine. To come back and see everyone in the circle. That was really hard.

I really hope this guys ok. It sounds like he was a really charitable guy. It was just so sudden and extreme. And I think the atmosphere along with the nature of how it happened just made it feel different.

Thoughts are with him and his family

Just passed $1M. Some background, he started this two years ago before being drafted to raise money for kids from his community for Christmas. Hence the low initial goal.

He’s left it active since then and it’s been verified as legit.

Why is the NFL all of a sudden refusing to update his condition on the conference call?

Thankfully it was deemed tonight that they shouldn't have to, it just took a ton more time that it should have.

Isn't it up to his family?

The camaraderie between the two teams' players and coaches was a class act.
Yeah you have a family member at 24 years old playing in a pretty prolific game have to have CPR in the middle of the field, I just couldn't imagine.

Much love, @Zebra Cheeks
