Literally everyone on ESPN is like, “yo there is no way you can play this game,” so I honestly can’t see how the NFL let’s it go on. I know greed and revenue and all that but letting it continue would be a PR nightmare

now that all the announcers have said they should call it, yea it'll be a catastrophe if they go forward even assuming hamlin is ok. if hamlin dies at any point in the next few days and they play this game the NFL is going to have lynchmobs after them

What are even the logistics of cancelling the game? Never play it and two teams only played 16 games? Call it a draw? Play it tomorrow? Squeeze it in later?

Honestly, if a player died on the field I don't know if I even think next weekend's game should be played as normal, but maybe I'm overreacting?

At this point? Play it tomorrow or Bills forfeit and if the Bengals then forfeit turning it into a Bills loss or tie. (I can't imagine the Bengals wouldn't also forfeit)

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I assume the reason we're not hearing anything is because they're having to figure out the answers to these questions in real time.

I'd say gently caress tomorrow, punt it to Thursday. There's already infrastructure in place for TNF games and they didn't have another one scheduled for this week anyway.

Just weird stab in the dark but wonder if they’re delaying announcing it’s canceled to give the players/staff chances to get out of the stadium first. I imagine they all want to go to the hospital.

ha, ha, ha, og me ekam
So, 4 years ago I had a friend killed in an explosion. We kept doing our job of evacuating the area, running patients to the hospital, etc., after we were given the go ahead to clock out. That was largely a "need to keep busy or we'll go insane" case and obviously bigger than a football game.

The point I'm getting at is, if this game goes on, it has to be only because of the players wanting it to so they are able to "keep busy". Literally nobody else outside of that locker room should make the decision for them. If they decide to keep playing I absolutely get it, but hope they don't.
