Skip Bayless is being crucified just for asking how they can cancel the game.

Guys get paralyzed, a much more likely occurrence than CC, and they keep playing.

1:32 p.m. -- The NFL has also announced that the Bills vs. Bengals game will not be resumed this week. The league has "made no decision regarding the possible resumption of the game at a later date" as well.

Wackyness is blaming the vax for everything. Do we even know if the player took the vax? That would be a good starting point. 

Not a single person has made that claim

So if the Bills don’t want to play this week will they want to play the next game in 5 days? 
Interesting situation.

This was a routine tackle. I really hope receivers can lower their heads and protect themselves. If they take that away football will really be unwatchable.

The plague created 2 more adversarial factions wherein no gray area exists.........one side believes nothing according to the other and the other side believes everything according to the other.  Asinine and inaccurate (except for a few whacks) but in particular it gives the anti-vax, we told you so bros something to mewl about.

May as well go flag.  I'll burn myself with a cigar before I let karens tell me what I can and can't do......and I hope everyone feels the same way.

It already is, and has been that way for well over a decade.

I don't feel that way.  This year has had some of the best edge of your seat regular season games. This game could have been one too if not for the tragedy.

Hopefully he recovers, I do think there will be some rule changes coming from this though

Here’s a thought, all games this Sunday are pushed back a week.(keep hearing all NFL players  need  mental health support right now)

This shifts the rest of the schedule so the Super Bowl moves from Feb 12th to the 19th. That means it falls on Presidents weekend and Monday is a holiday. It’s been something the League has been eyeing for a while.

I think this happened to Chris Pronger the hockey player when he was struck by a puck in the chest. I’m a non practicing trained EMT, not that means much, but this is definitely a situation that we covered. Impact to the chest can cause arrhythmia which can lead to cardiac arrest. It’s amazing how quickly a loss of blood flow causes the body to collapse.

After 9/11 they removed a week between the Conference Championships and Super Bowl (typically 2 weeks).

Do you realize the travel and set ups that have already been arranged, too late to change the dates. We live in a 2 week society, regardless of what happens to this poor soul, it will all be water under the bridge shortly and on to another scenario.

 

Nobody really cares except his family, teammates and friends, the rest of us recognize disaster but better for him to experience it than ourselves or someone close to us. People generally suck anyway.
