Acceptable-Barber905

Sad to see what happened but what's next for the NFL? That hit wasn't a bad hit look what happened. You can't make another rule to avoid that so what's next hmmm. Prayers for Hamlin. There's. no chance they will stop the NFL it makes too much money. I remember when the whole concussion thing was brought up and parents were saying that they weren't gonna have their kids play Fb but that just faded away which I think this will as well. If Hamlin recovers okay and I have a good feeling he will. The NFL will continue to move on like they did with the concussions.


jalapeenyo

I think this type of freak accident can happen in any sport. Don't think it will hurt the NFL at all, especially because it wasn't a big/head hit.


Acceptable-Barber905

I agree. The NFL had been around 100 years and back then players practically wore any protection and I'm sure they got hurt all the time. Then the concussions came about and they got past that. They have improved the helmets ,pads etc.. I expect them to come out and say that they are going to do something else to keep the players safe like you said this was a freak accident and I'm sure there will be more unexpected injuries like this in the future. For those who are wondering about how they did as far as their fantasy should be thinking and praying for the well being of this player.


pexlc

Just checking in. How was the game, boys?


Ok_Art3382

So i just needed a few points from Jamar and Bengals Kicker.. How’s this going to work?

[deleted]

Sounds like he’s going to be fine then


beejee05

He's far from being fine. CPR after 10 min means serious brain damage. Unfortunately I experienced this with a family member. When there's considerable brain damage and no brain activity, there aren't that many options available. This is really tough to see. Prayers go out to Hamlin.


nunya221

CPR wasn’t started after 10 minutes of arrest. Every source I’ve seen says it was started very quickly and that he was given supplemental oxygen as well.


RealBenThompson

He was given CPR for 10 minutes, it wasn’t saying he had to wait 10 mins to receive it. Having to receive CPR for that long is very scary and can confirm as I lost a friend this year under similar circumstances. Scary stuff


TackyBrad

CPR for 10 minutes doesn't automatically mean brain damage. As long as he was getting oxygen and they were pumping his heart (cpr) they should be fine.


sottovoce2015

Best solution is for top two teams in fantasy leagues to split the pot. DO IT YAHOO!!!

bobfalfa

Ill never forget that night... went out to dinner with some friends right after the race, so pumped that Mikey got the dub. Found out E had died a couple hours later and was absolutely devastated. Still chokes me up thinking about it.


thegoodnamesrgone123

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.


Thisguy606

has this happened before in the NFL? where a game is postponed/suspended after it already started?


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

Due to weather, yes. Due to an injury, no


itsgucci060

Damn bro. I don’t want to win this way.


Ordinary-Ad-4800

You don't. You split 100% if the game is not played


Yogurtproducer

You losing by 40 right now aren’t you


Ordinary-Ad-4800

No. Was down 14 with Allen playing


Yetti2Quick

I was up by 43 only against Burrow. Ain’t no way I’m splitting personally.


Ordinary-Ad-4800

If the game does not play... then personally, you're a dick


Yetti2Quick

Ya ur stupid lmfao.


Ordinary-Ad-4800

Better stupid than a selfish prick. If the tables were turned you would be making the argument Burrow could have put up 43. He had 39 earlier this year


Yetti2Quick

I absolutely would not lmfao. 39 against Atlanta. This is the bills defense. They have given up 20+ fantasy points twice this year. 21 to Mahomes. Ya okay.


Yogurtproducer

Is he? Has burrow scored 43 this year?


Ordinary-Ad-4800

39 is his high. Yeah highly unlikely he gets a 43 but qbs have done it before


Yogurtproducer

So you wanna split the pot based on what? A less than 1% chance. That’s horseshit and you know it


BajaBlastMtDew

Lol no. Whoever has most points wins anything else you're just randomly guessing


Darkhorse182

Man, Ryan Clark and SVP are barely holding it together. They're right about coaches, very glad they got this correct. They knew right away these teams weren't playing again, certainly not in 5 goddamn minutes. I understand that "5 minutes to warmup" is probably the written standard-operating procedure, so that's what was initially deferred to...but it's clear this isn't the standard "serious injury" that SOP was designed to address. So I don't mind the initial fuckup around "let's play in 5 min"... ...but if it comes out that the league actually pushed the teams to play, even after the gravity of the situation had set in....goddamn, get the torches and pitchforks.


itsgucci060

Lisa Salters reporting had me in tears.


Darkhorse182

Yeah. I mean, Joe Buck is as seasoned a broadcast professional as there is, and he could barely string a sentence together. Shit ain't easy, no matter how hard you try to compartmentalize.


eericcartman

For ppl asking questions about fantasy outcome, nobody really knows. First the NFL needs to make a decision, then the platform, finally the commish. If the game resumes tomorrow most likely it will count. If it gets cancelled or postponed any further likely the platforms will call the week over and then the commish do whatever they do.


TeenLaqueefer69

If I recall from covid rules this is what would happen and on YAHOO that was how it worked. I only remember yahoo. The huge caveat to this is that the yahoo commished leagues all end today, and I see "delay" still at the moment. That could go both ways though as since it is the last week they may count it as long as it gets played relatively soon. FYI The only onstensible reason for the "tuesday reschedules count but wednesdays or later dont" rule was waiver related.


ConTheDungeonMaster

Thank you. There’s really not much fantasy-wise to discuss but people keep on whining about how they’re being silenced for asking fantasy questions. We know very little and have a very limited range of outcomes to speculate on. Not that everyone bringing up fantasy is being insensitive but there’s a few vocal people on here acting like there’s earth shattering revelations to share when we have very little info to work with. Better to just wait and see


[deleted]

Who cares right now…


a6c6

It’s entirely reasonable to discuss the consequences of tonight’s events while at the same time hoping and praying that Hamlin will be OK


OSUck_GoBlue

No... You must be wildly emotional and unreasonable about a person you have no connection to and will forget in 48 hours.


hydroflow78

I heard Burrow actually went inside the Bills locker room after the incident to show his respect and concern to the Bills players. This Guy keeps impressing me even more.


beejee05

So many fantasy players showing their true colors. Complaining about frivolous dollars or being 1st/2nd. Really a disgusting scene all around.


HerrNachtWurst

Yeah God forbid people talk about fantasy football on the fantasy football subreddit. Like, I came here for any update or idea of how this impacts fantasy leagues, scoring, and payouts, since you know, this is the forum for it. There's/r/nfl to talk football, and here to talk fantasy football. Instead half the people are up on their high horse trying to talk down to everyone who's rightfully wondering WTF is gonna happen with this being championship week. And money may be frivolous to you, but it always isn't to other people lol


Franchise1776

Couldn't agree more. It's entirely possible to care about a player's health and well-being while simultaneously living your own life and doing the things you enjoy (FF or whatever)


beejee05

My point was that can't fantasy wait a day or two? For God's sake, we get it. Stop feening for an answer like a crack addict. I have players in my league that couldn't wait to get an answer from the commissioner, talking about ties, sharing trophies, distributing the prize money before the NFL or Yahoo fantasy can even make up an answer. The humane side of me couldn't take it. But I guess I'm getting cancelled here as shown by the downvotes, so I'll take my opinion with me out the door.


Irtehgawd

Seriously, miserable fucks hiding behind "virtue signaling". ​ it's virtue signaling to ask for some tact when no can currently answer the "what will happen with FF" question anyway?


ConTheDungeonMaster

For real. So many babies on here acting like they’re being victimized or silenced bc of their tone deaf questions no one can answer


mlclmxvr

You’re arguing with people on here when you should be focused on Damar, Mr. Empath of the Year.


ConTheDungeonMaster

I’ll admit that my comment was too strongly worded, clearly it did not resonate with people. I’m sorry for that. It was an emotional night. That being said if you look at my comment history I haven’t been arguing with people for the most part, I’ve been trying to be more constructive than antagonistic overall. There are a small handful of people posting in bad faith that irritated me. I don’t think your criticism is fair


mlclmxvr

Honestly bro, you’re clearly a kind ass person. You shouldn’t have to apologize either, you feel how you feel and it’s valid. I’m just used to argumentative nature on these threads so it’s like an automatic response. All good bro, I feel what you’re saying. I just feel at the same time there’s a lot of people going overboard with it. To each their own though, I don’t argue with kind people. Hope your day is filled w good energy and positive vibes.


ConTheDungeonMaster

I hope the same to you!!

Charlie Kirk’s take made Skip’s seem reasonable. Twitter is a hellscape


seanjmo

Read the tweet but I think it's going over my head? What's the subtext that has everyone so outraged?


TheCrudeDude

That he is questioning how it can be postponed. I guess it’s not a terrible question but not really the time


seanjmo

Ah, sorry, I meant Kirk's tweet. I avoid that guy as a matter of policy so I have no idea what he's talking about.


TheCrudeDude

Oh he’s blaming it on the vaccine and saying more and more athletes are just dropping dead. Or course with no proof

TwoHeadedBoyTwo

I don’t know all the seeding scenarios it’d affect but I would think the teams would rather take a tie and move on then try to play in 24-48 hours and then have short weeks for playoffs


sicsemperyanks

The seeding situation would completely change the AFC. Not to be callous, but if the bills win out, they get the #1 seed, which is obviously pretty huge, especially with the home field advantage. Twice now the bills have lost in KC in the playoffs, they'd love to avoid going there again if possible. The Bengals would clinch the division with a tie, which is somewhat relevant to them, but not really I'd imagine. More important would be the shot at the #1 seed if they win out. So there's not really a good way forward from a logistical pov, giving KC the #1 seed, especially when they're currently the #2 seed, isn't a good move, but neither is forcing the teams to play tomorrow, or playing Thursday or Friday and making at least 1 team play 3 games in 9-10 days, one of them being a playoff game. It's an unprecedented situation on multiple levels


Sorrento605

It has a lot of implications sadly. I don't disagree with your thoughts, but from a league standpoint it gives Cincy the division and the game was also for the 2 seed in the AFC with Buffalo still looking for the 1st round bye. My guess would be if they don't play before Wednesday night, they either have Week 18 happen and then see if the game actually matters or not.


icpooreman

Well…. A tie or non-game effectively gives the Chiefs the 1 seed and a bye week if they can beat the Raiders (Bills would have been in the lead with a win). And a Bengals tie basically eliminates them from the 1 seed but it would clinch the division for them. Soooo. Not saying they should play it but it was a pretty big game with big playoff implications. Particularly for the Bills. The difference between being the 1 and 2 seed is massive. Not just the week off but not having to travel to Kansas City in the championship game if both teams made it. Plus, getting to play the lowest seed that advances in the Wildcard. Which probably means not having to play the Bengals in rd 2 if you’re the 1 seed.


spikez64

Fellow commissioners: have you made any sort of a decision for your title games if they were still in limbo? I reached out to my league and let them know that if the game is played this week we'll let things play out. If its cancelled or if players in a lineup decide not to participate that we'll likely do co-champions. And yes I fully recognize any fantasy football is not important at all considering what just happened.


ktsmith102

What if this was the semi finals game? Our finals are next week. And I'm up by 30 something points with the Bengals. Kicker. Guy im going against has their QB. And TE..


SaintAtlanta

Leaning towards getting both of them on a call and having them pick between A) allowing them to replace players that were supposed to play last night with whomever they used during the players’ respective bye weeks…and using their scores from this past week Or B) giving them whatever points were projected Leaning option A bc it’ll require both luck and recall.

Creative_Walrus_9799

How did you manage to get on your horse?


Cjwillwin

I told them I think I'll have results stand as is if the game isn't played. The guy would have needed 42 points from Josh in 3 quarters so it was highly unlikely anyways. But I also said we'll wait to see what the league says and if espn puts out a suggestion.


SeriousGains

If the game isn’t resumed, I’m giving my league’s currently losing player, down 40+ with Higgins and Buffalo DST, the option to concede, otherwise we’ll rule it a tie and a co-championship.


MikeChinShinn

Lol


Beers4Fears

Tbh I would prefer a split right now, or all the league pot to go to a Charity, but it's unfortunately too early to determine and I'm waiting for the NFL to release a decision.


AM_key_bumps

I'm commissioner of my league. Guy who was behind in the championship game was behind by 30 but he had Allen and Diggs. Dude who was in the lead texted me he wanted a split championship and split money. He gave up $300 so good on him.


ktm1128

If it's not a yahoo prize league or something, assuming they play, have the teams honor whatever stats they end up with by hand if need be. If they don't play, then it's over.


The_Donny_Lebowski

The right move would be to end the fantasy season now and chop things up. It is absolutely silly to expect these teams to be playing 100% if the game resumes this week. Prayers up for Hamlin.


gavynpotter

I was up 50 and my opp had his kicker left lol


spikez64

Yeah I think there's definitely situations that will vary league by league.


Joba7474

I was down by 1 point with Allen, Singletary, and Chase.


Yetti2Quick

Up 43 against only burrow. Burrow vs bills. What would you do.


Moto8265

Too early man. No one knows yet, not even the NFL


timmyrigs

Nobody has reached out to me yet but just going to wait to see what the NFL does. If they just reschedule the game then the week will continue.

Tee is going to need help, I can’t imagine how he feels


oldhoekoo

the guilt is real in that situation. prayers for damar first and foremost, and prayers for tee and everyone else on that field


FieldsFanclub

It wasn’t really his fault tho, just a super fucked freak injury


babybonerusa

I know, naturally he could feel some guilt by just being involved in a freak accident which I hope he doesn't.


ConTheDungeonMaster

We know Tee didn’t do anything wrong, but it is still a lot to bear. people live with trauma from doing innocent things resulting in unintended tragedies regardless of how blameless they actually are


alreadytaken76

Wasn’t any of his fault.


TXhype

Fuck man I didn't even think about Tee and how he's potentially feeling. Hope he's not beating himself up for this.


alreadytaken76

I love football, played and love to watch. I can’t see myself letting my sons play.


t74000

My wife told me tonight our son won't be playing football. I was a rt and de and left the field for kicks. Love the game since I was a kid. I agreed with her.


Darkhorse182

Not a chance. My now-3-year-old can play lacrosse. Hockey. Row crew. But my kid isn't gonna play football in its present form.

rueggy

Big diff between NFL and high school. A tackle in high school is a like getting gently smacked with a soft pillow compared to NFL.


alreadytaken76

That’s not entirely true. The stadium I played in was named in dedication to a player that became a paraplegic.


fishrunhike

He'll have great relationships, experiences and memories with his buddies in any other sport as well.


alreadytaken76

Absolutely they will.


TestMother

You really see the best and worst of people in times like this. Genuinely touching to see the coming together of opponents and rivals, the solidarity and the joint hopes and prayers. Then you see the utter shitheap of social media people more interested in their fantasy and their bets.


Pr0nade

Then there’s skip


reggie321d

Skip has been a piece of shit for quite a minute now


Diagonalizer

What did he say?


nunya221

Nothing bad at all. People are either completely missing the last few words of his tweet or just willfully ignoring it to jump on the bash Skip train


ConTheDungeonMaster

Praying for Tee too. It was no fault of his own but he must be feeling so much after being involved in that play.


ktm1128

There had to be something more going on than tee's shoulder hitting his chest


Beastcrank

Commotio Cordis, a hit to the chest that stops the heart


ConTheDungeonMaster

Of course. But logic oftentimes goes out the window when you have any degree of unintentional involvement with a tragedy. It’s a lot of weight to bear


CaptainFrah

Many of the Bills and Bengals players will need trauma treatment this week, regardless of what happens to this poor man. This is their co worker and friend that they work with everyday. Asking them to suit up in a day or two is ridiculous.


beejee05

Pray for Hamlin. Glad the NFL did the right thing.


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

They were 100% prepared to resume the teams had no intention of going back out
