Bills Safety Damar Hamlin Collapses On Field...Officials Administer Emergency CPR - 24 year old NFL player collapses suddenly

1/2/2023 6:22 PM PT​

Horrifying moment during the Bills vs. Bengals game on "Monday Night Football" -- Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed at the end of a play ... and required CPR in the middle of the field.

The incident happened just minutes into the game's first quarter ... right after Hamlin tackled Tee Higgins to the ground.

The 24-year-old -- a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft -- appeared to get up from the stop just fine ... but he seemed to lose consciousness as he got to his feet, and crumpled to the ground.

Medical personnel raced onto the field -- and according to the game's announcer, Joe Buck, officials performed CPR on him for several minutes.

He was eventually strapped to a backboard and then loaded onto a stretcher. He was then taken off the field in an ambulance.

Players from both teams were visibly concerned for the defensive back -- Josh Allen buried his face in his hands, while Stefon Diggs had tears running down his face. Reporters on the scene said multiple other players were seen crying.

The league has temporarily suspended play in wake of the injury.

I was rewatching videos of the hit and I think that when he got hit in the chest it disrupted the signals to his heart and he just had a heart attack. I'm not a doctor obviously and I don't know shit but that's my guess. Likely the man's dead.

Is it too early to ask if he'd recently had his vaccines booster?

Even if they manage to get his ticker back on track, they were administering CPR for 5+ minutes. I'd be worried about brain damage.
EDIT: The most recent update even said he had a pulse again, but wasn't breathing on his own. I don't think the heart's the long-term problem, just the trigger.

A Player dead on a game is really shocking for NFL standard.

 

[Salubrious]

Yeah, I hope he lives, but it's looking unlikely.

A Go Fund Me is being passed around, not for the injury, but because this man was holding a toy drive.

It was $32K was I looked at it five minutes ago. It's up to $187K already at 10:03 pm EST.

Edit: Jesus Christ, 2 hours later and it's at $1.3M. There may be some hope for humanity after all.

Wouldn't be the first time. Bills fans donated like $450K to the Andy Dalton fund after he beat the Ravens to send the Bills to the playoffs for the first time in 18 years.

Hell no the cameras weren't showing that. We only got news that he was getting CPR from fans in the stands.

could you tell if they defibbed him on the field??

The whole team surrounded him so you couldn't really see what was going on but the looks on the faces of the team/coach tells you everything you need to know.

Outkick says yes.

Hamlin was treated with an Automated External Defibrillator and had a neck shroud placed around his head. Medical personnel also administered CPR on Hamlin before loading him into an ambulance that had been driven onto the field.

Game canceled. Did the right thing for once.

 

[Buffalo Chicken Sandwich]

Something interesting finally happens and they cancel the game

It's only happened once before, although oddly enough under similar circumstances

Football Thursday: Legacy of Chuck Hughes goes deeper than being only NFL player to die on field during a game

Chuck Hughes' relatives are certain that his death forced the NFL to install defibrillators in every stadium and changed players' perceptions about faking injuries at the end of games. But they suggest something bigger about Hughes' impact on the game.

Man I needed Singletary to score for my fantasy championship.

Get that dead nigger off the field and keep going. Unless this is a first five minutes of The Last Boy Scout scenario, then do your job.

I'm sorry, but did Damar Hamlin already die? Oh, that's right. The operation isn't even over yet. In fact, it's only critial condition. Does not having a pulse at halftime count as a death? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make this topic when the game is still on? Damar Hamlin is still living right now and he is up to date on his COVID boosters for many years now? He took one of the worst hits in the NFL who just happen to collapse because he was feeling a bit light headed. But you know what? They still fucking fine. Damar Hamlin is one of the best safeties in the NFL, the bills went 12-3 last year and would of won the Super Bowl if the quaterback didn't choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when Damar Hamlin lives and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, the doctors just stepped out of the operating room. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti- Damar Hamlin topics because you're a faggot hater who doesn't like the man because he'e good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking teams on the board, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your threads now, you're a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don't you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That's just you, you're always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

hmm, smelling some nice fresh pasta, I like it.

 

[Cable 7]

I smell commotio cordis. The angle and location number 85 struck on his chest lines up with this diagram showing the most likely area of attack for it.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Is it too early to ask if he'd recently had his vaccines booster?

Even if that were the case, the replay shows that he was hit hard in both the neck and chest area. I highly doubt vaccines would do anything about this. If anything, this looks about as worse as a concussion.

 

[The Big O]

Me being the cynical bastard I am, I'd say this was a result of the coof vax. But I think Occam's Razor applies here because that was a nasty spill he took, and this sort of thing is not uncommon for the NFL. Rare to see a player die on field from it though, but it has apparently happened once before.
