Am I the only one that thinks the NFL handled the injury nearly flawlessly last night?

Trainers were on the field within 90 seconds of the tackle giving Hamlin CPR. If this was delayed even another minute or two he could be brain dead. Turns out they revived his heart beat on the field, loaded him into an ambulance immediately, and he was at UC medical center in under 10 minutes with a police escort.
That was honestly the most quick, efficient, and its looking like now successful logistical outcome the NFL could have hoped for. Other leagues should look to this as an example of what to do.
The NFL officially announced the cancellation of the game roughly 50 minutes after the injury - which is, by the way, not only incredibly unprecedented for them to do but also very quick given the circumstances, but also the right thing to do. They likely made the decision to do this after initially pausing the game when teams were sent to the locker rooms. Sorry the NFL didn't reach their typewriters fast enough to draft a postponement letter to the media, they had more important things to worry about, like making sure their player who could die makes it to the hospital as quickly and as safely as possible. People on twitter are just trying to one up each other on who can be the most outraged at the NFL. The funny part is the 90% of the blue checkmarks outraged at the NFL are atheists who won't even pray for the guy lmao. The only thing they worship is social media attention and making sure everyone knows how nice of a person they are. They are always looking for someone to blame. It's looking like this was some freak accident that is no one's fault. Christ, have some humility and composure. Good Lord.
Edit: The '5 minutes to warm up' thing is also a confirmed lie. The NFL never forced players to warm up. There is protocol to allow players 5 minutes to warm up if a game is delayed due to weather or injury for more than 20 minutes. But the NFL nixed that very quickly.

But you won't get internet clout by feigning outrage and distress.

They did. And I wish Twitter never existed. 99% of people on there don’t deserve a platform.

Yeah man I think it was fine. Even the commentators and studio people had no idea what to do. Discussing a tragedy isn’t really their job description.
Honestly the part that seemed the most off to me was the long running SVP and Clark emotional dialogue where SVP kept wanting to go in on the nfl potentially playing the game without really knowing what they actually wanted to do.

I'm not here to defend the NFL, but you're probably pretty spot on here. You see this every time there's a shocking situation, people spouting off from their couches on what should be done and how it isn't happening fast enough with no real concept of the logistics and legwork it takes behind the scenes to get things done.

Also, the NFL said it never issued that "take a 5 minute break before resuming play" direction, so I'm not sure where that came from.

They deserve tremendous credit for this.

Doesn't UC have excellent medical care?

What made no sense was everybody jumping to conclusions on what the NFL was wanting to make the players do in an unprecedented situation that they had never been in before.
Didn't think it was flawless but just a case of not knowing what to do. I would be willing to bet they have a set plan in place going forward, God forbid something like that ever happens again.

The decision to cancel the game or not was superfluous. All that mattered was getting Hamlin immediate care and off to the hospital. That all happened flawlessly from what we could tell.
The outrage over “they didn’t cancel the game fast enough” is insane. It got canceled in basically an hour with the commissioner not even there. Information had to be assessed and relayed through two teams plus the NFL and the NFLPA. It’s not like goodell was going to unilaterally snap his fingers and say game off the second the ambulance drove away. There’s a mountain of logistics to think about.
The great irony in all this will be if ESPN somehow tries to come after the NFL contract wise for not playing a major football game even though their on air talent was screaming to cancel the game. ESPN pays over a billion to broadcast like 17 total games. Each one matters more to them as far as the price per game than any other network I believe.

if you're actively performing CPR, you don't load the patient until you get a heart beat
Posted on 1/3/23 at 12:56 pm to Jasonwilliamstaxes28
The only snafu was the NFL originally telling the teams they had 5 minutes to get it together and start playing again. Other than that, hard to argue with the way it was handled

Likely some dumbass ESPN producer feeding that to Joe Buck off of an assumption or second hand knowledge. Or joe is a complete idiot and assumed that himself.
So much of the outrage is basically just ESPN fanning flames assuredly for cable news ratings rather than just staying calm and reporting what’s happening. But they’d much rather report outrage to us and demanded we all follow suit.

A lot of people don't like Joe Buck, but his professionalism can't be disputed. He handled the situation as well as could be expected and I would bet any amount of money that he didn't pull the 5-minute thing out of his arse. He knows better. Someone fed him that info and he went with it.
Hopefully one day down the road when the time is right, someone will do a 30-30 type report about last night and what all went into it.

They did a great job. Everyone is just so mentally weak these days, they can not handle anything without there being some kind of major breakdown.
Mental midgets.

If CPR is the only thing keeping the patient alive, you don't stop to move them. Especially if they don't have a secure airway.
