So is there any word on what actually happened?
The blow looks like it hit him more in the chest then the head to me? Did the hot stop his heart?
Looks like it. They used the defib on him, and they are calling it a cardiac arrest.
1 in a million hit in the exact wrong spot at the exact wrong time. I hope he ends up ok. Other then in a hospital I'm not sure they could have been in a better place. There had to have been dozens on both sides of the ball that knew what happened and acted as fast as possible. Including having the equipment in place to do as much good as they could have.
On to the game side. I wonder what they're going to do for results? Do they record it as a tie? Or subtract it out and have the Bills and Bengals have a 16 game season? Very interesting and I'm sure it'll have some sort of playoff implications.
It was a pretty brutal hit for sure. Seemed more to the collarbone area than the heart, but it looked bad. And yes, having the defib equip is essential. So glad they were able to revive him.
And on the game side, glad I didn't have to make that call. Can hardly expect players to keep playing after that, but it certainly throws a loop in the playoff seeding.
these guys are in the 20's and 30's....Seeing something like that right b4 their eyes is pretty traumatic.
Who here couldn't help but think about Big K through this?

I’m old. That picture looks old and I can remember Stringer like yesterday. Can remember where I was at when the news hit.

Plenty of people at all ages that have never seen trauma, or medical emergencies up close, its one of the things that makes being a first responder difficult is dealing with those that are looking on and seem to be in the way, they havent experienced this type of stuff before and dont have the emotional calluses, of course that goes both ways, sometimes people think responders are soulless or dont care, but part of that is familiarity, part is process ( making sure to focus on the patient, not the loved ones) but part of it is for self preservation and to be able to do that job again tomorrow or when ever the bell rings again.
by the way... if you are ever around an EMS situation..... please leave your phone in your pocket, or at least dont press charges when a first responder smacks it out of your hands and brings a boot down on it. nothing pisses me off more than finding video or pictures of our calls on facebook or other. personally I think posting that kind of shit should be illegal and people should be publicly flogged for taking and disseminating those types of things.

Yup, trauma hits all ages for sure...
Our EMS staffers have gone through so much the past few years and its still harder than heck for them. I know you know this first hand too.
Happy new year buddy and best wishes to you and your family in 23.
