Big injuries yes. but nothing like this

The only thing that's never really happened before was the game getting suspended. Players get injured in nearly every game, some worse than others, but it's not so unusual it changed the course of history, the Ohio river or the universe. Sure it's sad, but so are broken bones or your grandma having a stroke. (Sorry if your grandma just recently had a stroke..nothing personal.) Reading all the responses here and elsewhere online one might think a bomb went off in the stadium killing several spectators, but nothing of the sort happened. A young man playing a very violent sport rolled the dice and lost. That's what it boils down to. Everyone who plays professional sports is well aware of the dangers of tough violent contact with other players or even inanimate objects like hard balls and bats even. 
No need to alter how the game resumes. No need to award extra points or penalties or to rub Buffalo's collective backs and pretend the Bengals did something wrong or Tee intentionally harmed this kid in any way. It was an unfortunate incident that at most likely will stir up the debate about the violent nature of football.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not on a mission to out pious anyone or put on a display of being the most sympathetic fan. I've seen my share of injuries and even violent death in my life to start playing that act.
Resume where they left off or cancel the whole damned season and think about whether the game is worth the collective tragedy, pain and the sadness that inevitably follows. That's my take on it.
