I can also see it from the other side. Not everyone is the same mentally. Just because you are a huge beast does not automatically make you able to deal well with situations like this.
If you would have continued for the Superbowl then you should have continued last night unless Hamlin was 100% gone.
As it stands, Hamlin is in the same condition he would have been whether they continued or not.
I'm so back and fourth on this. Admittedly in a partially greedy, selfish way.
I do get it. I wanted to see this match up so bad. Then add on to that how good the Bengals looked in that 1st QTR. No way to know how it would've ended but the chance to set ourselves up in the playoffs while shining in prime time would've been sweet. I also think not playing the game just created a huge headache on so many levels for football and fans.
But having said all that I just think it was too big a tragedy to continue. We are use to seeing significant injuries to players but they can get fixed up and have the chance to play again. I wouldn't have been fair to the Bills as I think the players in they're secondary would've really struggled to play a game when they are worried about they're friends life.
