***Week 17 GameDay Thread - Bills @ Bengals***

[*michaelsean*]

United again with the Bills I guess.

Someone in the NFL needs to show some leadership and call it a no contest.

[TheUberHuber]

Damn that's some heartbreaking stuff. Glad they suspended the game. Hope that guy ends up ok.

[Bengalitis]

I'd like to see the replay.

I think you call the game. Question is what does the league do with 2 teams that will play 1 less game. Lots of money given up

Burrow's eyes warming up are a shell of himself.

So many thousand yard stares.

This is ******.

Kind of reminds me of opening day with the Reds and the umpire dropping dead on the field..

The coaches are probably on the phone with the owners and Goodell

I judt don't see them calling the game. They can't really re-schedule it at this point, they've sold 70K tickets, and thw tv contracts.

It didn’t look that bad. He jumped up and then collapsed flat on his back.

It'll probably be postponed. Don't see this continuing tonight.

Again, it reminds me of when Christian Erikson went into cardiac arrest during a soccer match...he just goes down and it's almost like "Wait...what was that?" 

Both cases looked like a guy just hit the deck and only when you saw the medical staff and teams huddling around to block the view of the medical personal administering CPR did it sink in that something serious happened.

It seems Taylor and McDermott both declined to send their players out, and Taylor was with McDermott a lot during this.

I get that it's a business and the show must go on, but WWE still has a black eye for making that call after Owen Hart passed.

I know - WWE and NFL are apples and oranges, but that's about the closest thing I can think of.

Very likely they will play, after an hour delay.

Or someone who is stunned and not moving at the same speed and then he gets effed up.

The Lions had a player die on the field at Tiger Stadium some 50+ years ago. He was a WR and had a heart attack during the game. They rushed him to the hospital but he didn't make it. He's the only player to ever die on the field, and let's keep it that way.

That is my thought. They cannot call it outright because the game has playoff implications. They could postpone it 24 or 48 hours to let everyone get their focus back on football. 

[Foolishpride]

Call the game a tie and everyone go home.
