He said he was surprised at some of the fans' reactions in the aftermath. He thought the Bengals and Bills handled it the right way, forcing the NFL to cancel the game. He went on to say some fans were PO'd about the cancellation and the possible coin toss. He went on to say the optics of it weren't good.
I sometimes think he spouts off stuff to get a reaction. In this case, I think he was just a bit shocked by the reactions.
Didn't hear any "boos" where I was sitting (Club Seats Bengals side), it was pretty quiet. No one in our section knew what was going on. But, aside from wondering what happened (all we saw was Tee getting tackled and Damar standing and then falling down). People were on their phones to find out what was happening.
We sort of knew it was serious once we saw the medical people rush out immediately. We also knew it was very serious when the ambulance came on the field. There are some couches behind our section near a concession stand. We went there and hung for a while asking concession workers what they knew (nothing) and what some other people who were trying to get info on their phones could find out (not much). They were looking at the same feed I guess people watching on TV saw.
Once we saw Zak and Sean meet on the sidelines with the refs and the teams moving towards their tunnel, we knew the game wasn't going to be played. We milled around a while. No one knew what was going on. But, it was quite somber. Aside from a few (maybe 3-4) really drunk people (Bengals fans, unfortunately) yelling some pretty nasty stuff, everyone was shocked, concerned and sort of "in the dark".
The entire time, it was pretty danged quiet given there were ~65,000 all around
