Nobody was "getting real time info and updates of exactly what's happening", not the teams, not the game officials, not the broadcasters and not the NFL New York office.
The rule for extended game delays is a warm up period then resume the game. That, along with a normalcy bias that Hamlin would be OK, I don't have a issue with the NFL waiting to make a decision. I have no problem with allowing the teams involved and officials the ground making the decision and the Commissioner backing it up.
