No. Maybe if you are untrained and not certain if someone has a pulse, or how to check for a pulse, but you don’t start CPR knowing someone has a pulse.


And again to clarify, for someone who isn’t sure, or doesn’t have training, starting compressions is the right move. Those with training would check for a pulse first.

I tend to agree. Honestly, I am not predicting this, but I won't be shocked if several players from either team retire. I've rarely seen the looks of panic and dread on the faces of human beings than what I saw from several players. I could see some of them going home to their wives and kids tonight and saying "yeah, I'm good. I've made a few million (at least) so I think selling insurance may not suck after all".

Again, not predicting it, just saying it wouldn't surprise me.

No clue to be honest. I wouldn’t think they would have that kind of turnaround, but just saying if they were contemplating it, exceptions could easily enough be made. I don’t see how they could play that quickly, nor should they.

You realize sir, that a person can have a pulse and still not be breathing...right

An example would be someone who has drowned, yet still has a weak faint pulse.

Troy Vincent says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was devastated. The conference call is now finished.

Roger is devastated. That's about all we got out of that presser.

Yes

This is why we have assisted ventilation.

Do you think everyone on a ventilator is getting chest compressions?

Do you think that once his pulse was back they continued to give CPR?




Attention to the section on “No normal breathing, pulse felt”

Again this seems like the Bills anticipate being back in CIN soon.

They’re staying with Hamlin. They want to be with him

JJ Watt must be thanking his lucky stars he made it through this season without a problem after he had the A-Fib event and chose to keep playing. He’s retiring this year. I think about some of those guys in the past who quit at a young age. They look pretty smart right now. Guys like Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, and Patrick Willis.

My condolences on what has to be a frustrating and depressing "debate."

Also from the NFL conf call: A question was raised about the league’s plans to reschedule. Exec VP Jeff Miller said, as of now, there are no plans to resume the game — but a decision will be made at the appropriate time #bills #bengals

Is “no plans to resume” the same as “planning not to resume”?

Yep. The NFL Players Union would also likely support this position, especially if many Bills players didn't want to play. Bills get home after 3AM. By the time they process with their loved ones, there will be scant time to sleep before getting on the plane for a Tuesday game. Looking like a Wednesday game, with week 18 postponed to Monday and a short week for one or two playoff teams. It's a really complex decision with no ideal solutions.

Welp, what's done is done. NFL needs to move swiftly on what their next move is going to be. Both teams are scheduled to play Sunday.

Will we see the first ever Wednesday night football game? It's a four day spread from Wednesday to Sunday, same as Sunday to Thursday. That's my best guess. Oh, and the Bengals still win.

Very, very, interesting. Sounds like both teams retain the record they currently have.

And what is the appropriate time? Do they see who wins and loses next week and decide how much the game mattered?
