Probably just don't know what to do and hopefully their lack of quick response is because they're focusing on what really matters right now -- which is Hamlin. They can come up with answers later. I can't see them playing this game so whatever solution they come up with can wait.

It's going to reverberate into this weekends games as well.

Just rough! Love my Chiefsplanet fam! I’m going to bed! Hoping for some positive news in the morning.

that doesnt make you a pussy at all man it just means you can healthily deal with your emotions

Good luck making that work.

What happened to Hamlin is more immediate and direct than maybe anything that's ever happened to a player in the NFL, but that is true and that's the other unspoken thing here with all this. We're all watching a sport here where guys are literally destroying their bodies and their brains for our entertainment (granted they are at least well compensated for it). We just don't have to see the results of that 20-30 years down the road for these guys, but it is happening and it is shortening lifespans. Where do you draw the line with stuff like this?

The line is on the contract. And they sign their names above that line.

Well, record and winning percentage would be the determinant before head-to-head competition.

Somebody's going to get screwed. Could be Buffalo and Cincy by making them play rushed games just as the playoffs are starting up. Could be just Buffalo by telling them they have to forfeit. Could be the Chiefs by making a decision like this.

There's no perfect or ideal solution. And there's no compromise. People just have to be adults and roll with something and be understanding that the circumstances are what they are.

I can't see the NFL calling up KC and making them choose if they want the 1 or 2 seed - that's an unwinnable situation, and not one the NFL should put any team in. Ultimately, the NFL has to sack up and make some tough choices, knowing it's impossible to make everyone happy. Personally, I think it would have to come down to winning %, and it is what it is - a shitty situation all around.

Hospital was preparing some sort of Press release but it's been cancelled.

From Damar Hamlin’s agent Ira Turner of @Agency1AMG:

“Please continue to pray for Damar and his family. We currently have no update at this time. Will ask that you keep the family in your prayers.“

Guys, I tend to hate the NFL/Goodell as much as anyone, but we need to pump the brakes just a skosh here. Pretty much all the NFL has done so far is follow their playbook of procedures. Which is what they're there for. To buy them time to think up the right response. Now, in this particular case, which has never happened before in anyone's memory, the playbook is falling short of the proper response. But it's also really vanilla. That's what the playbook is for. Slow things down until they can figure out what to actually do. Every large corporation operates like this.

They're waiting to see what happens with Hamlin before they do anything, that's all.

I can’t even imagine what Tee Higgins is thinking/feeling right now.
