I saw the trainers started yelling a bit and seemed to have a sense of urgency so i was worried something major was up.

Just take the “L” on this one and move on.
They just called it for the night, will revisit with teams on next steps.
Yes, Booger McFarland. Good dude. He is the only talking sense on that set.
Modern medicine is incredible. If his heart wasn’t stopped for very long he can survive this and make a full recovery! But yes no more ******* football tonight.
Sure, but officially it's the NFL making the call, and I found that kind of surprising.
Not necessarily. I'm pretty sure in plenty of other sports league, including MLB and a lot of soccer leagues. The officials can call the game. It doesn't have to be the league
Not sure why everyone is so mad at the NFL. It's only been just over an hour since the injury occurred. They suspended the game and more than likely gathered all the information they could and talked to both teams. They probably were waiting for accurate info on Hamlin's condition and when it was found it wasn't improved or worsened, they postponed the game. All within an hour. That is pretty quick IMO.
Right or wrong some people dislike Goodell and that probably figures into a lot of the opinion.
He's going to have better insights on this than everyone else in this thread. He's obviously not saying he's there administering treatment to the guy, but he has experience with this stuff. Not sure why you're going out of your way to crap all over it.
It seems odd that he was able to get up after that hit, I assume that is extremely rare for CC?

Their initial decision was to give the teams 5 minutes to get ready, and then resume play. From the look of things, the teams might have refused, because the coaches went and talked to the referees, and that's when they all left the field, and the longer stoppage was announced. I'm sure we'll hear more about what all went down, but if the league initially wanted them to resume play after 5 minutes, it's not going to be a good look.

It wouldnt surprise me if the 5 minutes thing is just what the rules call for. So that was the default move. They obviously quickly realized that wasn't going to be adequate.
Your body can still function for a very short time (second or so) when you have a heart attack or heart issues.
There are a lot of reasons to **** on Goddell but i think all-in-all things were handled ok.
I know this would be the case in every NFL city, but he is at the UC Medical Center, which is a World Class Hospital and Trauma Center and very close to Paul Brown Stadium.
