Carr has next Stafford written all over him
Raiders have been a poor team for most of his tenure. I read that his stats put him in the top 10 QBs. Someone will want to take a chance on him

MNF.
Damar Hamlin of the Bills collapses after a routine tackle. 9 minutes of CPR, then into an ambulance. It's terrifying - game postponed. Incredible scenes I have never seen before.
Amazing scenes alright.
On the competition side this has an impact on the division outcomes. Not that anyone is worried about that at the moment but it may make things complicated for the playoffs and the officials are going to have to make some big calls.

Watching it live it didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary other than getting hit flush in the chest. Damar was able to get up but then collapsed immediately after.
Took me back to Hank Gathers.

Frankly, I'm really struggling to process this. It looks like a cardiac type injury - heart attack or similar - but goddamn.
Injuries are part of watching,a nd I was literally talking to my Bengals supporting mate about struggling to see big hits and watch teh sport ... and then this happens. The players looked devastated.
Crazy times.

The GoFundMe page Damar ran is about to tick over $1M of a $2500 goal.
Bills Mafia are awesome
That was for a Toy Drive for the local community.

Sounds like another Christian Erikson situation

Slight OT: how good are these college football playoff games. That TCU win over Michigan was huge. Emari Demercado was a beast.
Then Georgia hang on for a nail biter against Ohio State, who I wanted to go all the way.
That Tulane win over USC was big time too.
Would love TCU to get over the Bulldogs and cause a big upset.

Jim Harbaugh comes up short in a championship game. Story of his coaching career.
Be interesting if he goes back to the NFL (rumour is Broncos are interested).

@ACT-Crusader It would have been good to have an all Big 10 final.

Some speculation.
Was it a helmet to chest hit? I am always puzzled by the NFL rationale that they need helmets for protection and yet so often they are used offensively

No. He was the tackler. Heavy chest to chest impact.

Looked like helmet was there too. But I've seen much worse. He might have an undiagnosed condition like Christian Eriksen

i saw an interesting hypothesis where there is a split second in the heartbeat cycle where the heart is actually quite exposed and in danger. If the hit was right at this minuscule point in time, and throw in a hit of adrenalin from the whiplash effect, and his heart rhythm gets proper fucked up. Hence why he got up, but then immediately collapsed.
scary shit man. the collision sports really are stupid
