Thrilled for Damar and his family.

I can't be the only one that had some dust in his eyes after reading that he woke up overnight.

Now we just need to hope for two things

MRI comes back as normal as possible

Lungs completely heal and he can get off ventilator

According to Kaiir Elam he did.

Our boy is doing better, awake and showing more signs of improvement. Thank you God. Keep the prayers coming please. All love 3!

Incredible! He must be like wtf happened!? Must feel like he’s been hibernating.

Incredible news, because that hopefully means he didn't suffer any damage to his brain.

"Adam Schefter believes the NFL will not look to resume the Bengals vs. Bill game and that league is working towards either a potential neutral site AFC Championship game or 1 seed choosing between getting having a bye or home field with 2 seed getting whatever not picked."

I kind of suspected that they wouldn't look to push back the season. None of these are ideal but no solution is going to be ideal. I think Cincy is the team that is going to be screwed.

I think that is the thinking. The official statement was kind of generic but the details are extremely encouraging. I still can't believe it.

This is such good news.

Also Damar's dad addressing the team via zoom.

I'm still wondering if the Bills play on Sunday?
Wonder if some players still opt out?

I can't imagine the game not happening on sunday. They have to know that the season is going to move on and that they will be hurting themselves if they don't play. Hopefully this bit of good news helps move the process along.

I still think some of Damar's closest friends/ teammates may have a problem playing. Unless they continue to update with positive news.

Win one for Damar

You might be right about that, although I suspect that if he keeps trending in the direction he is going in they might feel good enough to play. That said, I think everyone would understand if someone just can't do it.

Win the whole damn thing for Damar

I'd prefer they win it for us Sabre fans, but as long as we get the Cup who cares?

You should get a Damar jersey 😉

I've always felt that the nfl guides certain teams into winning positions. Basically the WWF.

As Damar gains strength, hopefully the Bills follow...

Where is the best place to buy Sabres gear?
I think it's time for a goat Tage "Mother(frank)ing" Thompson jersey.


Edit: Would be nice to get it before the 14th and wear it to the game down here.

Hamlin is awake and with his family.

Freaking amazing he made it.

Great for Hamlin

But

If this was a normal person…

So let’s stop acting like it’s a miracle

If it was a normal person he/she would get life saving care.

Or you think doctors and EMT workers would do nothing?

You know high populated areas, shopping malls and other places have defibrillators?


Try trolling harder next time.

The amplification is because of the national stage he was performing on, of course. He's part of the NFL, Buffalo, professional sports communities so of course the story is amplified.

No one knows Average Joe down the street that this may have also happened to, but locally within his circle, the same concern and in this case, relief, applies.

Not sure that needed to be explained but in the twitter world and for one case here, it apparently did.

It would be silly to think the average Joe/Jill isn't getting life saving care every day.

Or they are just left on the street to die? People call 911 and they get care.

350,000 people have cardiac arrests each year. around 50% get life saving care.

Anyone who thinks they are left on the street to die is just trying to create hate.


20% who get care survive, those are the average Joes/Jills.

Why are people trying to spin this into something its not?

Let’s not act like random Joe would get the same attention, care and hard work spent saving his life.
