He's in IR, so he's done for the year. Sounds like his recovery isn't as quick as we'd believe.

Hopefully he'll make the game.

Bills' Hamlin faces long recovery, family spokesman tells AP

Remarkable as Damar Hamlin’s recovery has been, the Buffalo Bills safety still faces a lengthy rehabilitation some three weeks after going into cardiac arrest and needing to be resuscitated on the field during a game in Cincinnati, his marketing representative told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

“Damar still requires oxygen and is having his heart monitored regularly to ensure there are no setbacks or after effects,” Jordon Rooney said. “Though he is able to visit the team’s facility, Damar is not in position to travel often, and requires additional rest to help his body heal.”

Maybe his heart suffered some damage?

Awww, the Jags gave me hope, but in the end Vegas was nearly spot on.

If Dungy was a White supremacist or anti-Semite you would drop him like a hot potato. Why the double standard? NO bigots on air.

Shit, borderline wingnut.

Tony Dungy deletes controversial cat litter tweet after backlash, outrage

"borderline"?

Tony Dungy apologizes after spreading debunked anti-transgender conspiracy theory
The NBC commentator has a long history of pushing harmful anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric while invoking his religious beliefs

... Dungy has a history of discriminatory rhetoric against the LGBTQ+ community while using his religion as an excuse to do so. He also spoke at a March for Life event in Washington, D.C. on Friday and invoked Damar Hamlin — the Buffalo Bills safety who collapsed on the field this season — while advocating for an end to abortion, which was a weird leap to make.

Misogynist, too. Figures. Kudos for the apology, but it still highlights that Dungy is a gullible, christofascist bigot.

Despite his tweet this week, Dungy will still be on the air for NBC’s playoff coverage this weekend. He will participate in the network’s pregame and halftime shows for the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.

I'm going to have to register for neoplacebo's remedial scathing class.

Full disclosure: I used to identify as a goat, but the pellets were a hassle to clean up.

Jags can go home proud. Proved they deserved to be there, played mostly well, and were one unfortunate fumble from a possible win. Maybe Jags fans can say "wait 'til next year" with some actual reality.

Almost everybody rose a little bit after the Jags' loss, but KC not that dramatically. Looks like the Eagles will make up some ground on KC.

Winner travels to dominant Philly.

I like the Niners' story this year, and really hope their Cinderella QB doesn't turn into a newt. "Mr. Irrevelant" third string guy gets a chance and takes the team to the Super Bowl. On TV, you'd say, "as if" but IRL it's a great story. Bills-Bengals, go football and don't get anybody else badly hurt.

Jimmy Garoppolo injury update: 49ers' Kyle Shanahan says QB could be available by NFC title game, Super Bowl
Garoppolo has been sidelined since Week 13 with a broken foot

Could Jimmy Garoppolo be available for the NFC Championship? San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says it's a possibility.

The sidelined quarterback has an "outside chance" of being ready for the conference championship if the team advances past the Dallas Cowboys, Shanahan said, per Adam Schefter. He added "there'd be a better chance" for him to be ready for the Super Bowl if San Francisco makes the big game....

Garoppolo suffered a broken foot against the Miami Dolphins in December and was initially ruled out for the season. Days later, Shanahan said there was a "way outside chance" he could return for the playoffs. With original starter Trey Lance out for the year with a broken ankle that required surgery, the team put their faith in third-string quarterback Brock Purdy, and he hasn't let them down one bit.

Purdy was the last player picked in the 2022 NFL Draft, but Mr. Irrelevant soon became very relevant as he thrived as their starter and helped lead the Niners to the No. 2 seed. His first start came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he went on to become the first quarterback to defeat Tom Brady in their first-ever start.

Since then, Purdy has won every game with the team, going an impressive 6-0 that included a 41-23 wild-card win over the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy has a 67.1 completion percentage with 1,374 yards, 13 interceptions, four interceptions and a 107.3 quarterback rating. Through 11 games, Garoppolo has a 67.2 completion percentage with 2,437 yards, 16 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 103.0 quarterback rating....

IF SF keeps winning and Purdy looks good, what do you do if you're Shanahan? I say stick with the hot hand rookie, but nobody's ever offered me a head coach job.

Betcha Damar Hamlin is there. He's been showing up at the practice facility every day, but TV didn't say he's practicing. Attending the game would be a huge nod to the people of Cincy that saved his life and gave so much support to him and his family.

He's in IR, so he's done for the year. Sounds like his recovery isn't as quick as we'd believe.

Hopefully he'll make the game.

It's Purdy's job. Jimmy only sees the field if Purdy gets hurt.

Maaaybe if Jimmy was 1st string, but he was 2nd string anyhow.

Their stats are remarkably similar.

Jimmy Garoppolo
CMP% 67.2, YDs 2437, TD 16, INT 4 YD/Att 7.91, Rate 103.0
Brock Purdy
Regular Season CMP% 67.1, YDs 1374, 13, INT 4, YD/Att 8.08, Rate 107.3
Post Season 18/30, 60.0%, YDs 332, TD 3, INT 0, Rate 131.5

Neither have rushing stats to bother with.
The big difference is that Garoppolo was 7-3 while Purdy is now 7-0. Idk how much to attribute those 3 losses to Jimmy, but he went 4-0 after the last one.

Phew, Bills scored . However, Cincy is in the red zone at the 1st half 2 minute warning.
EDIT:
EDIT: Righteously reversed on replay , FG, 7-17.

They score more points with Purdy.

Cincinnati's O line, down three starters has been remarkable. I thought it would be the difference in the game.

Wrong again.

https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/1 ... olo-49ers/

Good point. Also:

... Garoppolo is scheduled to become a free agent after this season and will likely play elsewhere during the 2023 season. San Francisco entered this season with Trey Lance as the starting quarterback. The team's handling of the situation will likely be one of the top 49ers-related offseason storylines....

More reason to stick with Purdy. Their QB of the future?
