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.

Good levelheaded take.
In situations like this, I think it's easy to want to assign blame and divert emotion to a target. That's likely what I was doing, and it wasn't fair of me to assume there weren't protocols in place and Goodell would defer to coaches and players that experienced it firsthand. Thanks for the check.
