Saints fan here, feel so bad for you guys and for Rodgers. I hope thats not how it ends, just an awful, unlucky ending for the best qb I’ve ever watched.
This has to be one of the craziest things to ever happen in NFL QB history given the storyline & everything that was taking place. Absolutely devastating that this had to happen. Praying for a speedy & healthy recovery for Rodgers.
As a lifelong Packer fan, I wish Rodgers a speedy recovery and hope he does what is best for him. Regardless I'll never forget all the memories of greatness he's given us over his football career
The fact that some "Packer fans" up in a bar were cheering when he got hurt. The bar owner said if the Jets lose all your bar tabs are wiped. And everyone was racking up huge tabs and la de da they win.
As a guy whose 6 months post Achilles repair surgery, the worst part in my opinion is the muscle atrophy from not using your foot and or weight bearing for weeks. It has been a struggle to get that muscle back to its old capabilities, let alone trusting it to hold up when making athletic movements
As a Packers fan I was sickened by what happened to Rodgers. I sincerely hope that isnt the end of his career and I would love to see him bounce back next season. It felt a lot like the Gordon Hayward injury in his first game for the Celtics. Godspeed to Aaron, and hopefully this incident is enough to push the change away from turf.
I believe that is true of the vast majority of Packers fans. It’s not unlike Lakers fans. Rodgers is family, and families fight. You didn’t want him to coast to a SB, like Favre before, no more than we wanted Shaq to roll to a title in Miami. But… Jets fans felt heartbreak for their lost, possible SB season. Packers fans felt for family.
@@modernblue24 LOL. Took me much longer than it should have to connect Wisconsin and Green Bay Packers to the Lakers and Milwaukee. All I can offer in defense (I’m Los Angeles) is if you’ve ever had the fortune to visit Lambeau Field in Green Bay, it’s not easy to grasp. It’s a tiny town with homes quite literally nestled right up to NFL’s most hallowed “frozen tundra” with almost nothing else. It ain’t Jerry World or SoFi to be sure. It is kind of like seeing the KFC by the Great Pyramids. It makes no sense in this modern sports era of TV market valuations.
@@modernblue24 I was born in Chicago, moved to Pittsburgh, then Hong Kong, Chicago again, Atlanta, San Francisco, then Los Angeles. Been to Fenway, Rose Bowl, Soldier Field, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium, and all the legendary sports venues. As a kid growing up pre cable on Facenda and the tundra, that was bucket list. Blew my damn mind seeing it among small suburb homes rather than the great skylines of the other cities. (and yeah, makes it all the more special to be sure. Packers shouldn't exist today. Except when playing the Niners, and stealing Reggie, I'm a fan.)
I wanted him to do well this year. That sucks ao hard. Not only because of the pain or because of the recovery but because I'm a football fan. - From a Vikings fan.
Not an expert in grass or turf technology but just to add to the conversation, Australia played Mexico a few days ago in soccer at Cowboy's stadium and one of our Aussie boys had a major knee injury thanks to the turf.
@@BlueAmerican26 Yeah, but it isn't Astro Turf. I played football in HS and college in the late 80's and early 90s on actual Astro Turf. It was a thin carpet glued to cement. (Watch Joe Montana play the Giants or Eagles to see the worst offenders.) My joints hurt just walking for a week after playing on that stuff. It was little different than being tackled in the street, never mind the rug burns. My elbows are literally scarred. The modern artificial stuff is not like that. It has issues, but it's not the cause of Rodgers achilles injury, no more than the hardwood caused Kobe's. Both were caused by the same thing. High mileage on the late 30 year old bodies of elite athletes who, due to their greatness, annually played deep into the post season of their sports.
@@dangerousdylan6262 The turf today has issues, but it’s not the same as Astro Turf. It’s complicated by the absurd power and speed of today’s athletes (Zion for example) out kicking the coverage in terms of ability of joints and tendons to keep up. Never mind that until very recently, pro careers were done by 35. Messi, LeBron, Brady simply didn’t exist a decade ago. I didn’t say artificial turf has no role in athlete injuries today, just that it was not responsible for Aaron Rodgers blowing an Achilles, at age 39, on an absolutely routine tackle.
To anyone who’s had this injury, they know how hard it is to recover from- just as a human, let alone an athlete. Hoping Rodgers gets to play again for his own sake and legacy. Wishing him well.
@@drapples9674 I tore mine at age 39 -same age as Rogers, complete tear but calcaneus intact, it was 9 months before I felt comfortable running on it. Best of luck to Rogers he can come back from this
My prediction is that if he comes back is he will be more peyton manning like. Stand in the pocket and pass. Or hand off quick. Although I know here in Australia guys have come back quickly and confidently in rugby league from Achilles tears I believe but could be wrong they’ve developed a system where they take a stretch of your glutes or hamstring and replace the tendon or tie it with that, and if a guy can play rugby league like that, a guy can play gridiron like that. So it’s not impossible
My sister's best friend busted both of hers. And I was watching surgery to repair and it looks like a long, thin white rubber band. But man. Just watching what they were doing to repair it. Man. If you haven't seen it, it's interesting.
@@Bsquaredplus2a guy like rodgers will come back if for no other reason than to make sure his last play isn’t resulting in him being taken off with injury.
Only good thing about this situation is that the Jets get to keep their first round pick. And there’s going to be lots of great QBs in the draft next year.
@@kja6336what? lol Caleb Williams is going to be well below average in the nfl. He’s not even that good in college. I’ll throw for 300 yards every game in a 5 wideout game plan chucking it 50 times a game lol
@@kja6336ya stats show Caleb won't do much in nfl lol how about scout for a player that will actually work for your system. How about bring in someone who is mentally and mature enough to run a team.
What a shame. Maybe this will be the injury that finally pushes the NFL to go grass, but then I remember the owners only care about profit and so does Goodell
Yep. That’s why they “rig” games. Plus, they’re allowed too. NFL is exempt from antitrust laws because they identify as “entertainment”, not competition. They are way more akin to the WWE than they are to MLB, NBA and NHL.
@frankiek2269 Lol, still trying that line? It's not, that isn't how anything actually works and its a stupid theory for silly people who believe everything is a conspiracy.
Worked with a foot/ankle surgeon for several years. A full Achilles tendon tear is often easily diagnosed by simple palpating, though an MRI can show where the tendon detached, which is important for the type of surgical intervention
This broke my heart, I was devastated. All the hype, all the hope, all the excitement flushed down the toilet. I feel so bad for Rich Eisen and all the other jet fans.
I wouldn’t be someone that would bet against someone like Rodgers. I agree with you. He is going to have the surgery regardless if he plays or not. I respect his decision but damn what a letdown. I’ve heard some pretty sour Packers fans that are acting glad or that his injury was justified for how he departed the team. I’m a Vikings fan and while we all want to see our teams win and have success, rooting for and celebrating someone’s demise is disappointing. They are the same people that wish and hope for someone else’s failure in order for them to succeed. It’s certainly not all Packers fans and in fact most likely a minority of them. It’s poor sportsmanship in my opinion.
@brennengodeen3796 As a Packer fan, I totally agree with you. It's one thing to talk smack about other teams. Part of being a fan really but cheering for an injury to a human being. It's just being a crappy person in general. I assure you most of us are not doing that. Just some loud idiots, which exist everywhere sadly.
@winstonsmith11 He certainly may. Question is, will they have a matchup next year if that happens? If not during the season, perhaps in the playoffs if things go well for both teams and QBs.
I've torn my achilles. It is literally never the same. It will never be the same. The rehab is awful and there is no chance he's here this year. I wish him the best. The big thing I've noticed with it is that your pre-stretching and mid-workout/game stretches to stay loose become a requirement instead of optional.
its really sad, but what happened to Rodgers is his karma for holding the Packers hostage since drafting Jordan Love. Ironically Rodgers was upset by the exact same circumstances when he was drafted by GB behind Favre.
@@nbrun9276 1-4 in conference championship games is pathetic. Losing 1st round at home to the 49ers 2 years ago when SF didn't score a single offensive TD was pathetic. Losing the year before to TB when brady gifted them 3 interceptions in the 2nd half was pathetic. Rodgers has never been worth the drama. Great regular season QB, terrible postseason QB.
I ruptured my achilles, it is awful. It's not particularly painful, broken bones and sprains hurt a hell of a lot more, but it was by far the worst injury I've had. Takes so long to recover from, and every once in awhile I'll feel the tendon twinge when I step weirdly or something (and it's been 12+ years). Plus, in the repair surgery they cut some nerves, couldn't feel part of my foot for a few years - though that did heal eventually. Definitely took me longer than a year to recover from. I was a moderate athlete and also in the military at the time, so not in horrible shape, but certainly nothing like a pro athlete. Feel terrible for Aaron. As a Packers fan, I was honestly hoping he'd win another SB with the Jets this year before retiring.
Luckily medical science has come a long way in 12 years and he’s gonna have the best surgeon in the country if not world he should be okay but idk if he will wanna come back and play he might just hang them up I hope not but he is pretty old.
@@userac-xpg For sure, but it still sucks and will still take a long time to fully recover. He's a lot older than I was, but probably still recovers much faster. I wonder if he'll demand they replace the turf with grass before coming back.
I’m glad to hear you’ve made a near to full recovery. Medical knowledge doubles almost every 28 days and surgical procedures and techniques are constantly evolving. In fact I think there are times in which certain Achilles tendon tests or ruptures do not require surgery. This is relatively new, I’d guess within the past 2-3 years. I will refresh myself on the management and treatment for this injury but serves as an example of how common it is for things to change. Despite the training and precise skills of the surgeon, there is always risks involved with any surgery and a little luck can certainly help determine the outcome. Other than paralysis, loss of life or limb and any other cardiovascular conditions, this is my most feared athletic/sports related injury. It commonly requires the longest recovery time and a lot of therapy. I’d much rather fracture a bone or tear an ACL.
Diehard lifelong Bills Fan, and I was as excited to see Aaron play as I was to watch the Bills. Feel for him and Jets Fans. Bad night for a good man and a city who carried so much hope.
I’ve always been a Vikings fan considering I grew up in MN. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become more interested in watching the highest level of competition and a “good game”. Josh Allen better slow down with all these reckless and careless plays. The first INT was essentially a long punt and literally threw the ball 70 yards rolling out to his left. I was very impressed by that alone however he’s too good to be turning the ball over this much. He seemed desperate as the game progressed. Almost like he is trying to carry the team and do too much. It’s only week one and I’m sure he will be just fine but if he continues this he may find himself in a situation like Wentz.
As a Packer fan…and Rodgers fan. I really hope they document his recovery and show the hell he goes through. Comes back 1-2 more years with the Jets and leads them to the playoffs if not the Superbowl! Talk about a great story that would be. 👏🙏👏🙏
@@bullock4211he was already 90 percent retired this past off-season, this just cements that decision. What's he gonna do, rehab for an entire year to come back and play for the jets? 😂 it's over
I don't think Rodgers is done. He's gonna go hard rehabbing. He's too competitive and he loved being here. I think he wants this and refuses to give up
@@el34glo59If this was 35 yo Rodgers I'd say sure. But a 40yo man who'll be turning 41 by the time he comes back. I'd put money on him retiring. It's over.
Last night was one of the saddest days in my life… an entire story just disappeared. It’s insane how fast it can happen. I hope Rodgers recovers and continues doing great things in his life! Heal up.
It really does but a horrible feeling in your stomach. I’m a longtime Packer fan living in New England, so Rodgers potentially boosting the local rival was super exciting for me. I think all of us were really interested on how this system would turn out. Wishing Rodgers well I hope he stays as positive as he can.
Dude I knew the second he sat down and the trainers came over that something was Really wrong because after watching him at GB for my whole life, he played through so many crazy injuries. Shoutout to his one game against Chicago.
Man as a Packers fan I was excited to see him ball out, and I was thinking ahead about what his highlights were gonna look like..... Then this happened as my damn food was still heating up and he is done, and our 1st rounder pick is gone now. Whole situation felt unreal.
Ya that’s an excellent breakdown talking about the injury by just not deciding to talk about JK dobbins injury who did the same thing. It was on grass so it doesn’t fit his narrative. Idk how you can think this is great
I went to Cal and was in Aaron's class. I'm not going to pretend that we're the best of pals or anything, but he did get me and some other Cal alumni onto the sidelines of Lambeau Field during a game against Tampa Bay, which they won in OT, when he was in Green Bay back in 2017 and it was great seeing him. Knowing the type of guy he was back in school and to see him now, it's hard to think he'd walk away like this. I personally think he'll be back, but I admit that we're not kids anymore and things like CTE do concern me a bit. I just want the guy to live his best life and to be around for a long time because he truly is a good, cerebral, funny man.
the other thing ppl have to remember with this is it might take 2-3 years to recover from this even doing things right. the other thing is will he want to come back knowing he might only be able to play at 75%. thats said i wouldnt rule out him coming back next year
As a former high level BJJ and MMA competitor who tore my Achilles at 35. It took me 11 months to from tear to next competition. Possibly could have competed after 10 month but not knowing the perimeters of the injury I wanted to be sure. It was 15 years ago when they first started pointing the toe with the surgery to make it so the tendon would have more elasticity so you have to work the tendon to stretch it. It was extremely hard and very painful. I was in agony through my sessions. Good luck to him. I hope he does work through it. I’m a Pats fan and I was looking forward to see him play.
Having performed this surgery 100s of times and even had the surgery on my own Achilles I can tell you there is an excellent chance for full recovery. I put myself through accelerated rehab with early range of motion, and weightbearing so i felt the recovery was pretty easy compared to seeing my patients go through ACL rehab. The injury is weirdly nonpainful, feels like someone hit you in the heel with a bat. Surgery wasn't that bad either. Xrays are always taken to rule out bony injuries because it can be done quickly. MRI is something that has to be scheduled and takes several minutes not seconds like an xray. I'm sure the team doctors expected the xrays to be negative, but is just part of the process. As an elite athlete I expect him to return if that is his wish. I certainly wish him well, even as a lifelong Vikings fan.
Skol! May I ask what severity of tear or rupture is indicated for surgical vs non surgical management? 4th year med student and I know there has been some change in the standards of care and management. I suppose I could refer to up to date as well. Thank you.
While this is super bad.... take a look at the Ravens: Starting C out (Linderbaum) ~ 3+ weeks Starting LT out (Stanley) ~ 3+ weeks Starting S out (Williams) ~ 5 - season Starting LS out (Moore) season #1 RB out (Dobbins) season #1 TE out (Andrews) ~ 1+ weeks #1 CB out (Humphrey) ~ 1+ weeks #1 OLB out (Bowser) ~ 1+ weeks
Bowser out for at least the 5th game b/c of pup. It's been devastating not able to see ravens be healthy enough to play at the same time all at once. Eagles went into SB with 0 injuries.
“Commanders” used to be a popular and successful team a long time ago too. We all go through droughts. Josh Allen is starting to resemble so Wentz tendencies. Better cool it with all the reckless and careless throws and shots he’s taking.
I hope not - yet could you blame him? I can't even imagine. He seemed so ready - and then its gone in 4 plays. That's a huge spike of emotion to take in.
My top 3 most gut wrenching moments that sucked the life out of fans. 1. Aaron Rodgers Jets injury 2. Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement 3. Falcons 28-3 blown lead
Vikings loss to the Falcons in the 1998 NFC championship game would be mine. I was just a kid, I promised myself that I’d never let them get my hopes up and disappoint me again. Then 2009 came around against the Saints in the NFC championship. I can only blame myself for having faith to be let down again.
Bob Saleh must feel like the luckiest dude in the world. Can you imagine if this has happened in the last preseason game that he made him play in? Dude would already be looking for a new job
After the Packers traded up to draft a QB, Rogers went full revenge mode and won back-to-back MVPs. I was looking forward to another revenge season, but unfortunately it ended before it even started
its really sad, but what happened to Rodgers is his karma for holding the Packers hostage since drafting Jordan Love. Ironically Rodgers was upset by the exact same circumstances when he was drafted by GB behind Favre.
@@userac-xpg not exact same. Packers took Rogers late because he was still there and was projected to go much higher. Rogers had just lost in conference championship game and instead of giving him more weapons they traded up (losing picks) to draft another quarterback
@@TrevortheBatman I Wish people would get off this Rodgers not having weapons trip. He had Jennings, Driver, Nelson, Cobb, Finely, Adams, and Lazard. He's also had alot of good RB's.
@@JoshuAhillyarD89 exactly he had plenty of help. Losing to SF 2 years ago 1st round at home when SF failed to score a single offensive TD was embarrassing.
I feel like I’m about the only one who thinks he’s gonna try to play again. I really think he’s gonna give it a shot, maybe he doesn’t ever play, but I think he’s gonna try
Bro, I’m not a Jets fan, but a huge A Rod fan and this low key breaks my heart. In my gut I knew him being on this team had Super Bowl dub written all over it and to have it end like that hurt ME! I can’t imagine how the team, staff, and fans feel. My heart goes out to everyone involved and I put a lot of energy and hope into A Rod’s recovery process so he can come back and win a Super Bowl with the young studs that are the New York Jets. May The Force Be With You All❤
trust me we arent, we expect this stuff. Its not even the first time we had our qb pop their left achilies in the first quarter of a super bowl contender season
@garenthal9638 Fr...that's just cruel fate at this point. Running out the tunnel holding the American flag with the crowd going absolutely nuts on 9/11, just to tear his achilles 4 plays in. Cursed stuff right there. Literally one of the 5-10 greatest QBs to ever live, and it ends like this? I sure hope not. One more year man. Finish the story.
At a minimum, I’d like to see him embrace a mentor role with Wilson. He’s injured and done for the season but he is still on the team and a Super Bowl would count on his record/stats. If they aren’t going to sign anyone else that is their best chance to develop Wilson and help him play at the best of his ability.
If he does not come back (and I do not think he will), it does not diminish anything the man has accomplished. He's the best I have ever seen at the position and does not have to prove anything more in the game.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Zach Wilson went on a run with the Jets and Aaron having to watch Zach win a championship that he was hoping to chase here? I'm not saying that happens but just imagine🤔
I think Aaron would embrace that idea without any hesitation. Wilson has the potential to have a long career. I hope he proves us all wrong including myself.
This absolutely stinks for such a good dude and everyone on the team/the fans/organization. Im a lifelong 49ers fan but i love the game far more than i do any ONE team. Bums me out. We all lose when the greats go down.
Even as someone who doesn't root for the Jets, but loves NFL football, I felt the pain that I'm sure Jet fans are feeling...4 F'n snaps!!! You start out the year with all this hope and hype, and then Bam! it's gone in the blink of an eye.. I'll be pulling for the team to overcome
I’d think Rodgers would be willing to continue to mentor Wilson. They seemed to accept Jr embrace their roles. I hope he rise to the occasion and proves everyone wrong, including myself.
I’m so miserable right now man. There’s nothing worse in this life than being a jets and Mets fan. I finally got to see a dream play out of watching my fav QB play on my team. But nope he doesn’t even complete a pass. I can’t do this anymore I’m just done.
Lifelong Pats fan and this is absolutely devastating. I was so excited to have Rodgers in the division, renewing the rivalry and making memories. The NFL owners must be shamed into action, turf fields had a good run but humans are made for grass.
As much as people hate on Aaron, he’s good for football and this is a major blow to the nfl in a whole, they got 4 more primetime games and they gonna be depressing to watch
I almost cried knowing he probably tore his Achilles and will probably retire after this. It was amazing to watch him play. Hope he recovers and prospers after this.
@@JoseGutierrez-uc2nfhe could retire Achilles is a bad injury to get as a young player can’t be good for a 36 year old. I hope he does come back I was ready to watch it terrorize a different division for once in my life 😂😂 but idk if he will he seemed on the fence last off season then to do this in the first 4 plays has. Retirement has to be on his mind rn
He terrorized the Vikings for his entire career. Football is better with him than without him. We are watching the exit of a great generation of QB’s. We generations coming in and playing well. Doesn’t matter, Vikings won’t draft one and if they do, will tear every ligament in his knee during training camp.
there is still a positive in having him around to help wilson to develop. there is great wealth in his knowledge for wilson and the QB room. hope to see him back.
Kid is going to need it considering there is about to be even more pressure than before. Aaron is essential in his developmenta as a player but can also share his experience with handling pressure and expectations. I’m rooting for Wilson to rise to the occasion and prove everyone wrong, including myself. He looked like a fish out of water when Rodgers left the game. Cannot blame him, there is no way to predict things like this. Hopefully the team win without Rodgers inspires some confidence in him. He has a great team around him that seem supportive and will do their job to make his success more likely.
Even though I have my issues with Aaron Rodgers both on & off the field & regardless of your opinions when it comes to Aaron Rodgers vs. Green Bay & his deal with the Jets you have to feel bad for the guy. I say that b/c he & his teammates had so much hype going into this season to the point where it got them on television in the offseason & now not only can his season be over but also his career could be over in just four snaps that were on national television.
Honestly with an injury like that Rodgers is probably gonna be retiring. At this point he should have just stayed in Green Bay and called it a career, he's been struggling with injuries for a while now.
Yeah, he came back after 7 weeks which was too early and battled through the rest of the season still injured. Hes played through shoulder, leg, and hand injuries and every time he does he's a shadow of himself. Hes never had time to recover because packers would be bottom of the league without him
Sounds like football. Everyone plays hurt but not injured. He deliberately said he want to play his entire career with the Packers and wanted to retire a Packer. He showed them loyalty and they showed him the door. Packers fans will eventually run out of luck with QB’s and have a drought like everyone else. They’d better hope Love does very well or people are getting fired and the fans feel like idiots.
Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and was dead on the field. Without intervention from the trainers and doctors he would have certainly died. He’s been fully cleared and playing again. Everyone is getting soft these days. Most pro players play with some degree of pain. Rodgers had a down year last year but they all do. Statically, around the league average with rookies all over, without their best offensive linemen, not to mention those rookie WR’s were constantly trying to get healthy too. They started winning and made a run at the end. Making the playoffs is my standard for calling a team “good”. They came up short but they were able to make it through and gave them a chance at the end. Also, wins and losses aren’t a QB statistic. Since when was a QB solely responsible for the result of a game? It’s the most absolute trash stat I’ve ever heard. That’s like saying a pitcher lost the game when the pitched all 9 innings and allowed 1 run and his team wasn’t able to score any runs. That’s their fault? Everyone is so quick to blame the QB or coach for short comings. Maybe your team cannot compete physically with the other team. I’ve watched good QB’s struggle with poor offensive line play. Yet they hold the ball to long, aren’t mobile enough, should’ve changed the play ect. The Super Bowl favorite after week 1 should be the 49’ers. Even with average QB play but the ability to obtain and keep high level talent at other positions. Everyone making excuses for the Chiefs without Kelce. Every team pays the QB way too much but that’s the market. Just wait until a coach decides that all these teams trying to run spread and be faster at the expense off size is going to prompt them to beff up and the power run game will make a comeback. It’s already happening in college.
The Jets are cursed. I'm a Parkers fan and still have great respect for the man. If he ruptured his achilles at his age, he's done. 50 million dollars guaranteed to sit on the bench.
The fact that the Jets QB from 24 years ago who also tore his Achilles WAS AT THE GAME as the kickoff captain for the jets.... what a coincidence and he should have knocked on wood
Re: the comment about his foot being up...your achilles is used to point your toe downward. To pull your foot up is a different set of muscles and tendons. You need your achilles to walk because you use your calf muscle to press against the ground. But just holding your foot upright with a torn achilles is no problem. And I've never torn my achilles but I know people who have. It's not necessarily the most painful injury when it happens because you don't have a lot of nerve endings there. You can walk on it with a boot because the boot will keep your foot stable
Aaron Rodgers’ torn achilles will have the biggest negative impact for the Jets and it will be the hardest gut punch of ruining New York’s playoff hopes just four offensive snaps at the start of last night’s game!
@@rossravello8403 oh didnt know you could see the future. being real like i said they beat a team that has been one of the best in the NFL. who knows what can happen. and i could easily say with Rodgers they wouldnt make the playoffs.
He is guarenteed 75 million, easily 3-4x the money any of us will see in our entire lifetimes, for doing no work and all at the loss of the Jets. How did we get to this point
Being a Jets fan for over 35 years, this was such a Jets thing to happen. Wish Rodgers well.
At least we won the game so there's a smidgen of hope lol
It’s a damn shame he was gonna put on a show for you guys and all nfl fans
I think all NFL fans feel sorry for the Jets right now, even your division rivals! Absolutely unbelievable!
well hes going to still get money
Saints fan here, feel so bad for you guys and for Rodgers. I hope thats not how it ends, just an awful, unlucky ending for the best qb I’ve ever watched.
This has to be one of the craziest things to ever happen in NFL QB history given the storyline & everything that was taking place. Absolutely devastating that this had to happen. Praying for a speedy & healthy recovery for Rodgers.
It's the most "Jets" thing to ever happen atleast
It's up there with Andrew Luck's retirement for sure, just more unfortunate for Aaron as a person
I’d compare to Carson Palmer blowing out his knee on the second offensive play in the bengals first playoff game in 15 years.
@@laicuan1I was gonna say either the most lions,browns, jets or raider thing to happen

Same here as a fellow Packers fan. Hopefully this wasnt the end of his career. Godspeed to him
The fact that some "Packer fans" up in a bar were cheering when he got hurt. The bar owner said if the Jets lose all your bar tabs are wiped. And everyone was racking up huge tabs and la de da they win.
I hate those fans @@Irishkilla79

Its just devastating. As a jets fan I waited for this moment all my life and its over before it ever started.

It is kind of like seeing the KFC by the Great Pyramids. It makes no sense in this modern sports era of TV market valuations.
@@ktbeatty KFC next to the pyramids lmaooo. That summed it up my guy!
Advice: stay away from the northern parts of Wisconsin.
@@modernblue24 I was born in Chicago, moved to Pittsburgh, then Hong Kong, Chicago again, Atlanta, San Francisco, then Los Angeles. Been to Fenway, Rose Bowl, Soldier Field, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium, and all the legendary sports venues. As a kid growing up pre cable on Facenda and the tundra, that was bucket list. Blew my damn mind seeing it among small suburb homes rather than the great skylines of the other cities. (and yeah, makes it all the more special to be sure. Packers shouldn't exist today. Except when playing the Niners, and stealing Reggie, I'm a fan.)
Prayers to Aaron. Hope he doesnt go out this way, but if he calls it a career, its been a heck of a ride!
I wanted him to do well this year. That sucks ao hard. Not only because of the pain or because of the recovery but because I'm a football fan.
- From a Vikings fan.
Not an expert in grass or turf technology but just to add to the conversation, Australia played Mexico a few days ago in soccer at Cowboy's stadium and one of our Aussie boys had a major knee injury thanks to the turf.
The best thing for athletes legs are grass fields. Astro turf causes injuries.
@@BlueAmerican26 Yeah, but it isn't Astro Turf. I played football in HS and college in the late 80's and early 90s on actual Astro Turf. It was a thin carpet glued to cement. (Watch Joe Montana play the Giants or Eagles to see the worst offenders.) My joints hurt just walking for a week after playing on that stuff. It was little different than being tackled in the street, never mind the rug burns. My elbows are literally scarred.
The modern artificial stuff is not like that. It has issues, but it's not the cause of Rodgers achilles injury, no more than the hardwood caused Kobe's. Both were caused by the same thing. High mileage on the late 30 year old bodies of elite athletes who, due to their greatness, annually played deep into the post season of their sports.
@@ktbeattyexplain all the no contact knee injuries happening on turf in college football?
@@dangerousdylan6262 The turf today has issues, but it’s not the same as Astro Turf. It’s complicated by the absurd power and speed of today’s athletes (Zion for example) out kicking the coverage in terms of ability of joints and tendons to keep up. Never mind that until very recently, pro careers were done by 35. Messi, LeBron, Brady simply didn’t exist a decade ago. I didn’t say artificial turf has no role in athlete injuries today, just that it was not responsible for Aaron Rodgers blowing an Achilles, at age 39, on an absolutely routine tackle.
To anyone who’s had this injury, they know how hard it is to recover from- just as a human, let alone an athlete. Hoping Rodgers gets to play again for his own sake and legacy. Wishing him well.
His legacy is set. He doesn't have to play any more to create a legacy. He will go down as one of the best to ever play.
@@drapples9674 I tore mine at age 39 -same age as Rogers, complete tear but calcaneus intact, it was 9 months before I felt comfortable running on it. Best of luck to Rogers he can come back from this
My prediction is that if he comes back is he will be more peyton manning like. Stand in the pocket and pass. Or hand off quick. Although I know here in Australia guys have come back quickly and confidently in rugby league from Achilles tears I believe but could be wrong they’ve developed a system where they take a stretch of your glutes or hamstring and replace the tendon or tie it with that, and if a guy can play rugby league like that, a guy can play gridiron like that. So it’s not impossible
My sister's best friend busted both of hers. And I was watching surgery to repair and it looks like a long, thin white rubber band. But man. Just watching what they were doing to repair it. Man. If you haven't seen it, it's interesting.
@@Bsquaredplus2a guy like rodgers will come back if for no other reason than to make sure his last play isn’t resulting in him being taken off with injury.
Only good thing about this situation is that the Jets get to keep their first round pick. And there’s going to be lots of great QBs in the draft next year.
Jets arent gonna be bad enough to get a good one though. Caleb Williams is the only top QB and I mean he’s maybe the greatest prospect of all time
@@kja6336what? lol Caleb Williams is going to be well below average in the nfl. He’s not even that good in college. I’ll throw for 300 yards every game in a 5 wideout game plan chucking it 50 times a game lol
@@kja6336haha… how old are you? Like eleven?
@@tswiss2492Uncle Rico is that you?
@@kja6336ya stats show Caleb won't do much in nfl lol how about scout for a player that will actually work for your system. How about bring in someone who is mentally and mature enough to run a team.
What a shame. Maybe this will be the injury that finally pushes the NFL to go grass, but then I remember the owners only care about profit and so does Goodell
Yep. That’s why they “rig” games. Plus, they’re allowed too. NFL is exempt from antitrust laws because they identify as “entertainment”, not competition. They are way more akin to the WWE than they are to MLB, NBA and NHL.
Yeah, no one's ever ruptured an Achilles on grass.
@@oaktree1626watched my dad blow his Achilles when I was like 7 years old. And it was on grass.
@frankiek2269 Lol, still trying that line? It's not, that isn't how anything actually works and its a stupid theory for silly people who believe everything is a conspiracy.
@@BAM5636 That’s okay, you’re allowed to be dumb.
Worked with a foot/ankle surgeon for several years. A full Achilles tendon tear is often easily diagnosed by simple palpating, though an MRI can show where the tendon detached, which is important for the type of surgical intervention
This broke my heart, I was devastated. All the hype, all the hope, all the excitement flushed down the toilet. I feel so bad for Rich Eisen and all the other jet fans.
Wishing Aaron the best. But it’s so sad that we’ll never see Rodgers vs Mahomes
I know right. Everytime they are set to play one of them is out.
Don't say never. Not yet. Aaron may well attack his rehab and be back next season.
I wouldn’t be someone that would bet against someone like Rodgers. I agree with you. He is going to have the surgery regardless if he plays or not. I respect his decision but damn what a letdown. I’ve heard some pretty sour Packers fans that are acting glad or that his injury was justified for how he departed the team. I’m a Vikings fan and while we all want to see our teams win and have success, rooting for and celebrating someone’s demise is disappointing. They are the same people that wish and hope for someone else’s failure in order for them to succeed. It’s certainly not all Packers fans and in fact most likely a minority of them. It’s poor sportsmanship in my opinion.
@brennengodeen3796 As a Packer fan, I totally agree with you. It's one thing to talk smack about other teams. Part of being a fan really but cheering for an injury to a human being. It's just being a crappy person in general. I assure you most of us are not doing that. Just some loud idiots, which exist everywhere sadly.
@winstonsmith11 He certainly may. Question is, will they have a matchup next year if that happens? If not during the season, perhaps in the playoffs if things go well for both teams and QBs.
Looks like a permanent spot on the show for Aaron now.
I've torn my achilles. It is literally never the same. It will never be the same. The rehab is awful and there is no chance he's here this year. I wish him the best. The big thing I've noticed with it is that your pre-stretching and mid-workout/game stretches to stay loose become a requirement instead of optional.
Man it was tragic watching this happen live, so much hype for a season killed in one drive. Hope they still have a good season regardless!
I feel so bad for him I still wanted him to have a great year even though he isn't a Packer he'll always be my guy
its really sad, but what happened to Rodgers is his karma for holding the Packers hostage since drafting Jordan Love. Ironically Rodgers was upset by the exact same circumstances when he was drafted by GB behind Favre.
@userac-xpg holding them hostage by winning MVPS and taking them to the playoffs. Bruh You were dropped on your head as a baby
@@userac-xpg….. NO
@@nbrun9276 1-4 in conference championship games is pathetic. Losing 1st round at home to the 49ers 2 years ago when SF didn't score a single offensive TD was pathetic. Losing the year before to TB when brady gifted them 3 interceptions in the 2nd half was pathetic. Rodgers has never been worth the drama. Great regular season QB, terrible postseason QB.
Cringe
I ruptured my achilles, it is awful. It's not particularly painful, broken bones and sprains hurt a hell of a lot more, but it was by far the worst injury I've had. Takes so long to recover from, and every once in awhile I'll feel the tendon twinge when I step weirdly or something (and it's been 12+ years). Plus, in the repair surgery they cut some nerves, couldn't feel part of my foot for a few years - though that did heal eventually. Definitely took me longer than a year to recover from. I was a moderate athlete and also in the military at the time, so not in horrible shape, but certainly nothing like a pro athlete. Feel terrible for Aaron. As a Packers fan, I was honestly hoping he'd win another SB with the Jets this year before retiring.
Luckily medical science has come a long way in 12 years and he’s gonna have the best surgeon in the country if not world he should be okay but idk if he will wanna come back and play he might just hang them up I hope not but he is pretty old.
he will have a much better surgeon than you did
@@userac-xpg For sure, but it still sucks and will still take a long time to fully recover. He's a lot older than I was, but probably still recovers much faster. I wonder if he'll demand they replace the turf with grass before coming back.
Well we’ll see he’s a world class athlete with the best medical help imaginable granted just about 40 so who knows
I’m glad to hear you’ve made a near to full recovery. Medical knowledge doubles almost every 28 days and surgical procedures and techniques are constantly evolving. In fact I think there are times in which certain Achilles tendon tests or ruptures do not require surgery. This is relatively new, I’d guess within the past 2-3 years. I will refresh myself on the management and treatment for this injury but serves as an example of how common it is for things to change. Despite the training and precise skills of the surgeon, there is always risks involved with any surgery and a little luck can certainly help determine the outcome. Other than paralysis, loss of life or limb and any other cardiovascular conditions, this is my most feared athletic/sports related injury. It commonly requires the longest recovery time and a lot of therapy. I’d much rather fracture a bone or tear an ACL.
I’ve had 4 knee surgeries before 30, then 2 shoulder surgeries at 32 and my 5th knee surgery at 34 and that sucked
Diehard lifelong Bills Fan, and I was as excited to see Aaron play as I was to watch the Bills. Feel for him and Jets Fans. Bad night for a good man and a city who carried so much hope.
I’ve always been a Vikings fan considering I grew up in MN. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become more interested in watching the highest level of competition and a “good game”. Josh Allen better slow down with all these reckless and careless plays. The first INT was essentially a long punt and literally threw the ball 70 yards rolling out to his left. I was very impressed by that alone however he’s too good to be turning the ball over this much. He seemed desperate as the game progressed. Almost like he is trying to carry the team and do too much. It’s only week one and I’m sure he will be just fine but if he continues this he may find himself in a situation like Wentz.
As a Packer fan…and Rodgers fan. I really hope they document his recovery and show the hell he goes through. Comes back 1-2 more years with the Jets and leads them to the playoffs if not the Superbowl! Talk about a great story that would be. 👏🙏👏🙏
or even better he goes to Minnesota and wins a SB with them.
By the time he takes a regular season snap again, he'll be close to 41. This is a major injury for a young player let alone a 40yr old QB.
@@userac-xpg ehh they got Captian Kirk…they don't need Rodgers…the Jets do. 😂
@@userac-xpgminnesota is another cursed city 😂😂😂
@@bullock4211he was already 90 percent retired this past off-season, this just cements that decision. What's he gonna do, rehab for an entire year to come back and play for the jets? 😂 it's over
It was such a gut shot to see this. My fav QB of the past decade. And he had a real opportunity here, taken away. And he's probably done.
He ain't done
Same bro expect I’m also a jets fan on top of him being my favorite
he'll be back
I don't think Rodgers is done. He's gonna go hard rehabbing. He's too competitive and he loved being here. I think he wants this and refuses to give up
@@el34glo59If this was 35 yo Rodgers I'd say sure. But a 40yo man who'll be turning 41 by the time he comes back. I'd put money on him retiring. It's over.
Last night was one of the saddest days in my life… an entire story just disappeared. It’s insane how fast it can happen. I hope Rodgers recovers and continues doing great things in his life! Heal up.
It really does but a horrible feeling in your stomach. I’m a longtime Packer fan living in New England, so Rodgers potentially boosting the local rival was super exciting for me. I think all of us were really interested on how this system would turn out. Wishing Rodgers well I hope he stays as positive as he can.
NFL YOU SHOULD PROTECT YOUR PRODUCT TIME FOR GRASS ON ALL 31 STADIUMS

Great segment, pat mac is the best analyst out there right now
For the script writers out there this is one hell of a plot twist
That Jets offensive line is suspect. So bummed out for AR.
Anthony Richardson is fine. What’s the problem?
Dude I knew the second he sat down and the trainers came over that something was Really wrong because after watching him at GB for my whole life, he played through so many crazy injuries. Shoutout to his one game against Chicago.
Man as a Packers fan I was excited to see him ball out, and I was thinking ahead about what his highlights were gonna look like..... Then this happened as my damn food was still heating up and he is done, and our 1st rounder pick is gone now. Whole situation felt unreal.
Segments like this are why McAfee makes the big bucks. Excellent breakdown.
Ya that’s an excellent breakdown talking about the injury by just not deciding to talk about JK dobbins injury who did the same thing. It was on grass so it doesn’t fit his narrative. Idk how you can think this is great
How are Bills king of the AFC when they’ve never won the AFC??
You must be too young to remember, they made it to 4 consecutive Super bowls in the 90´s.
@@morro3488That's still doesn't make them kings of the AFC.😂
I went to Cal and was in Aaron's class. I'm not going to pretend that we're the best of pals or anything, but he did get me and some other Cal alumni onto the sidelines of Lambeau Field during a game against Tampa Bay, which they won in OT, when he was in Green Bay back in 2017 and it was great seeing him. Knowing the type of guy he was back in school and to see him now, it's hard to think he'd walk away like this. I personally think he'll be back, but I admit that we're not kids anymore and things like CTE do concern me a bit. I just want the guy to live his best life and to be around for a long time because he truly is a good, cerebral, funny man.
Any chance you could convince him that Farve also went to the Jets and then the Vikings and had success. Us Viking fans are desperate.
the other thing ppl have to remember with this is it might take 2-3 years to recover from this even doing things right. the other thing is will he want to come back knowing he might only be able to play at 75%. thats said i wouldnt rule out him coming back next year
It makes me sick seeing Aaron out because.. he loves the game and he wanted this year soooooo bad. His heart must be aching right now.
Wishing Rodger a speedy recovery and respecting his decision on returning. He's a football legend. 🏈🥇
Ok no. Obviously it is NOT speedy. It is over.
As a former high level BJJ and MMA competitor who tore my Achilles at 35. It took me 11 months to from tear to next competition. Possibly could have competed after 10 month but not knowing the perimeters of the injury I wanted to be sure. It was 15 years ago when they first started pointing the toe with the surgery to make it so the tendon would have more elasticity so you have to work the tendon to stretch it. It was extremely hard and very painful. I was in agony through my sessions. Good luck to him. I hope he does work through it. I’m a Pats fan and I was looking forward to see him play.
This is definitely the football Gods way of saying "nope you're done, should've retired a Packer".
No its the gods way of reminding jets fans they arent allowed to be happy
Having performed this surgery 100s of times and even had the surgery on my own Achilles I can tell you there is an excellent chance for full recovery. I put myself through accelerated rehab with early range of motion, and weightbearing so i felt the recovery was pretty easy compared to seeing my patients go through ACL rehab. The injury is weirdly nonpainful, feels like someone hit you in the heel with a bat. Surgery wasn't that bad either. Xrays are always taken to rule out bony injuries because it can be done quickly. MRI is something that has to be scheduled and takes several minutes not seconds like an xray. I'm sure the team doctors expected the xrays to be negative, but is just part of the process. As an elite athlete I expect him to return if that is his wish. I certainly wish him well, even as a lifelong Vikings fan.
Skol! May I ask what severity of tear or rupture is indicated for surgical vs non surgical management? 4th year med student and I know there has been some change in the standards of care and management. I suppose I could refer to up to date as well. Thank you.
That sucks for both the Jets and Rogers
This one hurt. As a Jets fan we've dealt with a lot of heartbreak but this one really hurt
I watched it live and seeing the Jets fans reaction was devastating I feel for Rodgers and Jets fans
While this is super bad.... take a look at the Ravens:
Starting C out (Linderbaum) ~ 3+ weeks
Starting LT out (Stanley) ~ 3+ weeks
Starting S out (Williams) ~ 5 - season
Starting LS out (Moore) season
#1 RB out (Dobbins) season
#1 TE out (Andrews) ~ 1+ weeks
#1 CB out (Humphrey) ~ 1+ weeks
#1 OLB out (Bowser) ~ 1+ weeks
Bowser out for at least the 5th game b/c of pup. It's been devastating not able to see ravens be healthy enough to play at the same time all at once. Eagles went into SB with 0 injuries.
I wish Aaron a speedy and full recovery
That run out was cold asf!!!
Please don't ever call the Bills the kings of the AFC until they win an AFC championship
They won 4 consecutive in the 90´s , but yeap, that was a lifetime ago.
“Commanders” used to be a popular and successful team a long time ago too. We all go through droughts. Josh Allen is starting to resemble so Wentz tendencies. Better cool it with all the reckless and careless throws and shots he’s taking.
Brofessor had this same injury, he came back faster than before. A lot of his rehab training for his injury will actually make him better.
I dont think Aaron can end his career like that
I hope not - yet could you blame him? I can't even imagine. He seemed so ready - and then its gone in 4 plays. That's a huge spike of emotion to take in.
@@Kainteeka and rodgers literally right before the game said he is here to change jets fans from feeling cursed and negative to blessed and positive
He may have too , this is a bad injury that hardly anybody comes back to even 90% . He will literally lose a step , especially at his age
My top 3 most gut wrenching moments that sucked the life out of fans.
1. Aaron Rodgers Jets injury
2. Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement
3. Falcons 28-3 blown lead
Vikings loss to the Falcons in the 1998 NFC championship game would be mine. I was just a kid, I promised myself that I’d never let them get my hopes up and disappoint me again. Then 2009 came around against the Saints in the NFC championship. I can only blame myself for having faith to be let down again.
He will be missed
I watched Hardknocks and was really excited to see the Jets season. This is brutal. I’m
still hurting for him on the second day.
Bob Saleh must feel like the luckiest dude in the world. Can you imagine if this has happened in the last preseason game that he made him play in? Dude would already be looking for a new job
This will just make that 2nd Lombardi even sweeter.
Blew my Achilles doing training in the military 22 years ago, it was never the same.
Been a Packers fan forever. I can tell you this. He won’t want his last game to go down like that. I won’t count him out once so ever.
Rogers: we’re going to the Super Bowl
God: yeah alright
Steelers had one of the roughest starts to a season that had a lot of hype, but I couldn’t imagine what the jet fans are going through.
After the Packers traded up to draft a QB, Rogers went full revenge mode and won back-to-back MVPs. I was looking forward to another revenge season, but unfortunately it ended before it even started
I'm a packers fan, but Aaron really shouldn't have won that last MVP.
its really sad, but what happened to Rodgers is his karma for holding the Packers hostage since drafting Jordan Love. Ironically Rodgers was upset by the exact same circumstances when he was drafted by GB behind Favre.
@@userac-xpg not exact same. Packers took Rogers late because he was still there and was projected to go much higher.
Rogers had just lost in conference championship game and instead of giving him more weapons they traded up (losing picks) to draft another quarterback
@@TrevortheBatman I Wish people would get off this Rodgers not having weapons trip. He had Jennings, Driver, Nelson, Cobb, Finely, Adams, and Lazard. He's also had alot of good RB's.
@@JoshuAhillyarD89 exactly he had plenty of help. Losing to SF 2 years ago 1st round at home when SF failed to score a single offensive TD was embarrassing.

I feel like I’m about the only one who thinks he’s gonna try to play again. I really think he’s gonna give it a shot, maybe he doesn’t ever play, but I think he’s gonna try
Bro, I’m not a Jets fan, but a huge A Rod fan and this low key breaks my heart. In my gut I knew him being on this team had Super Bowl dub written all over it and to have it end like that hurt ME! I can’t imagine how the team, staff, and fans feel. My heart goes out to everyone involved and I put a lot of energy and hope into A Rod’s recovery process so he can come back and win a Super Bowl with the young studs that are the New York Jets.
May The Force Be With You All❤
Jets fans are all still in a state of shock
trust me we arent, we expect this stuff. Its not even the first time we had our qb pop their left achilies in the first quarter of a super bowl contender season
@@garenthal9638 Funny Vinny Testaverde was at the game Monday night
@garenthal9638 Fr...that's just cruel fate at this point. Running out the tunnel holding the American flag with the crowd going absolutely nuts on 9/11, just to tear his achilles 4 plays in. Cursed stuff right there. Literally one of the 5-10 greatest QBs to ever live, and it ends like this? I sure hope not. One more year man. Finish the story.
At a minimum, I’d like to see him embrace a mentor role with Wilson. He’s injured and done for the season but he is still on the team and a Super Bowl would count on his record/stats. If they aren’t going to sign anyone else that is their best chance to develop Wilson and help him play at the best of his ability.
If he does not come back (and I do not think he will), it does not diminish anything the man has accomplished. He's the best I have ever seen at the position and does not have to prove anything more in the game.
jets did so much to get him and make him feel home and didnt get a single pass out of him
Wouldn't it be ironic if Zach Wilson went on a run with the Jets and Aaron having to watch Zach win a championship that he was hoping to chase here? I'm not saying that happens but just imagine🤔
I think Aaron would embrace that idea without any hesitation. Wilson has the potential to have a long career. I hope he proves us all wrong including myself.
As a lifelong Jets fan I'm not surprised at all this happened to start the season.
This absolutely stinks for such a good dude and everyone on the team/the fans/organization. Im a lifelong 49ers fan but i love the game far more than i do any ONE team. Bums me out. We all lose when the greats go down.
Even as someone who doesn't root for the Jets, but loves NFL football, I felt the pain that I'm sure Jet fans are feeling...4 F'n snaps!!! You start out the year with all this hope and hype, and then Bam! it's gone in the blink of an eye.. I'll be pulling for the team to overcome
I’d think Rodgers would be willing to continue to mentor Wilson. They seemed to accept Jr embrace their roles. I hope he rise to the occasion and proves everyone wrong, including myself.
I’m so miserable right now man. There’s nothing worse in this life than being a jets and Mets fan. I finally got to see a dream play out of watching my fav QB play on my team. But nope he doesn’t even complete a pass. I can’t do this anymore I’m just done.
Bears and White Sox fan here, it is rough
Agreed, I don’t envy Bears or Sox fans even as a Vikings fan. But who am I to talk, I’m sure all miss a field goal in the playoffs again.
Lifelong Pats fan and this is absolutely devastating. I was so excited to have Rodgers in the division, renewing the rivalry and making memories. The NFL owners must be shamed into action, turf fields had a good run but humans are made for grass.
As much as people hate on Aaron, he’s good for football and this is a major blow to the nfl in a whole, they got 4 more primetime games and they gonna be depressing to watch
Rodgers should not feel pressured to be on the show. He needs to dedicate 100% of his time rehabbing
Huge bummer it had to go down like this. I was really excited to watch the Jets play for once.
I almost cried knowing he probably tore his Achilles and will probably retire after this. It was amazing to watch him play. Hope he recovers and prospers after this.
Lol chill
man tears is a bit much unless you know him personally lol
Bro rodgers is not retiring. He’s way to competitive to go out like that
@@JoseGutierrez-uc2nfhe could retire Achilles is a bad injury to get as a young player can’t be good for a 36 year old. I hope he does come back I was ready to watch it terrorize a different division for once in my life 😂😂 but idk if he will he seemed on the fence last off season then to do this in the first 4 plays has. Retirement has to be on his mind rn
He terrorized the Vikings for his entire career. Football is better with him than without him. We are watching the exit of a great generation of QB’s. We generations coming in and playing well. Doesn’t matter, Vikings won’t draft one and if they do, will tear every ligament in his knee during training camp.
there is still a positive in having him around to help wilson to develop. there is great wealth in his knowledge for wilson and the QB room. hope to see him back.
Kid is going to need it considering there is about to be even more pressure than before. Aaron is essential in his developmenta as a player but can also share his experience with handling pressure and expectations. I’m rooting for Wilson to rise to the occasion and prove everyone wrong, including myself. He looked like a fish out of water when Rodgers left the game. Cannot blame him, there is no way to predict things like this. Hopefully the team win without Rodgers inspires some confidence in him. He has a great team around him that seem supportive and will do their job to make his success more likely.
Even though I have my issues with Aaron Rodgers both on & off the field & regardless of your opinions when it comes to Aaron Rodgers vs. Green Bay & his deal with the Jets you have to feel bad for the guy. I say that b/c he & his teammates had so much hype going into this season to the point where it got them on television in the offseason & now not only can his season be over but also his career could be over in just four snaps that were on national television.
So happy they got the W regardless, so much potential in this Jets squad
Honestly with an injury like that Rodgers is probably gonna be retiring. At this point he should have just stayed in Green Bay and called it a career, he's been struggling with injuries for a while now.
What? Rodgers hasn't missed a full game due to injuries since 2017. It is normal to be bruised and battered.
Yeah, he came back after 7 weeks which was too early and battled through the rest of the season still injured. Hes played through shoulder, leg, and hand injuries and every time he does he's a shadow of himself. Hes never had time to recover because packers would be bottom of the league without him
Sounds like football. Everyone plays hurt but not injured. He deliberately said he want to play his entire career with the Packers and wanted to retire a Packer. He showed them loyalty and they showed him the door. Packers fans will eventually run out of luck with QB’s and have a drought like everyone else. They’d better hope Love does very well or people are getting fired and the fans feel like idiots.
Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and was dead on the field. Without intervention from the trainers and doctors he would have certainly died. He’s been fully cleared and playing again. Everyone is getting soft these days. Most pro players play with some degree of pain. Rodgers had a down year last year but they all do. Statically, around the league average with rookies all over, without their best offensive linemen, not to mention those rookie WR’s were constantly trying to get healthy too. They started winning and made a run at the end. Making the playoffs is my standard for calling a team “good”. They came up short but they were able to make it through and gave them a chance at the end. Also, wins and losses aren’t a QB statistic. Since when was a QB solely responsible for the result of a game? It’s the most absolute trash stat I’ve ever heard. That’s like saying a pitcher lost the game when the pitched all 9 innings and allowed 1 run and his team wasn’t able to score any runs. That’s their fault? Everyone is so quick to blame the QB or coach for short comings. Maybe your team cannot compete physically with the other team. I’ve watched good QB’s struggle with poor offensive line play. Yet they hold the ball to long, aren’t mobile enough, should’ve changed the play ect. The Super Bowl favorite after week 1 should be the 49’ers. Even with average QB play but the ability to obtain and keep high level talent at other positions. Everyone making excuses for the Chiefs without Kelce. Every team pays the QB way too much but that’s the market. Just wait until a coach decides that all these teams trying to run spread and be faster at the expense off size is going to prompt them to beff up and the power run game will make a comeback. It’s already happening in college.
The Jets are cursed. I'm a Parkers fan and still have great respect for the man. If he ruptured his achilles at his age, he's done. 50 million dollars guaranteed to sit on the bench.
Here Pat goes again glazing tf outta Aaron Rodgers 🤦🏿♂️
How?
@@RealRap619 if you watched the show for at least 3 months you know what I'm saying is true
The Jets QB Curse and the Hard Knocks curse really hit hard this time
One of the greatest falls in sports history.
The fact that the Jets QB from 24 years ago who also tore his Achilles WAS AT THE GAME as the kickoff captain for the jets.... what a coincidence and he should have knocked on wood
As a Bears fan, I wanted him to fail miserably, but not to get hurt. I hope he comes back to full strength, but I still hope he sucks upon his return.
No worries, he passed the torch and Love owns you now. To think the Lions have surpassed the Bears is hysterical.
Re: the comment about his foot being up...your achilles is used to point your toe downward. To pull your foot up is a different set of muscles and tendons. You need your achilles to walk because you use your calf muscle to press against the ground. But just holding your foot upright with a torn achilles is no problem. And I've never torn my achilles but I know people who have. It's not necessarily the most painful injury when it happens because you don't have a lot of nerve endings there. You can walk on it with a boot because the boot will keep your foot stable
Aaron Rodgers’ torn achilles will have the biggest negative impact for the Jets and it will be the hardest gut punch of ruining New York’s playoff hopes just four offensive snaps at the start of last night’s game!
They beat the bills...
they still won
@@kingzutand they still won’t make that playoffs
@@rossravello8403 oh didnt know you could see the future. being real like i said they beat a team that has been one of the best in the NFL. who knows what can happen. and i could easily say with Rodgers they wouldnt make the playoffs.
@@kingzut still won’t beat the Patriots 0-14
If I was A Rod I see this as a way to get another award. Comeback player of the Year 2024 baby
Slight correction to Patt saying Aaron is 38. He turns 40 in december.
39
The hard knocks curse still going strong.
He is guarenteed 75 million, easily 3-4x the money any of us will see in our entire lifetimes, for doing no work and all at the loss of the Jets. How did we get to this point
This is the second worst event to happen at metlife this show has covered.
"We took the roof off at the metlife"
Going to the Meadowlands to watch a jets game is basically going to a Randy Quaid in Major League convention.
Why wasn’t Rodgers on the show today??
Did you watch this on mute?
Too soon 😂
@@007Zachmanit's Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays, not Wednesdays
@@007ZachmanIts Aaron Rodgers Tuesday not Wednesday!
It's not the O-line, it's not the turf.... all the blame belongs to John McEnroe.
Might be the worse thing to ever happen to NYC on September 11th....Ill see myself out.
Hilarious thank you.
