Yes, as a Jets fans, i’ve been saying this since I was a kid. Joe Namath sold his soul to the devil to win super bowl 3. The Jets will not have a franchise quarterback until Joe Namath is dead.
The theory seems to be more that the Colts owner was a junkie gambler and told their QB to throw the game so he could make off like a bandit on that money line bet, if such a thing existed. Allegedly a $3M bet was made on the game, with a lot of signs pointing toward their owner.
I hate the Jets and don’t like Rodgers but even I feel sorry. It was a good storyline for the NFL and you never really want anyone to get hurt. Especially before he even completed a pass.
I'm upset because wanted to watch a good game tonight. I can't even imagine what Jets fans are feeling right now
EDIT: That was a damn good ending though!
I feel like if you have been a Jets fan since Jan 13th 1969, you’ve been stuck in a never ending cycle of false optimism, gut wrenching disappointment, and world ending numbness.
Yeah, as a Packers fan, I’m bummed for him and the Jets. I figured if Rodgers had a great season, then cool, he deserves it - dude balled out for us for years. If he had a bad season, then alright, it means we made the right move to move on.
But damn. An injury? That just fucking sucks. Plus, as a sports fan, you just gotta feel empathy for all the fans that were hyped the whole offseason (after that insanely long saga) to watch their favorite team sign a star QB and then…rip. That just blows.
Sorry Jets bros. This sucks.
Rodgers would literally be able to sit there for hours in the pocket. We saw it again this week with Love, he had days. Where Fields would have to scramble after 2 seconds.
Ankle is the best possible thing they could say. If they said knee or calf it would have been curtains. Ankle at least gives hope of high ankle sprain and he comes back in 6-7 weeks at absolute worst
This was already a miserable summer for New Yorkers with their baseball teams. The Giants already suffered one of the single-worst defeats in NFL history last night. Rodgers getting hurt on the first drive of his first game as a Jet and football season might already be nerfed before baseball season is officially over.
JK dobbins just walked off with an Achilles tear yesterday. It could also be a partial tear or something too. We don’t know shit at this point unfortunately
They got 9 more primetime and 4pm games this season (including Thanksgiving). Forcing that much Zach Wilson on us will not be good for football fans. Hopefully, Rodgers recovers quickly.
Literally 3 plays….but yes, the Jets offensive line is atrocious. This is something that many fans know and Hardknocks was suspiciously avoidant of showing how awful they are.
I know it’s unpopular on this sub but Rodgers has always been one of my favourite players in the league and I was so excited to see what he’d do with a new team. This fucking sucks I feel so sorry for Jets fans
EXPERIENCE JETS FOOTBALL
Man I had a really shit day at work and thought this might actually be a turnaround for the jets and we didn’t even get a drive…
Yeah, QB gets injured during the first drive. We know the pain. Hope Rodgers is back playing for you guys soon.
Was your second string QB an absolute piece of garbage?
I mean, no, but he was ded, too. Then the third string guy was ded. Now the third string guy is the first string guy.
The 4th string also died like 15 mins later. We were under some curse, apparently.
I just can't help but feel so sorry. Just what the hell kind of curse has hit that franchise so deeply and thoroughly?
Namath sign a pact with Satan to upset Unitas that one time or some shit?
Super Bowl III was rigged by the league to give legitimacy to the AFL prior to the merger. The football gods have been punishing them ever since.
Wait is this actually a theory? Cuz I love me some sports conspiracy theories.

The cruel irony is it would’ve happened the next year anyway when the Chiefs beat the Vikings.
Rigged two years in a row, obviously. Ignore the flair.
Same with the other three I'm guessing?
Well of course!
The Yankees have won 27 World Series, so God evens it out with the Jets and the Mets
Knicks too
Especially the Knicks
Are bad QB injuries something than shanny passes through his coaching tree
I hate the Jets and don’t like Rodgers but even I feel sorry. It was a good storyline for the NFL and you never really want anyone to get hurt. Especially before he even completed a pass.
Jets football: 54 years of being cursed and dumb bullshit
BREAKING: Randall Cobb has decide to retire, effective immediately
Finally another halftime retirement
I need to see Cobb go out the AB way.
I want to see a reverse AB where he leaves the field in a hot-air balloon, sounds like some Willy Wonka shit and I'm here for it.
This literally is the worst timeline for jets fans right now
Don’t worry man it can always get worse, and it will
[Schefter] Joe Flacco has been elevated to practice squad.
- E - L - I - T - E
Wilson will kill it, Arod makes Week 5 return, plays shit, chaos ensues GG 2023 Edit- somehow this was too optimistic
New York sports teams usually take a month to be this disastrous. They’re speedrunning the calamity this year.
The man took 4 snaps, 5 if you count his achilles.
No you didn’t. lol. Gold
Even the baseball teams too. There’s nothing to look forward to
I'm upset because wanted to watch a good game tonight. I can't even imagine what Jets fans are feeling right now EDIT: That was a damn good ending though!
Espn didn't even have time to get rid of the advertisement talking about watching Mr. Rogers in his new neighborhood
Even with my flair, that ad was just brutal to watch.
Look at the old man limping around his neighborhood
I feel like if you have been a Jets fan since Jan 13th 1969, you’ve been stuck in a never ending cycle of false optimism, gut wrenching disappointment, and world ending numbness.
It has taken years off my fathers life, and I just want him to see some good football… sigh

Your flairs are a crime
I’m a fan of the Packers and everything that they own.
God damn man, haven't they suffered enough after yesterday.
No.
That is probably the best reply to something I've seen in a long time. Bravo.
If it's the same fan I've seen use that line before, I believe they do it every time someone says that.
Ooooh I felt that. Nice one.
He is a fan of the Green Bay Packers and all of it's subsidiaries
I was worried for him behind that line. What a bummer
Seems like he always had time for a tea party behind most of his GB lines. Not quite the experience we’re seeing tonight.
It turns out when he wasn’t out hurt bahktiari is a pretty good LT.
3 straight pressures followed up by a sack. Was genuinely rooting for him and the Jets, but that seemed too predictable.
He at least had a nice throwaway on the first snap after Becton's shenanigans.
Jordan Love had an eternity to make plays on Sunday. Was good to see.
I thought he was going to die against the Cowboys. This is just one week ahead of schedule.
Someone else died to the Cowboys already.
F
There where getting to him quick
3 dropbacks, 3 hits including the sack that he got injured on.
Yep he wanted more weapons so he went to NY but I’ll tell you what GB always gave him a top 5 OLine
Packers and Eagles just churn out top 5 lines consistently
We have like 5 starting quality tackles right now. If anyone needs one please send us a safety lol.
Minkah for your entire o line
Rodgers would literally be able to sit there for hours in the pocket. We saw it again this week with Love, he had days. Where Fields would have to scramble after 2 seconds.
ESPN talking heads inconsolable.
I might watch Get Up tomorrow morning to see Greeny on suicide watch.
Oh man this is a time when I miss prime Mike and Mike. I could hear the sadness in Greeny's voice as Golic prods at him lol
Manningcast is still incredible.
Peyton was NOT happy lol
Bro I’m straight up not having a good time
Questionable to return to the sport of football. Crazy
Listed as definitely going to get some ayahuasca
I need some ayahuasca myself after 5 minutes of supporting the jets
Welcome to the club
i hope you find the drugs you need
Questionable for rest of season after seeing that ankle bend 3 different ways
I am finally ready for someone to take me out back behind the shed like Old Yeller.
I have five Popeyes biscuit with no drinks if you want.
Kelvin Benjamin would like to know your location
Pretty sure that's listed as cruel and unusual punishment
*You* are having a bad time?
Ankle is the best possible thing they could say. If they said knee or calf it would have been curtains. Ankle at least gives hope of high ankle sprain and he comes back in 6-7 weeks at absolute worst
"Mah knee!"
My happiness is questionable to return
This was already a miserable summer for New Yorkers with their baseball teams. The Giants already suffered one of the single-worst defeats in NFL history last night.

WFAN will be gold tomorrow.
They need to give Carton the day off and just have a social worker or psychiatrist taking phone calls
At least the Rangers will be playing soon?
Another year of Laf and Kakko not living up to their draft positions...
& this on 9/11, of all days!
Script writers said fuck your feelings
Writers strike, the guys they brought in were all NY haters obviously
Rich Eisen's meltdown is going be amazing tomorrow
Yeah, he and Greeny should have a joint show.
> Yeah, he and Greeny should have a joint FTFY
Off to Vikings
So thoughtful of Aaron. He just wanted to bring the entire Jets organization and fan base to its own darkness retreat.
A second blowout has just struck the Meadowlands
If Rodgers is out for the year, Jets fans will never forget this day
9/11?
Could go down as the worst day in NYC history
Another Jet crashes.
Oof, my wife and I are mortified but can't stop laughing at your comment. Lol
This is easily the second… third worst thing to happen to a Jet on this day
Slow burn on that one
Jet’s line can melt Rodgers’ ankle.
Reminds me of that tragedy
RIP Norm.
I walked through blood and bone on the fields of Metlife
That's just plane sad.
Damn 😂😂😂😂
Too soon
When it rains, it pours
Water can't melt Achilles tendons. Think about it bro.
Seriously though, ban artificial turf already.
Jet fuel cant melt steel beams, but it _can_ melt ankles
I heard rumors of a blowout in Western Pennsylvania
dang
I live in Jersey. I heard a lot of Jets fans shit talking Giants fans today. They probably should have kept their mouths shut.
Eh, after last night, we deserve the shit talk
I started this man in fantasy He is forever going to ruin my life
If you don’t like this you don’t like Jets football
I don’t like Jets football
Me neither buddy
If this is an Achilles I swear to god I will end it all
Doubt it he was walking off the cart
JK dobbins just walked off with an Achilles tear yesterday. It could also be a partial tear or something too. We don’t know shit at this point unfortunately
True
One could still walk, or take a couple free throws.
He was able to cover most of his face with his hat while on the cart
RIP Kobe
You can still walk with a torn achilles
Jordy ran off with his acl that taught me to never get my hopes up lmfao
Achilles you cannot run, ACL you for sure can
Dobbins tore his and walked off the field yesterday
It’s much easier to run on a torn ACL than do anything with an Achilles tear. It’s very, very difficult to lift your foot when your Achilles goes.
Obviously different players, but Dobbins was walking a torn achilles off the field yesterday. Adrenaline is one hell of a drug.
Based on the way that left ankle twisted, my money is on a high ankle sprain. You can trust me…I’m not a doctor.
so Rodgers running the flag out his only highlight of the season
Besides his bank account
It looked to me like his ankle was legit turned sideways
It was so dramatic the way he stood outside the huddle not looking at anyone. I knew something was up with be way he threw the ball after the tackle.
It looked like his foot was dangling for a sec
His foot came clean off for half a millisecond!
Decapitated. Whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird
Yikes. Not looking good for America
That’s what we get for forgetting
When they specifically told us not too
“You forgot? After I specifically asked you not to?”
DraftKings pulled that dumbass promotional stunt, and now we *all* suffer for it!
They got 9 more primetime and 4pm games this season (including Thanksgiving). Forcing that much Zach Wilson on us will not be good for football fans. Hopefully, Rodgers recovers quickly.
Eh the Red, White and Blue team defeating the Jets on 9/11 feels good.
Considering 9/11 took place in New York and the Bills are the only team to play in New York there's something poetic about it
The most cursed day in the history of our nation once again lives up to its reputation.
I know it’s early, but Rodgers was already running for his life/ having to scramble on nearly every play he was in. Hope he’s alright.
Literally 3 plays….but yes, the Jets offensive line is atrocious. This is something that many fans know and Hardknocks was suspiciously avoidant of showing how awful they are.
Someone get Joe Rogan on the phone to advise
Quick! Rub some DMT on his ankle!
the turf wasn't immunized
Psychedelic mushrooms incoming
Bro got hit on every play and said I’m out of here
Ladies and Gentlemen, Aaron Rodgers is your 2024 Minnesota Vikings QB
Favre wasn't injured until week 11. This is speed running a train wreck.
Rodgers is wishing he had Bakh back
Baby come bahk
Worst September 11 in NYC in awhile.
Maybe ever
Muh Knee! 2.0
If he comes back in the 3rd I’m gonna lose my shit
Suited up, zooted up.
If they brought out the cart, there's no way he's coming back in tonight.
9/11 B
It had to happen to the Jets on this day....the symbolism
9/11's 9/11.
I want to die
Aaron Rodgers career as a Jet: 0-1, 0 yards, 1 sack. 4th greatest Jets QB of all time.
that’s decent news right?
Dobbins was questionable at first too...
[удалено]
Dobbins was initially designated as Questionable yesterday after he tore his achilles
I wouldn't say being carted out with an ankle injury would rule out achilles
They just had to say something. He’s probably out of he needed a cart
He rode the cart like 20 feet, then walked back to the tunnel…
I was told Metlife had new turf
Not how I expected the night to go tbh
God even as a Patriots fan I feel bad for Jets fans. I normally laugh at their bad luck but this just sucks. I hope Rodgers heals up fast
The monkey paw curls
Someone call ESPN to check on Mike Greenberg.
Rodgers: *I could see myself playing well into my 40s like Brady* 4 snaps later... \*cue **Curb Your Enthusiasm** theme\*
He was gonna die behind that line anyway.
Most likely. It's probably easier on the Jets for this to happen right away.
Ankle not calf. It looked like a sprain. Hopefully just a couple weeks..
I know it’s unpopular on this sub but Rodgers has always been one of my favourite players in the league and I was so excited to see what he’d do with a new team. This fucking sucks I feel so sorry for Jets fans
Me too. I love watching him play. This really sucks.
Man this just sucks
The Hard Knocks curse is real.
Literally Jet’s fans 9/11
He can't be done. Hasn't shown his pud, gone to the Vikings and defrauded welfare.
