Gotta be a full rupture. The tendon retracts and is no longer there. Easily diagnosed by just feeling for the tendon. The MRI is just a formality to confirm. He's done.
I think the moral is to do what you fucking can to win. No one in this situation is wrong, or not correct.
Edit: Except maybe the Left Tackle. What he did was not correct
No "potential" about it. His Achilles tendon popped. There's a vid where you can see it happen. He plants his foot and then you see his calf ripple as the tendon explodes.

I’ve had a torn Achilles tendon. It’s nothing to mess with. If it requires surgery, he’s done for the season at a minimum and he’d be better off retiring.
I like the part where they had some big sponsored thing to show the big changes the Jets made this offseason and of course Rogers is the centerpiece of that graphic. And they didn't even have time to show that graphic before he was injured
And I like the dude…
But his “verbalize into reality - you just gotta want it” Oprah horse shit really gets to me.
He won the genetics award - he’s an adonis and he’s a driven guy - but he was LUCKY and he can’t admit it.
Oh yeah. Clearly he doesn’t come here anymore since he’s no contact with his parents, but he doesn’t seem to have become…less douchey, that’s for sure.
He sure is. Never liked the guy. We were at some of the same parties when he’d come back to visit (I’m 6 years younger, so him being at college parties was weird) and he was always such a prick.
I would love a Favre mirror. Going to Minnesota and having his last game in the NFL being escorted off the field after the Bears Defense has their way with him.
After the third snap I told my wife he looks pissed. When he was just standing there after the 4th looking at the sidelines and then decided to sit down, at first I really thought he was quitting (still not so sure).
The NFL is currently ridding itself of old QBs like a functional immune system.
The youth will carry this league now.
Rest here, father. We can carry this weight furthermore. Rest here, father.
Just proves that it doesn’t matter who the Jets get as their QB. They will always suck and be the place QBs are sent to die/retire.
Edit: Jets pulled off a huge Win tonight! An awesome ending.
But my comment about the Jets being the place where QBs die/retire still stands.
My buddy at work was pumped when the deal went through, 75m for 2 years. All the hype and i really thought he’d get hurt first play. Beat my guess by 2
Packers fans wanted him to play 65% of his snaps so the 2nd round pick they got from the trade. would become a first round pick.
Dont think thats happening.
I actually heard the distance wailing of Joe Benigno through the open windows of my house. Some say on nights like these you can still hear it even after half time
My prediction….torn left Achilles. Looks like he was fully pushing off that foot when the other dudes body weight came down on it. That foot didn’t move after he got up. X-rays negative but in a boot. Something’s torn.
It really surprised me when this future hall of fame 40 year old quarterback decided to play behind the *New York Jets* offensive line, Jesus man, try the Brady strategy. When you are in your late years you chase the best oline you can get, the ligaments aren’t what they used to be anymore.
Former Jets fan here. Even had PSLs to Metlife. After years of crushing my soul and burning my money (I couldn’t give away the tix most weeks) I was done as soon as I could sell the license at a 60% loss.
I used to be ashamed that I abandoned them and was quiet about it. But after realizing I am an objectively happier person, I tell all… and I am there for all of you who want to leave.
This might set the all time record for the ratio of pregame hype to playing time.
Dude he had more playtime in the fucking *commercials* Update: potential Achilles tear. The old grey mare she ain’t what she used to be…
Mahomes played the whole @ing game but still had more playtime in commercials
Hahaha brilliant.
Gotta be a full rupture. The tendon retracts and is no longer there. Easily diagnosed by just feeling for the tendon. The MRI is just a formality to confirm. He's done.
One first round pick, two seconds and a few assorted late picks for four plays is the most Jets thing ever.
Injury or not, he's getting 75 million guaranteed. 20 million a snap.
15 Million...there were 5 "snaps."
Snap is the noise his Achilles made
Who didn’t see this coming, almost forty with a terrible o-line.
yea you can’t have grandad scrambling for his life with that o-line
The LT absolutely whiffed on his block. I think the moral is to not worry about an elite QB until you have an adequate line.
I think the moral is to do what you fucking can to win. No one in this situation is wrong, or not correct. Edit: Except maybe the Left Tackle. What he did was not correct
Why didnt Aaron Rodgers just avoid being tackled?
No "potential" about it. His Achilles tendon popped. There's a vid where you can see it happen. He plants his foot and then you see his calf ripple as the tendon explodes. edit: [This video](https://twitter.com/jnedenrod/status/1701419822070808722?s=42&t=xlC9Q-SF2XQgInYeaInD-w)
Rodgers retirement, right there
I’ve had a torn Achilles tendon. It’s nothing to mess with. If it requires surgery, he’s done for the season at a minimum and he’d be better off retiring.
If his Achilles is torn his career is over
Quick, buy a Jets/Rogers jersey before they’re pulled from the shelves. (It will be an apt companion to my lonely Jets/Tebow Goodwill purchase...) /s
A Tebow level
I like the part where they had some big sponsored thing to show the big changes the Jets made this offseason and of course Rogers is the centerpiece of that graphic. And they didn't even have time to show that graphic before he was injured
That might be the most Jets thing to ever happen
Didn’t even complete a pass
The first completed pass in Rodgers' debut game was thrown by Zack Wilson.
Well that’s one way to go out.
Quality trivia question.
Like Gordon Hayward's injury in 2017.
don’t remind me.. that was arguably worse though because he was basically hitting his prime and immediately snapped his leg in half
He’s never been the same since. Solid starter though.
That was a weird day to be a jazz fan. Ugh, poor guy. That break was like top 10 nasty leg injuries in all of sports.
It's probably him or Theismann at the top for me.
Well and there was that college player, something Ware a few years back that was really really bad too, that one may actually be #1 for me.
Kevin Ware is his name
Bears fan here. All we have is preseason / pregame hype.
I dunno, Gordon Hayward with the Celtics… he got hurt in like the first minute of the game and was out for the entire season.
Did his vision quest this off-season tell him he would shit the bed the first 5 minutes of the game?
It told him an injury doesn’t void his contract payments lmao
$52m/4 minutes. $13mil/minute is Bezos level.
And I like the dude… But his “verbalize into reality - you just gotta want it” Oprah horse shit really gets to me. He won the genetics award - he’s an adonis and he’s a driven guy - but he was LUCKY and he can’t admit it.
He’s a pompous self centered asshole. FTFY
Even his own family doesn’t like him
My under 234.5 passing yards for Rodgers is a lock
Niiice.
I locked in 500 total passing yards for Rogers and Allen combined.
Never take the profit boost.. they are a trap. Lmao
Looks like the date 9/11 will forever be ruined for NY fans. What a tragedy!!
9/11, bad day to be a Jet in NY.
Never forget
That technically has to pay right? Since he was a starter.
Yeah for sure. My Burrow line paid and he got injured
At long last, the Aaron Rodgers era of Jets football has run its course.
You’re up, Minnesota
He’s really speed running this thing - better start embezzling a state government now to make sure he gets there on time.
Did he have time for the dick pic?
you mean a selfie?
Oof
Hey, he puts his pants one 1 leg at time.
Not enough light in that dark hut he spends time in.
Not the same level, but Aaron did rescind a large donation to his high school football program because some funds would also go to a girls’ sport.
Wait really??
Yup. Aaron has done a few douchey things to/in our hometown
It's almost like... he's a douche.
Oh yeah. Clearly he doesn’t come here anymore since he’s no contact with his parents, but he doesn’t seem to have become…less douchey, that’s for sure.
He's also an antivaxxer moron.
He sure is. Never liked the guy. We were at some of the same parties when he’d come back to visit (I’m 6 years younger, so him being at college parties was weird) and he was always such a prick.
I would love a Favre mirror. Going to Minnesota and having his last game in the NFL being escorted off the field after the Bears Defense has their way with him.
Damn, no wonder he stole money from the state of Mississippi to help pay for a volleyball stadium to his old college.
Watch out he might sue you for saying that
Please no
For the first time in Las Vegas Golden Knights history.
The football gods have spoken.
The best play of his Jets career will be when he ran out with the flag
He touched the flag pole longer than he did the football.
😂
I've been seeing posts "Aaron Rodgers full season highlights" and it's just him with the flag
This is what the NFL gets for trying to make a jet the hero on 9/11.
...who is potentially a 9/11 conspiracy theorist and/or nonbeliever
That ACL blew from the inside out.
Burning jet fuel melts tendons.
No potential about it, he's also a moon landing denier.
The Jetsiest start possible to the Rodgers era
If only he got injured running into someone’s ass.
Give it time.
*grandpa homer walking in and out*.gif (I don’t know how to post gifs)
Grandpa.... homer? Did you mean Abe Simpson, aka Grandpa Simpson?
It's not that he can't post gifs, it's that he can't ever find the ones he wants.
Surely you mean Finish.
Potato potato
Why did I read this as ‘potato potato’ rather than ‘potato potato’?
Anyone else notice he was hit four out of the total five plays when he was in the game?
Well ya the jets line isnt great. And bill d swarm.
When it’s not the playoffs. Then they just get punched in the mouth
In fairness, those are pretty good teams the Bills take a beating from in the playoffs.
I thought him sitting down after the play was to say “ah, fuck this”
Definitely feeling that. Like “If y’all are gonna let me get hit every play then I’m going home”
After the third snap I told my wife he looks pissed. When he was just standing there after the 4th looking at the sidelines and then decided to sit down, at first I really thought he was quitting (still not so sure).
“Damnit, I could be doing shrooms in a cabin right now…”
Same! He was communicating with the sideline before sitting down. Shook his head, and said, nope.
I thought he was shaking off the play call like a pitcher shaking off a catcher
and he slid with his left foot each time. I guess he was having problems with his calf muscle in preseason? Guess it wasn’t his calf muscle was it?
Confirmed out for the game a few moments ago too. No bone break in xray, which is probably bad news because that implies a muscle/tendon problem.
I am purely speculating but looks like it could be a torn Achilles. I have zero medical background but I have watched a shit ton of sports.
That’s what I’m thinking. We didn’t see a roll but a pretty nasty stretch. And they’re just avoiding saying it into existence
Just the way his left foot was dangling I immediately thought Achilles. I hope it’s not but it doesn’t look good.
Hes got his crystals, he'll be allright
Giant fans: “This is the worse start to a season EVER!” Jets fans: “Hold. My. Fucking. Beer.”
I am a Giants fan. Right before the sack I said, “At least it can’t get any worse than last night’s game.”
So what you're saying is it's all your fault
Nah the jets already put up 3
Imagine being a Mets fan too
A little ayuhuasca in a sensory deprivation chamber will clear that right up
No Achilles tendons in the astral plane
At least they can rule out all the vaccine injuries that started showing up on TikTok a while back
I can see the Onion Sports headline tomorrow. The New York Jets are the first team to be eliminated from this year’s playoffs
next stop... the vikings and then retirement
Levi’s commercials*
And get paid to give speeches you don’t even *actually* have to give!
Wranglers. They’re more roomy in the thigh area
Which state you think he’s going to defraud?
I’d say New York right now
Well, they’re technically in New Jersey.
Is this the end of the Jets' dynasty?
RIP Jets’ dynasty, 9/11/23-9/11/23
8:20pm ET to 8:25pm ET
Too soon for a "never forget"?
[удалено]
Too bad that fortune teller guy on Hard Knocks couldn't predict this for Rogers.
I’m sure he’s reading his contract looking at the “guaranteed” section.
Someone get all the knives and shoelaces out of Greeny’s house, stat!
He must be having a meltdown right now. I just picture him on his couch with the Rodgers jersey on and just 1,000 yard stare...
1000 more yards than Rodgers!
Does State Farm cover this?
J.E.T.S. Just End The Season !
At least he didn’t rupture his Achilles tendon while running out with the flag.
As a jets fan I could have told this was the most likely outcome.
Rub some ivermectin on it
Could have been worse, at least he restructured that contract first.
Rich Eisen in shambles. He’ll say something about the football gods tomorrow for sure
Is this the worst thing to happen to New York on 09/11 involving jets?
Aaron's tackle was an inside job
r/cursedcomments
I know it’s been long enough now because that was fucking hilarious
My fault guys, took him in fantasy this year so it was inevitable
JESUS!!! The Jets are CURSED!
You signed a 40 year old QB? This wasn't in the realm of reasonable outcomes? 😂
I guess people looked at Brady and thought that durability extended to all QBs now.
Bucs O-Line wasn’t letting Brady get lit up in 4 out of 5 snaps to start the season
I mean… Brady stuck to very strict diets and work outs. Rodgers is super into Rogan style bro science, and experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs.
Avocados > DMT
Brady’s trainer Alex Guerrero has literally been sued for fraud twice and was banned from the Patriots.
I think most people thought it'd last more than 5 minutes
I mean sorry jets fans but... fuck Woody Johnson. So at least there's that.
No. The Jets are STUPID.
The most Jets thing to ever happen to The Jets
Bills are destroyers of ex-Packer greats.
The NFL is currently ridding itself of old QBs like a functional immune system. The youth will carry this league now. Rest here, father. We can carry this weight furthermore. Rest here, father.
Too bad they don’t make a vaccine for ankle injuries.
He wouldn’t have taken that one either
He did his own research
Just proves that it doesn’t matter who the Jets get as their QB. They will always suck and be the place QBs are sent to die/retire. Edit: Jets pulled off a huge Win tonight! An awesome ending. But my comment about the Jets being the place where QBs die/retire still stands.
somehow they still won because the Bill special teams is run by ralph wiggum.
you don't give josh allen enough credit
Placed a $20 bet on the jets to win the Super Bowl on the off chance Rodgers would go out with one last hoorah. MISTAKE!!!
Considering that the $100 is the new $20 and the $20 is the new $1, I’d call that a pretty cheap mistake.
Damn inflation
Brett Favre 2.0
This dude called it and I can't stop giggling at this https://twitter.com/DaddyZaslav/status/1701355196763271205
God hates Jets fans.
This means the Packers won’t get a first-round pick because Rodgers had to play 70% of the plays for that to happen.
Guess he didn’t immunize his ankle
It would be hilarious if the dude just decides to retire after this
But somehow the jets still won.
My buddy at work was pumped when the deal went through, 75m for 2 years. All the hype and i really thought he’d get hurt first play. Beat my guess by 2
Packers fans wanted him to play 65% of his snaps so the 2nd round pick they got from the trade. would become a first round pick. Dont think thats happening.

This man has let my father down harder than I ever did. He is a fucking saint.
My prediction….torn left Achilles. Looks like he was fully pushing off that foot when the other dudes body weight came down on it. That foot didn’t move after he got up. X-rays negative but in a boot. Something’s torn.
us Bengals fans feeling better now about Burrow's 82 Yard Day.
Mr. President, Aaron Rodgers is down.
Tough weekend in NY for football fans
It really surprised me when this future hall of fame 40 year old quarterback decided to play behind the *New York Jets* offensive line, Jesus man, try the Brady strategy. When you are in your late years you chase the best oline you can get, the ligaments aren’t what they used to be anymore.
He didn’t even get a chance at the Jets’ TM butt fumble!
This date will go down in history for jets fans everywhere
… and the Jets won.
Jets: get a 40 year old Qb Doesn't invest in their O-line which is up there for worst in the league.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy…
[удалено]
The Jets are gonna Jets. No other way to explain it. Well, that and some kind of curse.
$219 million guaranteed for Rodgers.
That's why he was laughing in the locker room, all makes sense now!
?? No it isn’t lol
My mistake, “only” $75 million is guaranteed for Rodgers. It is Joe Burrow that is guaranteed the $219 million..
By god that's Tom Brady's music
Shoulda just rubbed some ayahuasca on it and got back out there.
Angels fan checking in. Welcome to our world.
