Week 1: NFL Discussion Thread

[A Maybe Baker]

That Rodgers injury is the Jetsiest thing that could have happened.

They just wanted to beat the Patriots at having the worst QB in the division.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

that was a really good catch by Wilson.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

In my other league, also against Tyreek Hill, I'm currently winning by 2 points thanks to the Bills defense and kicker...that TD only took a point of the score.

Also in that league I had Jakobi Meyers and Tyler Allgeier on the bench, and Kelce is out. Man I like that team I have there more than the one I have here lmao. And I had 7th pick there and 1st here.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

ho

ly

fuck

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Them Bills trying to make me lose this other fantasy game

 

[TD]

I just peeked at the score.

How?

lol

Jets defense

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Oh man that last field goal brought me down to winning by 0.46 points. Boy am I glad that league switched to decimals this time year.

 

[TD]

It's crazy this is what's happening without Rodgers

 

[Fool's Requiem]

ugh, overtime. I wanna play D&D Heroes before I have to go to bed...

 

[TD]

I turned it on just to see them go to OT.

Nuts to this.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Well I'm glad I also have Bass as my kicker. Bailed out the defense (for now)

 

[TD]

Holy shit what a finish.

 

[TD]

...probably shouldn't have dropped the Jets D/ST.

Oh well.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

This is now how imagined the Jets winning. I expected Rodgers to return to form. Defense hard carried the team.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Oh man thank you Bass for that 50 yarder. I still win that game.

 

[TD]

ARod suspected torn achilles.

 

[Tubby23]

Yeah that is not good

 

[TD]

That's a rough break for the Jets. Like ROUGH.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

I mean they still managed to beat the Bills with only 4 plays out of him.

 

[TD]

Rodgers done for the year, achilles.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Rodgers done for the year, achilles.

Never go to the Jets.

 

[Mark]

Rodgers done for the year, achilles.

I wonder if this means retirement for him. He’s kinda old to take an injury like that, take a season off, go through PT, and then return to playing form. It’s not impossible… but do the Jets even have an offensive line capable of buying him time in the pocket to avoid re-injuring? Would it be worth holding onto him for the remaining 2 seasons they’ll have him for, or would it be worth eating the cost to cut or trade him so they can work on a post-Rodgers run?

 

[TD]

Yeah I think you're probably right that this could be it for him.

 

[Mark]

Yeah I think you're probably right that this could be it for him.

That’s why the old adage “go out on top” exists… Prime example is Brady. Ego made him go for that one last season, and look at him now. Worse off than he would have been had he just hung it up after his one season with Tampa Bay. He’ll go down as one of the greatest to play the game regardless, love him or hate him, but now he has that tarnished last season hanging over his head.

 

[VashTheStampede]

That American Flag run before the game is his entire Jets highlight reel.

Even better that it was on 9/11 and he's a Truther.

 

[TD]

"Over the last 30 years, five iconic quarterbacks (Montana, Favre, Manning, Brady, Rodgers) have switched teams a total of six times. Four of the acquisitions worked out really well. The other two were sabotaged by injury.

The teams sabotaged by injury? Both were the Jets."

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

I'm sad because I wanted to see this play out. It was such a good story line and now it's over. I hope he doesn't retire.

 

[Webster]

Well, Aaron Rodgers' regime at the Jets lasted long....

 

[shortkut]

Rodgers is just following in Farve’s footsteps again

 

[Tubby23]

Rodgers is just following in Farve’s footsteps again

Is he already stealing money?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Is he already stealing money?

From the Jets

 

[Zell 17]

 

[Mark]

From the Jets

Walked ‘em right into it.
