I cut out before the asterisk talk… are they saying that this win should count as 3 because of the Rodgers injury ?

Edit — nevermind — saw the posts above

Harrisburg, Pa.
Xavier went to my alma mater. He’s a fantastic dude that I got to speak with a few times on trips back to Texas. So happy for him. He should’ve been drafted.

Wow!

Jets deserve it. Bills came up small in OT. False start, incompletion stuff incompletion, bad punt terrible coverage.

Damn, I think John Parry had money on the Bills.
Not sure why he's talking about it just being a tripping call, honestly.

You literally cannot block below the waist on a punt return:

ARTICLE 4. BLOCKING BELOW THE WAIST. Blocks below the waist are prohibited in the following situations: (a) By players of either team after a change of possession; or (b) By players of the kicking team after a Free Kick, Safety Kick, Fair-Catch Kick, Punt, Field-Goal Attempt, or Try Kick; (c) By players of the receiving team during a down in which there is a Free Kick, Safety Kick, Fair-Catch Kick, Punt, Field- Goal Attempt, or Try Kick; or (d) By players of either team during a scrimmage down prior to a change of possession unless the contact occurs in the Tight End Box. (Note: Players are prohibited from initiating contact below the waist of an opponent outside the Tight End Box, except against a runner or a player who is attempting to catch a forward or backward pass). Note: The following blocking restrictions may result in a foul even if they occur in the Tight End B

Small for about 90% of the second half. Only put together one drive that almost resulted in a doinked field goal attempt.

Can’t remember seeing a punt return where the guy reversed field like that and return team didn’t get called for illegal block in the back

Fun for Jets fans but both of these teams looked shaky. First game, Rodgers, etc. all reasonable justifications of course. But I think they both looked beatable, or at least not stratospheres above the Pats.

That kind of good fortune never happens to the Jets.
This was the worst possible way to win for the Jets. Rodgers looks pretty hurt. The fortune is very, very, very poor. Months of buildup for Rodgers to be seriously injured in the first few minutes of the game without completing a single pass.

That's the tweet we've been waiting for.

They already probably know.... physical exam with a competent team ortho is usually enough.

MRI is for confirmation and pre-op planning. What an absolutely insane start (and end??) to his Jets career.
Is that a 12 month recovery?

Beatable certainly, but I’d also be worried about getting out of both Jet games with a healthy Mac.

Here’s your chance Zach. The keys to the car are yours now, don’t crash it.
LOL

They probably bring in someone like 2 gloves. Who else is available? We play Dallas next week, we’re in a world of shit unless we just hash them running.

BTW, the oline was bad but Rodgers didn’t need to hold the ball that long. The ball was supposed to come out. Fucking blows

I think Rodgers’ previous contract was not guaranteed for injury in the second year until after this season, but his new deal is fully guaranteed.
