Rodgers out for the year (UPDATE: Rodgers wants to return for playoffs)

Yeah, Rodgers is done for his career and the Jets' season is done.  The Jets are Josh's kryptonite, like the Browns are to Burrow and the Dols were to Brady.

 

Brady was 24-12 with 8500+ yards, 72 TD and 27 ints--pretty much the same as he was vs the Bills.

[Captain Hindsight]

Jets can't win games like that all year. They forced 4 TOs and won on a punt return TD in OT. Its just not a sustainable method of winning.

 

Bills blew it, but I'd rather walk into next week with Josh Allen than Zach Wilson

Was old man Rodgers really the answer?

 

Strong D will keep them in the conversation.

EVERY QB will go into the Jets game with simple instructions not to turn the ball over.. throw it away/take the sack.. etc. the Jets D is good but they were helped by dumb mistakes like staring down the receiver before throwing the ball. 

[Bob Jones]

And it wasn’t even close to being a hard hit or viscous tackle. Compare that tackle where AR got hurt to all the times in the game JA17 was twisted, pounded, beat, etc. 27 is way more durable than 39, I guess!

I'm sincerely sorry that Rodgers attempt to prove greatness with multiple teams ended as it did.

 

But my inner snark must be freed to say:

I'll just bet the former #2 overall pick of the NY Jets, benched for Rodgers, is perfectly sincere that he loves him right now.

Zach Wilson's outer voice: "I love you, Aaron". 

Zach Wilson's inner voice: "Goodbye Rodgers, Hello Career".

17 is 27, not pushing 40.

 

All of us who lived that long, learned we were all more durable in our 20s than our 40s.

I’m genuinely confused at which play you’re referencing lol two of the picks were bombs into double coverage and one was a play where the ball has to come out before Davis made his break.  It was the right read but the throw was too far inside and Davis ran an absolutely atrocious route as he often does.  The safety had no business being on that route gabe just made no effort selling that he was going deep

Well that was a waste of a 100,000 hours of nonstop offseason bloviating from literally everyone on ESPN. 

I mean a 4 time MVP going to a team loaded with talent that is technically from NYC is kind of a big deal. 
 

it’s just hilarious (and injuries suck and you hate to see them) that it ended that quick.

OK, if 16 other teams have a QB who makes the same team-strangling mental mistakes that Josh did

All 3 INT he never took his eyes off the receiver.. All 3! Yes 2 were deeper but he never used his eyes to move the defense.

You're correct that there was no "staring down of receivers", but staring down or not, other teams have seen that scene from the movie before - the one where Josh hangs in and is gonna throw it deep to Diggs (or Davis) regardless.  The safety knows there are pickings to be had and where they're gonna be.

 

It's true that Davis did not run a route that faked out the safety, but here's the thing - that's a route that Davis has run (and Josh has burnt teams with) a few too many times.  Davis could have had shifty hips like Diggs and the safety would have been "Not Today, Fella".

 

There's a phrase "going to the well once too often".  In this case, it's going to the well many times too often.

Lol I’m not objecting to them being bad decisions but I think looking off the receiver was low on the list of problems with those two deep ones 😂

 

the pick to gabe was a horrendous route…the safety knew exactly where gabe was going from the snap...I don’t think any amount of looking off changes that one.  I’m fine with that read though

Dude, get off his eyes, they don't matter here.  The defense watches film.  The Bills and Allen have become too predictable.  

 

What exactly else, what other routes, did Allen have to look at, that you believe would have moved the defense?

 

They were bad decisions - the first was possibly defensible as it was 3rd and long and a punt was inevitable.

 

The 2nd pick was on 2nd down and the third - w00f.

You are correct.

 

The problem with the read is, the safety knew he could jump the route because it's been on film with Allen to Davis, a bit too often.

 

And if the Bills don't fix this, and fix this fast, every other safety they play is going to be watching for that.

Gabe is wide open if he runs a crisp route there literally for the reasons you mentioned earlier in the post lol other teams have seen the movie before and he’s usually running a ton of go routes.  Probably the laziest route I’ve ever seen.  Still an off target throw though

Lmao what the Bills are only running 1 receiver routes? Look them off like ALL good QBs do.  The 2 deep ones ok maybe not another deep route the last one come on? Look around heck maybe you see a better option by LOOKING.

Idk gabe seems like he’s almost always running gos to me lol maybe that’s anecdotal and I only pay attention to him when he’s running deep though

See above.

 

You're correct it was a sloppy route, but I don't think a crisp route fakes the safety, because of the route combo.  Davis goes to the sideline in that route combo.
