Rodgers out on the2nd offensive play.  BILLS STILL LOSE!!!!!  How????,

 

Not prepared to play backup. Happens all the time. Backup comes in and motivates team to try harder.

 

There's a few comes in Bills history where this happen.

 

I think rookie Neil Lomax was one... When Jim Hart went down.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Arod retires.  

Yeah, it would take a lot of drive at 39 to go thru the rehab process to play again.  He could just give back some money and go host a game show.

If he rehabs and comes back to play next year, yes. But that's a huge question mark. At his age an injury settlement seems a lot more likely. How many players come back from that injury at age 40? I'm going to guess zero.

The $75mm is Guaranteed, whether he plays or not.  Just not sure what the cap impacts are if he doesn’t come back, as you suggest.

When you sign a player with huge guaranteed money, the team takes on that risk.  Don’t see any player giving back money guaranteed in their contract.

This was a bitter sweet game for the Jets. Yes they won, but their season is over.

What exactly makes you believe that they can

I’ll assume you watched the game.

No idea how it happened- that has to have been the gentlest sack I've ever seen.  
 

'Excuse me sir, can I help you to your seat?'  I swear that's what it looked like.

He’s probably going to retire.  He’s 40 this month I believe.  That’s a year at least and most never come back 100%.
 

Hell hate giving up all that $ back to the Jets.

Aaron Rogers is out for the season and there is a good chance he will never play again. (ESPN)

If you Jets fans believe you will win anything with Zack Wilson, it ain't happening

That makes the loss even worst. There might not have been a more depressed fanbase in sports. And we let them hang around.

 

when the bills play a road playoff game, we will remember the time freaking Zack Wilson outplayed Josh Allen in the second half as why we aren’t at home. 

[Doc]

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.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

What about the war- who won that? Cleveland??

[K D]

Achilles is a full 12+ month recovery. If you are 40 it might be a 15 month+ recovery. Does Rodgers do the rehab and try and come back past age 41? He might have to go do a darkness retreat to see what the universe says.

[SoCal Deek]

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

[Matt_In_NH]

As terrible as we feel today, Jets fans have it 10000% worse

Not the first time either.

[BuffaloBillyG]

At least they won't owe Green Bay a 1st next year. So they got that going for them. Which is nice.

[Heavy Kevi]

Is it possible we both lost the war?

 

Aaron is done probably forever and the jets got what you get when you put the oldest player in the NFL behind the worst oline.

 

But it's also clear that Josh needs a sea change in coaching to be effective again. It's pretty obvious nobody is holding him accountable and pushing him. Idk if that's OC or the whole shabang, but it showed itself last year, and is quite clearly bleeding into this year too.

 

I would say the Phins won the war... But playing jets D and Bills D 4 times I'd be surprised is Tua makes it through all those games.

The saying is that they won the battle but lost the war

They won last night.

[Yobogoya!]

The good news for Bills fans is our coaches have a solid ten weeks to figure out this dynamic Zach Wilson/ Nate Hackett offense... perhaps by then they can crack the code 🤓
