Jets fans left in despair after Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending torn Achilles on social media: ‘Super Bowl hopefuls to toilet bowl hopefuls’

Jets fans didn’t even get a chance to see Aaron Rodgers throw more than one fumble as they vented their frustrations over their quarterback’s season-ending injury on social media just a day after he tore his Achilles tendon against the Bills.

After the Jets defense got a stop on Josh Allen and Co. to gain possession, Rodgers went down on New York’s third play of the night after a tackle by Leonard Floyd, a linebacker for Buffalo.

The Jets listed the 39-year-old as questionable to return with an ankle injury, but things didn’t look good as Rodgers left the MetLife Stadium field on a cart to head to the sideline.

Rodgers’ injury forced Zach Wilson to play under center and the 24-year-old proved he has learned a tremendous amount under his new mentor since last season, when he completed 14 of his 21 passing attempts for 140 yards and a TD. in the Jets’ 22–16 comeback victory.

Needless to say, Jets fans had plenty to talk about after New York’s unfortunate start to the 2023-2024 season.

The 39-year-old Rodgers will now be out for the rest of the season in a disastrous update for the Jets

Jets fans took out their frustrations on X about their bad luck after Rodgers’ injury came to light

‘You are kidding me. Third play? @nyjets fan here since the late 70’s so can’t wait for this…#AaronRodgers,” a Jets fan from Queens told X.

“What a situation for Zach Wilson. Imagine thinking, “At least I have a whole year to learn from one of the greatest ever” and then bam. One play and it’s all you again. I hope the best for Aaron Rodgers,” another user tweeted.

“Nobody has a worst opening weekend than New York City fans. First @Giants loses 40-0 (to the Cowboys) and now @nyjets loses Aaron Rodgers on the first drive. #cursed,” another person said.

‘S***. So much for the #Jets being potential playoff contenders. I was eager to see Aaron and Mahomes duke it out during their match on October 1st since I’ll be watching it live. So much for that. Get well soon #AaronRodgers!’ one fan responded.

‘@BleacherReport @TomPelissero Super Bowl hopeful to bathroom hopeful. ESPN 30 for 30,” another user shared.

“When you realize the most success Aaron Rodgers had tonight was carrying the flag out of the tunnel,” someone commented on X, while also sharing a photo of Jets head coach Robert Saleh looking emotionless after the game on Monday after Rodgers went down with an injury.

Some Jets fans were desperately calling for Tom Brady to come out of retirement this year to play for Gang Green

Some Jets fans even begged Tom Brady, 45, to come out of retirement for a second time to play in “Gang Green” this season in a cry of desperation.

“@BleacherReport @TomPelissero time to call out Tom Bradyrn,” one user said while also sharing a photoshopped photo of the seven-time Super Bowl champion in a Jets uniform.

“Imagine the Jets sign Tom Brady and he wins his eighth Super Bowl.”

The Jets, who are now certainly on the hunt for veteran quarterbacks, have five days to add a third field general to their roster before taking on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, September 17 in Texas.

It remains to be seen who they will follow, but for now the only ones who have a ticket to go south are Wilson, who is in his third NFL season, and Tim Boyle – a practice squad quarterback.

Free agents Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco have been linked to short-term, one-year deals with the Jets.
