NFL fans are teeing off on Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets for walking out to a popular song on a boombox before they were throttled by the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon.
Aaron Rodgers and company looked to avoid a season series sweep at the hands of their division foes on Sunday, but the result was a full-blown disaster. The Jets were crushed 40-14, with second-stringer Tyrod Taylor throwing both New York touchdowns in garbage time.
Before the game, the Jets tried to get pumped up by blasting the 1995 hit song “Gangsta’s Paradise” by the late Coolio:

“Aaron Rodgers no longer has it,” a fan said.
“This is as Jets as it gets,” wrote another.

“Clown organization,” one user said.
“Rodgers is actually so washed,” a fan remarked.
“What’re they listening to after losing 40-8?,” asked another.
“it’s like walking into a walmart to make yourself think you are in good shape,” joked a fan.

Aaron Rodgers & Jets Should Split After 2024
It’s almost impossible to make a case for the Jets and Rodgers continuing this marriage in 2025. It simply hasn’t worked out, and both sides need to call a divorce while they’re ahead.
Rodgers’ 2024 stat line isn’t terrible by any means, and he is still a capable starter in this league. But the Jets have too many roster holes to fill up, so the wise bet is to trade or release Rodgers and find a new QB to build around.
