Rodgers rips into Jets fans
Since his arrival, coach Rex Ryan has made it a habit to try to stoke up the Jets and implore their rabid support. Ryan has even gone as far as to record phone messages to be sent out to season ticket holders to urge them on.
Based on the observations of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers from Sunday's game at the Meadowlands, it might be time for Ryan to send out another of those pre-recorded messages. Rodgers, leaking all over the passive and indifferent Jets home crowd, said, "It wasn't that wild to be honest with you. I was surprised. Fans, a lot of them didn't show up until the second quarter."
Rodgers said he was particularly surprised at how quiet the place was considering the Jets entered the game as the NFL's hottest team, having won five in a row.
"All of us were very surprised, a 5-1 team, as well as they were playing, [that] it wasn't a louder stadium," he said.
Ouch.
