JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just a very awkward position his body was in how his flexed ankle was driven into the disgusting trash MetLife turf Peyton Manning used to go into a fetal position and basically just drop to the ground as soon as the rush got too close Looked like a coward doing so but in hindsight maybe it was just him being smart and living to fight another down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't want to get caught up in this.. but telling me you could see the it snap from that video is kinda ridiculous. It's why they have X-ray's and MRI's....otherwise they would just use a video replay. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially helpful in evaluating concussed players. He snapped it. It's pretty obvious considering how he got up and couldn't put weight on it. His foot/ankle flopped around while he was sitting on the turf too. His season and potentially career is over. All around sadness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what happened to Rodger's foot/ankle/Achilles from the instant replay footage. I assume because I couldn't do that then no-one could.

That’s not his opinion. when you see a calf muscle ripple like that after seeing the way his foot bent forward it looked like an achillies injury obviously I'm not a doc but that was the impression . The fact he could not walk at all and sat down like he did was not good either. I'm sure Rodgers felt it pop and knew he was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it on the first replay they showed his foot bending forward..... I did not see the calf roll up in his leg or ripple as they say it but when your foot bends forward and then you can't take a step when you get up its usually an achillies injury. What's really freaky is wasn't it on the third play in 99 when Vinny tore his achillies ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud, I didn’t think was something that I would need to relay to the peeps here…but it’s torn. I got word of it in the 2nd quarter, but the cellular network in MetLife was too congested to make a post here to tell everyone. In case you needed anymore information/clarification, I worked in the medical field for 9 years before changing careers. What you’re seeing in this video is textbook evidence of a tear/rupture. Especially when you see the calf roll up quickly the way that it did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any call before having access to that was luck. I noticed his calf was balled up considerably compared to the other in slo mo at half time. They didn't show the snap yet that really confirmed it. I also noticed his foot/ankle was hyperflexing and flopping around when he sat on the field. Not putting weight on a limb and getting carted off is almost always serious. I can't remember the last time a player was carted off with a high ankle sprain. Broken ankle would have been the best case scenario but still almost season ending because of the schedule and Zach... I was 90% certain of a Achilles tear before the game ended, now I'm 99% like most others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I told you after the first replay I turned to my wife and said he just tore his god damn achillies ... of course its ALWAYS speculation until MRI's are confirmed but I've seen these damn injuries before and its always the same story . I'm not sure why you are making such a big deal of this ...if you don't believe me fine lets move on. Because my life depends on coming in this forum in hindsight and lying that I saw something I didn't . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked bad but you correctly state, not known with certainty although the slow mo calf ripple I saw after the game is probably the strongest visual evidence possible. My issue is that smash came in to correct a single post posted in real time that it didn’t look like an Achilles with the benefit of hours of additional replays, announcer updates during the remainder of the game, and Saleh’s presser.
