Player safety but he lets the league put that joke of a turf out there.

Yes. I mean,...there should be some protocol for breaking in new turf. Activate it before your multi-million dollar players get to go run all over it for the 1st time. The guys were dropping like flies out there in the 1st half until it was broken in. They could've done alot of things to prevent this.

The Giants and Steelers played on it on Monday, this wasnt the first game on it. First game during the day though. Does it act different with heat from the sun?

"After Sunday's 31-13 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets coach Adam Gase was brutally honest about his feelings toward his 0-2 team." -Bleacher Report

"I'm pissed right now," he said, via SNY's Ralph Vacchiano. "That s--t is no fun going out there and getting your ass beat."

Gase actually lucked out... that game would have been a 50 burger if the 49ers were healthy

There may be some issues with the turf but injuries are happening all over the league. Barkley went down with a knee injury that's thought to be serious. I saw several players being listed as out of the game on the stream at the bottom of the picture as well as a large number already on the injured list prior to the game. The lack of proper training camps is really hurting the teams.

Stafford! Stafford! Stafford! Trade!!!

a ton of the players on twitter are bashing the fields turf.

When AstroTurf first came out in mid 60s or somewhere back there in the "9th wonder of the world Astrodome" (according to Texans), there was a lot of discussion if that caused a lot more knee injuries. I've walked on it, never played on it, only grass. The obvious thing is grass and dirt fields (not frozen) give and give plenty. You can slide. But on artificial it seems only logical that cleats are going to get hung up more than they would in grass or dirt.

There never was a determination if AstroTurf caused injuries to knees, ankles, etc, moreso thaN natural grass. But an awful lot of folks sure thot so.

New turf isn't astroturf anymore. There's a huge difference between new and old turf. Don't know why the players said it was so terrible today though, not something you normally hear complaints about on a turf field.

Been reading that the players were very concerned about that turf at met life early on. They complained that the field was "sticky", and now we've lost very key plays all with lower leg/knee injuries. A Steelers lineman was lost due to an ACL tare last week. This cannot be a coincidence. Something is clearly wrong with that turf. I hope Shanny & Co. fight hard not to play the Giants at Metlife unless they fix that trash turf.

There was a touch back on a punt that spoke volumes about that field in I think the 4th Quarter. The gunner slid for nearly 5 yards with that rubber flying everywhere. It was a slick field.

Starting to question if Jimmy and Bosa aren't just injury prone. Everything was laid out perfect for us last season

Well I don't think anything can be done about the field now. I'll be suprised if the league does anything.

This! Last year was our opportunity and we blew it.

True, but sliding , and sticking your cleats in the non mobile turf is an entirely different thing. And i agree that AstroTurf, the first one, was entirely different than today's multiple products. Still, if you stick your cleats in it, they pretty much stay. You don't slide 4 or 5 feet with your cleats stuck in the turf.

you can however, bend your knee backwards or torque your ankle of knee with your cleats stuck in a turf that doesn't allow give , like grass and dirt do. Kittle's injury last week had that been turf...would have ended his season right there. Of that i have no doubt.
