Boomer and Craig opened up this action-packed edition of the Morning Extravaganza on opposites sides of the fence in regard to the Jets and which word was more apt word to describe them.
Ryan insisted on Monday that the Jets "go down to win," and those who think that the team was playing "scared" in a 29-26 defeat are "ridiculous."
They won't be favored when they return from a bye week to play at Seattle in Week 10 or when they host the Patriots the following week, but they have an excellent chance of going 8-1 or 7-2 in the final nine games.
Who will have more return yards n Week 8 -- David Wilson or Joe McKnight? It's Tweet Throwdown time!
One thing is for sure after watching Sunday's game -- make that two things. The Patriots are vulnerable, and the Jets had no business losing that one.
The Jets snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on Sunday -- and they managed to do it in as agonizing a fashion as the hardcore and old school fans have ever seen.
Conservatism doesn't play well in the Northeast. And I'm not talking about political campaigns. I'm talking about Jets football.
Al and Eddie argued that you can just watch baseball highlights in the morning instead of watching the game -- while Boomer and Craig seemed disgusted with this idea.
Boomer and Craig kicked off Monday morning's radio program with lots of football talk.
The Jets had a chance after the Patriots managed just a field goal. New York moved from its 15 to its 40 before Sanchez lost the ball as he was being sacked.
New York's inactives are safety Eric Smith, defensive tackles Sione Po'uha and Kenrick Ellis, wide receiver Clyde Gates, running back Bilal Powell.
Unfortunately, there simply doesn't seem to be any team in the AFC East that can seriously challenge the Patriots.
"The good news is you're tied for first. The bad news is you're tied for last," Ryan said, "but that's kind of the NFL right now.
The New York Jets backup quarterback is trademarking "Tebowing," the move in which he goes down on one knee and holds a clenched fist against his forehead while praying during games.
3-3? The Patriots? It's hard to believe, but as Bill Parcells once said, "You are what your record says you are."
Kris Jenkins held little back Thursday morning in a wide-ranging interview with WFAN's Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton. Homophobia in the locker room, the NFL's participation in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the state of the Jets -- it was all on the table.
Dustin Keller stood in front of his locker for nearly 10 minutes and, perhaps for the first time in months, was not asked about his two most popular Jets teammates.
The Jets waived John Conner on Wednesday, reaching an injury settlement with the 25-year-old fullback. The fifth-round pick of the Jets in the 2010 NFL Draft has been dealing with an MCL sprain and a hamstring injury this season.
With the trade deadline fast approaching, Kevin O'Connell's visit could raise some eyebrows.
Jets running back Shonn Greene has been nominated for the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week award for his tremendous performance in the Jets' 35-9 win over the Colts this past Sunday.
Mark Sanchez is a bare-minimum NFL quarterback. He has a hard time throwing the ball accurately, and the Jets simply don't have the receivers to take on a defense that ranks 28th in passing yards allowed. Tim Tebow, you say? Please.
Mark Sanchez didn't exactly make his fantasy football owners happy with 82 passing yards on Sunday against the Colts. But Jets fans would be more than happy to see this from the starting QB here on out.
While the Jets have shown over the last two weeks that they are beginning to understand the concept of team play, I'm still very skeptical about their chances against their longtime nemesis.
The bluster is back after one big win for the Jets.
