We are just three days away from the NFL match-up that has captivated the entire Tri-State area.
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was a full participant in practice, as expected, while running back Joe McKnight sat out with a separated shoulder.
Sanchez says he should have no limitations leading up to Saturday's showdown against the Giants.
The Jets are desperate for a win now, and Rex Ryan made it clear he's not here to make friends.
If anybody could have determined where Santonio Holmes' head was at during and after the meltdown in Lincoln Financial Field, they'd have been in line for a finder's fee.
Coach Rex Ryan confirmed the injury Monday, adding that "we'll see" if McKnight can play.
As collectively embarrassed as the Giants appeared over their no-show performance against Washington, their Christmas Eve matchup with the Jets is making them quickly forget that debacle.
Boomer & Craig were curious to what kind of weather 'Mother Nature' might provide for Saturday's Showdown between the Jets & Giants.
Needless to say Craig loves when his head coach is talking trash, because it indicates that 'Rex is being Rex,' and Craig likes when 'Rex is Rex.'
"Quite honestly, I never came here to be little brother to anybody," Ryan said on a conference call. "So, it's on."
The Jets did the impossible on Sunday: they made the Giants look good.
While watching the Jets' 45-19 loss, one question kept echoing in my mind: What did they do in practice this week?
Three years now. Same thing. The Giants have control of a playoff spot, they come across an eminently beatable team, and away they go. Right down the rabbit hole.
As disgraceful as Sunday was in Philly, the Jets are somehow no worse for wear. It's unbelievable and in no way erases the truth that this team isn't very good, but it is something to build upon heading into Giants week.
New York trailed 28-0 early and didn't come ready to play. Check out the result in the Jets' first five drives: Fumble. Punt. Interception. Punt. Fumble.
Courtney in Freehold called in to point out that CBS ran an old video of Boomer yesterday, from way back in 1993, when the Blonde Bomber was picked off by Eagles defensive back Eric Allen.
What can you say? After all of the buildup, the Giants and Jets go out and play uninspired, unwatchable football and as a result have uncertain futures as far as the playoffs are concerned.
Coming back from break, Craig labeled the Giants as an average team with a lousy defense.
The loss snapped New York's three-game winning streak, dropping the Jets (8-6) into a tie with Cincinnati for the final wild-card spot in the AFC.
Vick returned last week from broken ribs, but wasn't 100 percent in the Eagles' 26-10 win at Miami. Still, the Jets expect Vick, still dealing with sore ribs, to provide a tough test.
Neil Keefe wants you to forget about what happened with last week's picks as he picks the Week 15 games in the NFL, and looks ahead to the home stretch in the league and a big weekend for New York's two teams.
Scott says there's still work to be done, despite a three-game winning streak that has the Jets holding the AFC's final wild-card spot.
Forget the completion ratio. Forget the hard stats on offense. There's just one number needed to understand about how the Jets' offense is playing these days: 13.
There's a saying that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression, but the Jets are proving that to be just a myth.
"I'm expecting to see his best," said Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
