The trio explores the potential last face-off with Bill Belichick as Patriots head coach, shares insights on coach Robert Saleh, and even dives into Evan's beard saga - a facial hair commitment linked to the Mets re-signing first baseman Pete Alonso.

I was a long haired 17 year old when the Jets won Super Bowl III, 55 years ago next Friday. Now, I’m a bald retiree and one of the few constants in my long life has been this fucking abysmal football team.

[@nizzin91]

I’m 32 right now and confident they will not win anything until at least ownership changes

[@soofitnsexy]

thats fantastic!! hope your other teams are all winners:)

[@madmetfan]

55 and miserable here and ashamed that I made my children fans of this disgraceful team

[@jamesbuckley8917]

I'm 61. I was 6 when they won the SB. I was 48 the last time they were in the playoffs.

[@anthonykology1728]

even the Jews got to promised land after 40 years

[@positive_vibes_2427]

I LOVE JOE BENIGNO! HE IS THE HEART & SOUL OF THE NY JETS!

[@HoHarris2024]

Time for the Jets to simply fold.

[@jamesbuckley8917]

Douglass is 26-56 as a GM. He should be fired Monday.

Douglas

[@Yabadooo12973]

No

[@rstevens1836]

JOE! "Happy friggin new year and what a disgrace!" 😂

[@chrisweidner4768]

Wishing Joe all the best in the off-season. Always enjoy his takes. Yep. We all make mistakes. And yep, we bounce back. Be kind. Always. “This disaster that is our football team.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@londonstackhouse4145]

Love my jets

Yall killing me with that image of a mic in front of Tiki

Totally agree about the Lions Cowboys game

Rex and Justin to the jet's 2024

All THE LOVE OMG

[@acstark0215]

Me too! As a Jets fan, I’d like to see the Browns and Lions in the SB!

[@vincepurdie]

Tyrod Taylor would make a nice backup QB to rogers next season for the Jets.

[@vincepurdie]

@@stevenholmes4324 He's off the juice so he wouldn't be of much use now.

[@tonyalexio5823]

We miss Flacco and the Scrambling Strevler Package 📦 😢!

[@trevorsanso32]

I love how Tomlin having no QBs to work with somehow gives him a pass - as if he's not responsible for them being there to begin with

[@TheodoreRizzo]

Joe is the king

[@lindlesj3358]

Defense is talented but never adjusts to the team they’re playing it’s the same scheme they coach with stubbornness which sometimes blows up!! Offense is always better with no Zach

[@matta6395]

A scheme that doesn’t adjust is a predictable scheme. Not ideal in a sport of adjustments

[@JETFAN4LIFE64]

Stay the course. TANK. Break the streak next year when it means something, Draft pick more important to find a LT to protect Rogers blindside

[@p44r]

Saleh Douglas Hackett Rodgers all back …..A JOKE…hey maybe they can throw it to Cobb or Lazard next year …..yeh ok

[@robertlawson4701]

Zack Wilson brother is dam good

[@scottleavitt5460]

Give tiki some off that extra for his dome

[@slapshot68]

Nxt to last Joe B interview of the season

[@nickc7494]

Joe is the best commentator ever, appreciate that.

[@scipioafricanus1]

Joe smile.😂

[@brianmcnutt3610]

It's so funny that all these guys like benigno and Francesca that retired are now doing podcasts because they can't get away from it

[@MikeinNJ]

Mike likes to hear himself talk, Joe didn’t really wanna retire he just didn’t wanna commute to nyc everyday. They wouldn’t let him do fully remote work

[@chrisyasus8912]

Teek knows his shit..

[@stevenjames1138]

Been a Jets fan for over 40 years. I'm not optimistic about next year. Frankly speaking, I expect things to fall apart somehow followed a complete house cleaning next offseason.

[@conniecarberg6410]

Tua’s brother Taulia entered the transfer portal but not heard if being given extra year

[@dvhughesdesign]

Tiki's fake mic.

[@edwardmascari4661]

Tiki bad mouth Eli when he quit the team. Then they went on to win 2 SuperBowls and 2 MVP’s without the dope!

[@jeffsmith2022]

Quite true, coach Coughlin as well. Everything this clown has was due to the NY Giants investing in him, blow it out your -ss, Tiki...

[@SocialAssasin]

Joe could you let Tiki finish a point or at least let him answer a question that you ask?

[@mtp4430]

Earlier in the season Joe was making excuses for Saleh. I wonder if his change or heart had anything to do with the fact they are no longer golfing/text buddies since Joe revealed those personal texts from Coach? The coach’s come and go anyway. Joe’s a Jets lifer.

[@quinnaguirre5626]

Who’s the genius that would think any other backup QB would have done better?

[@crediblecommenterr]

I can't take it anymore

[@jefffreimauer2249]

I'm confused as to why Tiki has a job. There is absolutely nothing interesting about him

[@stephenrychlenski550]

Jets fan for 50yrs, love Benigno but he's wrong on needing to win this week, a difference maker on OL may go to team drafting ahead of them if they get a W that nobody cares about.

[@Hamden2010]

I’ve been rooting for jets losses so they can get the best lineman in the draft. They ruined that, as usual, by beating Houston and Washington. So screw it. Beat the god damn patriots

[@mattr1100]

Tua brother is transferring not declaring for draft

[@anthonymasella5796]

As much as I hate Belichek and want to hand him potentially his last loss as a head coach and want to end the 15 game losing streak, I think it’s best for us to lose because if we’re able to land a guy a few spots higher in the first round and he’s great then it’s worth it. I say give NE a hard time in the begining go up by 10 and collapse in the second half

[@TL2354]

Belichick. His name is in the title and you still got it wrong.

[@markfrascinella8707]

@@TL2354I don’t blame him, as a jets fan it’s spelled Belicheat or possibly Benedict( resigns as HC for the NYJ on a napkin before he coaches a game) classless

[@izzydizzy1115]

Sadly, we have to suffer through next season with Saleh at the Helm. He stinks!

[@kevincohen251]

Come on Joe B, gotta bring up the Colts being STOLEN from Baltimore in the middle of the night and being without football for 12 years. But, I digress. Go Ravens.

[@jimerrigo7142]

Jets should look at Zach Wilson's brother, hell of a QB

[@yshah7]

Joe is the most negative human being to ever walk the earth.

[@TL2354]

The truth isn’t negative. If you can’t grasp that the. You’re beyond useless

[@Wil-kn8wo]

Coaching is 75% of success...players are a dime a dozen with good scouting

[@quinnaguirre5626]

Jets would have won many more games if it wasn’t for the pathetic OL, alarming rate of penalties and sad offensive coaching

[@joannebies3879]

Like Kenny Roger’s sang… “know when to hold them…. Know when to fold” New York jets fold! If Aaron doesn’t like a new coaching team… F him too

[@Patrick-il4es]

Saleh must have high estrogen levels, that's why the Patriots will win, Belichick's ego is on the line. They both suck as coaches, but Belichick has the edge. Now if Parcells were the Jets coach, now that would be Belichick's worst nightmare. Neither Saleh nor Belichick should remain as a head coach. They both have clearly losing records for the last 3 years,

[@tomperri3693]

Evan could only hope to have a beard anywhere near Justin Turner's

[@edwardmascari4661]

Joe’s an old fool! So happy they won and went 2-14 and lost out on Lawrence. 55 years and they are still terrible without a QB!

[@kevinburke6055]

Evan is the biggest loser. He’s gonna be jealous if Browns make SB? 😂

[@MrJohnnyace777]

They always win meaningless games after the season is over. But Belicheat always beats them

[@TL2354]

Belicheat?! OMG you’re sooooooo clever! How did you ever come up with such an original gem?!

[@cd.cd.cd.cd-cd]

beard's working for Evan he no longer looks like a testosterone-less prepubescent 16 year old may as well keep it

[@jeancantave7782]

Joe you are one of the biggest fraud I lost all respect for you I can’t believe you are giving saleh a break because he is kissing your behind. Todd Bowles was a better guy and coach that guy will ever be and you never gave him a break. This is asinine and unbelievable how saleh is your guy and you can’t call for his job like you did on other Jets head coaches in the past.

[@joesavo5172]

I listen to his podcast, and he has called for Saleh to lose his job. But, Woody has already determined that this regime is coming back next year. What's the point calling for his job when it's not going to happen?
