Just when you thought the Jets-Giants trash talk was done after the Snoopy Bowl last week, Sheldon Richardson had to go and fan the flames.

The Jets defensive end told The Post's Steve Serby the Jets are a better team than the Giants this season despite a loss to Tom Coughlin's squad in Saturday night's preseason tilt.

"If you’re saying if this was a real game and the 1s were out there, I think it would have been a pretty different game. It wouldn’t even be close," he said.

Richardson also provided a harsh review for Giants running back Andre Williams, the rookie who started this whole new chapter to the MetLife Stadium rivalry when he said last week the Giants "are the real New York team."

"He was scared," Richardson said. "I’ve seen him play at Boston College. Didn’t run the same. He was scared, man. He did his thing against the 2s and 3s though, I give him that."

A few more notable quotes from the defensive end:

• When it was pointed out that Eli Manning won two Super Bowl MVPs in his career, Richardson responded, "What does that mean? What-Have-You-Done-For-Me-Lately league, that’s what it’s called."

• On Manning and Ben McAdoo's new offense: "Got some kinks to work out, you can notice that stuff, little stuff like that — it’s to the point where he don’t trust his offensive lines that much, ’cause he’s watching the rush. Little stuff like that. ... Just saying that offense couldn’t handle our defense, period, not just offensive and defensive line."

• There was one Giants player he liked: running back Rashad Jennings. "He was patient," Richardson said. "Let his holes develop. Made us hold our blocks a little bit longer."

We now await a Giants rebuttal in a war of words that's now a week old.
