Everyone who is b*tching about the freakin defense do you realize a GIGANTIC 350lb run stuffing DT was out of the lineup tonight?? Maake is our best run stopper and it definitely showed tonight. He should be rested up and ready to go at least by playoff time so all the nay-sayers need to take a step back, relax, and realize that not having Kemo (or Lewis for the 4th quarter) was a HUGE loss and when he comes back our D will be back to normal.

Side note tho...the PI call on Lucas was BULLSHIT. How do you get an interference call when you are looking at the ball THE ENTIRE WAY into the receivers path of reception. That call absolutely blew my mind and I think that the refs just thought that they had let the game be too physical and decided to blow their load all over one call.

Yes and yes.

There were two plays that squeaked the game out in favor of the Giants IMHO. That BS PI call ... no way that's PI, first because of what you said and second because there was a lot of contact by both receiver and defender on the play. It should have been a no-call.

The other was that bad, silly, horrible hold by Smitty. I love the man, he was a thorn for the Giants all night long, but that obvious hold that turned a first down where we were driving for the winning score just knifed us there. He knows better. It was really the only bad mistake anyone on the team made all night. I hope he uses that situation like he usually does ... to motivate him to perform better going forward.

Kemo would not have prevented what they did. Thems the facts. They still would have rushed for over 200 yards. They did what WE do...run the ball damn well behind a damn good O-Line.

I'm hoping for a rematch.

I don't agree with that...

They had Johnson lined up at DT on Wards huge run during their second possession of overtime. He was lined up in a 3 technique and got absolutely blown off the ball by about 6 yards which left the wide open hole that Ward ran through.

They wouldn't have done that to Kemo. With Kemo, I think this game is different.

What meltdown? The defense played like sh*t and deserve to be called out on it. One guy doesnt cause a total collapse of the defense. If it does, we might as well pack it in right now 'cause there will be no Super Bowl for us.

It's not ONE guy...but he was a huge factor. There were things we could have done differently. But Kemo being out, Lewish getting hurt, and then the next best backup playing with a broken hand? I mean...how can you overlook that and pin it on the secondary? Get real..

is he why we missed tackles, or why 2 or 3 guys all tried to hit the same gap (wards big run up the gut in OT). how does maake stop that? we missed tackles yet again and got out of position by getting into the wrong gaps. him out hurt it the giants line getting a good surge, but cant make up for the big runs that ward had, not at all.

    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
    • The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
