Positive thoughts on it being closer than expected.

[Captain Lemming]

They go into bye knowing they aren't there yet. That tackling was atrocious.

I know our history gives us confidence against the Ravens, but with Henry looking like his prime self, along with Lamar, we need to work on our run D.

And offense needs to work on scoring TDs when we have red zone opportunities

We covered the spread, so the game wasn't as close as Vegas expected.

I would suggest with two touchdowns called back it was an anomaly. Frankly, positive takeaway is that is the best kind of red zone fail.

I think we have to out score the Ravens. After tonight I don't think we can stop them. We have to get by the Redskins. Our schedule is brutal.

I was disappointed in our run defense or lack of it. The Giants were opening up holes. They seemed to have figured out our D and that's concerning.

Queen is a liability
Jones isn’t much better
Van Jefferson might be a solid addition
Austin needs more touches
JPJ isn’t good in zone
3rd down pass D is a problem
Najee and Warren are a nice combo
Russ been in the kitchen
Watt is a beast
Highsmith as well
Danny Smith might be our best coach.
Tomlin needs to give up the challenge flag
2 or 3 plays and we could’ve been 8-0
Tomlin and Khan look like geniuses

Roberts needs to be on the field in base. Queen and Wilson have excellent athleticism and are nice in coverage but Roberts can shed blockers to make tackles.

Since he has started Russel Wilson has had no problem with the offense produing big plays and a lot of points. Having a real QB opens up the offense.

Yes -- Tomlin needs to give up the Red flag, and let Art Smith cook! Tomlin is too conservative.

I pretty much agree on all points.

Roberts should be on the field for running downs and the DC guessing when they are running it which I will define as 3rd and short and Jumbo sets. He is a poor coverage guy.

This team can win a playoff game at home, I think that is the path. Winning the division is imperative.

This has always been the case IMO.

Winning a road game in WV weekend will be very hard in the AFC because this is where the best QBs are. Especially as the 6th or 7th seed.

This game could very well have looked a lot different if the Giants offense wasn't so inept at times, i.e. 9 offensive penalties, and at key moments. The two pt conversion was laughable. A couple of delay of games, a couple of illegal shifts and illegal formations and they ended up with 3rd and longs, and still completed a few.

Yes, I questioned going for 2 points at that juncture. Get 7 and extend the game to 1 possession. Not the call I would have made.

The refs were in our favor more than once. At the same time, we could have easily had 14 points early on rather than 6. The way both teams were moving the ball in the first half, this game could have been a shootout.

The main thing that caused me concern is the way we allowed Jones to carve us up on third and whatever, which seems to be a thing with this defense. Whatever we're doing on 3rd down, we should stop it. We have a lot better QBs to face coming up.

A lot of points left on the field by both teams.

Glad the good guys won though.

Hope we can come out of the bye healthy.

Sutton should be back too, right? Although I don't know if he's technically been reinstated. And I think Goodell can ultimately do whatever he wants.
