Our DL got thrashed in the running game and had no pressure up the middle. I don't mean to imply that people thought he was bad but I think his absence yesterday showed he's clearly our best D lineman and contributes so much more to both the run and pass defense than I gave him credit for. I think without him in the first 2 games Henry and McCaffrey might have had much bigger games.
The Gettleman factor made many fans sour on him from the jump.
I would concur with that, they might miss him more in the run game I think.

The Dave factor is a huge part of it. This was one of very few good moves. He immediately improved the run D when he came here and has gotten better each year. Big part of the future imv.
Again, both can be true
If both are playing healthy, I like us at around .500 even with all the other bullshit that's wrong with the team. Without them, probably 5 wins.
I just don't think heading into the game it was such a big talking point about him being out. It was much more focused on the OLine and lack of weapons on offense (which proved correct), but I sure as hell did't expect to get nothing out of the DLine without him in the game. Maybe those were my own expectations. Not an argument or accusation to anyone here, simply my post game thinking
Agreed. If he had played, Giants would have won IMHO.
What? Because Reese is so popular on BBI?
I hope they can extend him
If BJ Hill and Dalvin Tomlinson can get $10-11M per year, Leo would get near $20M.
