Welcome back. It's the Big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. Joined is always my co-ist, Nick Falado. Tonight we're coming to one of the first big post-mortem.

before we get into the game, I do want to like pull it back here and keep things in perspective,

Nick, because I see a lot of doom and gloom on Twitter right now in my DMs,

in the replies. And I understand it. If I was a fan, I am a fan. Right now, it was tough to leave today
