Thought Sark did an absolutely great job with play calling and the timeouts on the final drive.
Also was impressed by him taking a knee on the totally unnecessary 2-point conversion.

This was the most interesting coaching decision of the Giants game. I have to admit, in the moment, I slightly preferred the Giants to punt -- primarily because Stout has been fantastic. With hindsight, I think going for it was better. 5 yards to win the game. Risk wasn't huge.
---> WAS (17) @ NYG (21) <---
NYG has 4th & 5 at the WAS 41, Q4 01:54
Recommendation: 🤷 Toss-up (+0.1 WP)
Actual play: 🏈🦵 15-J.Stout punts 12 yards to WAS 29, Center-58-B.Mann, out of bounds.

I basically like Harbaugh. But this is a ridiculous answer. You can't run a quick slant against a zero blitz? Since when? They needed ~7 yards for a fg attempt. You can do a draw, as well, especially on 2nd down.
John Harbaugh on the last two throws by J.J. McCarthy:
"Zero blitzes and those are the routes that end up getting run"

Each one of these things led to a dumb loss in a pretty direct way:
- Missed 33 yd fg
- Nabers fumble
- Johnson drop 1d
- No helmet-to-helmet penalty
- No 1d on Winston sneak.
- No 1d on McCarthy run.
- Punting rather than 4-5 attempt (1d ends game)
- Brutal 2d/3d calls last drive

Skattebo is good. That said, why would you wear a loose jersey and undershirt? Running backs should basically wear scuba outfits.

In addition to the clueless Colts, the Jets also embarrassed themselves at the Trade Deadline. Not saying Garrett Wilson needed to be dealt, but they certainly had other guys, most obviously Geno Smith and Will McDonald, who had real value.

There is a 0.0% chance the Colts will get a better offer for Jonathan Taylor in the offseason than they would have today. He'll have more miles on his legs and 2 years of control instead of 3.
As for Daniel Jones, nothing about what they've done with him has ever made sense.

As Mel Kiper once said, this is why the Colts are the Colts.
The Colts won’t trade star RB Jonathan Taylor by today’s deadline, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor. But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. Instead, Taylor stays in Indy.

Weird. (Not the reporting, but the Colts’ strategy).
And by weird, I really mean “nonsensical.”
On the Colts + the trade deadline:
At THIS moment, I believe it would take a significant shift for either Jonathan Taylor or Daniel Jones to end up being traded today.
This is NOT a prediction. Things can change. But this is my understanding entering the final hours.

This might be the wrong way to think, but here’s where I am:
If Giants are truly willing to give up a 2nd and a 5th for Jonathan Taylor, I’d probably just cave on a 1st round pick (nothing more).
The difference between a 1st vs. a 2 AND 5 isn’t terribly significant.

I think I'd make delay of game a 10-yard penalty. It's getting a bit dumb with how often teams are clearly not running a play. Don't find it that interesting.

The bizarre approach the Colts take to decisions is low-key fascinating. They should be doing literally anything possible to get out of Daniel Jones’ contract.
The Colts informed QB Daniel Jones on Saturday they’re not trading him by Tuesday’s deadline, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Teams called and the Colts listened. But they never had any intention of moving him. Despite speculation, Jones is staying in Indy.
