Stay humble, be a good person, grind, and focus on your next step not the last - I look at the places I’ve been told no vs. the places I’ve been told yes, and I couldn’t be more happy with the way things have turned out.

Honestly. I have a hard time thinking any offensive coordinator, but especially one who has played QB in the NFL, drew this up for second down, and it’s not a Hail Mary. Look at all that unused space on a play that Daniels clearly wasn’t thinking run as a primary option. Think it’s far more likely 1-3 of these guys are in the wrong place. Just the way they’re all running, seems almost like each guy thought they were the clearout.

Landed at Dulles, hit up the WaWa, and haven’t had to cuss out any drivers yet. Good to be home.

Stefon Diggs on why he didn’t celebrate his touchdown against the 49ers: “I was never gonna celebrate. I mean, we down, you know, what you celebrating?” “We down, we fighting our way back right now. Just focus on the next play.”

Yeah. It’s all lining up. And Jayden did address his throwing the ball away in his answer when asked about if he thought it was third down. “No, I just gotta execute better in that situation, regardless of a flag or not. You know, fourth down, we gotta—don’t die with the ball and stuff like that. So just be better. I have to be better, you know, in that spot.” Daniels also said he did see the flag get thrown. “I did. I did know. I didn’t know what. It could have been offsides. It could have been on us. You know, I’m not really into that type of stuff, you know?”

This is a great question

And a +2 turnover margin and only three points surrendered in the second half.

The clock was running. If I’m right, and I’m on an airplane so my research is mostly - ‘I believe’ oriented - the rule rule @reshmanuel is talking about applies after the two-minute warning, with a running clock. In that scenario, an illegal shift becomes a false start. And is not a declinable penalty. Outside that, an illegal shift is a live-ball foul - which is why they let the play run, even though the movement happens before the snap. That’s why the play continued and San Francisco could decline the penalty. But the fact that it’s not always the case makes it simply human to think for a fleeting moment that maybe you’re getting fourth down back. Especially if that person in DQ’s ear here is not an NFL head coach, but say, someone whose job it is to crunch the analytics on go for it or kick.

Jayden Daniels after the Commanders’ 23-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday night: “Competing only goes so far in this league. You gotta do whatever it takes to win the game, and we didn’t win.” Washington heads into its bye week at 1-4-1.
