Jones had what was by far his worst game of the season, to-date.

The offensive line, which has been elite all season, had a very bad game also.

Daniel Jones is at his worst when asked to play hero ball....which he was today.

The Giants often asked him to play hero ball because, well, they sucked.

When he is a part of the offense, he has shown to be good.

When he has to be the focal point of the offense however.

I was not impressed by out offensive plan this game. Too many of our passing plays seemed designed to be much deeper than earlier games in the season. I was dismayed that, especially once we became one dimensional and PIT teed off on pass rush, that there seemed to be a complete lack of quick slants, wheel routes or quick hitters designed to get 6-8 yards and a cloud of dust. Everything seemed to be 15 yards down field slow developing crossing routes.

I totally agree. The other thing that I noticed is that DJ's drop depth wasn't synced up with the pass blocking scheme. Maybe after having a couple of batted ball int's DJ was over compensating with his drop depth?

looks like we will be giving him a big deal this offseason now that we traded away 2 1st round picks

Jones would be crazy to leave, and we would be crazy for letting hims go.

I've said before that I believe that Daniel Jones will do everything that he can to remain with the Colts in 2026 and beyond ....... he caught a lot of shit when he was playing for the New York Giants in the first 7 seasons of his career, and I think that he's smart enough to know that his legacy is more important than a few million dollars one way or the other ...... he made $76 Million while playing for the Giants between 2019 and 2024, and he's getting another $14 Million this season playing for the Colts ...... Jones is a brainiac who originally committed to Princeton and wound up going to Duke, so he presumably has enough wisdom to know that remaining in a situation that is leaps and bounds superior to the one that he was mired in for 7 seasons in New York is more important than a few extra million dollars on the free-agent market.

So in my rat's of an opinion, Jones will be staying with the Colts in 2026 (presuming that the Colts remain on the successful track that they are currently on for the remainder of the 2025 season.)

I think it's going to be a challenging week for Jones. He has to be carrying a pile of baggage with him from the Giants.

It's a challenging week for Steichen, he needs to get his QB back on track, and he needs to get his own shit together. His game plan against the steelers was novel, wasn't working and he just stuck with it.

He has opened, I think almost every game, by being very pass happy for the majority of the 1st half. Maybe he needs to flip the script on that?

I’m still pissed we didn’t get moneymaker when he was available but Danny has been good for us. Hoping last week was an anomaly.
