Saqon is finally getting the NFL treatment to what we all knew before. Pat McAfee...
The second he broke into the clear on the first of the long TDs, you can see AJ escorting him for a bit then falling behind and yapping at a Ram defender trying to chase. It was pretty funny
Saquon is one of those rare guys who is just as dominant in the NFL as he was in college. And the Eagles need to bring these uniforms back. Both are awesome.
The Eagles OL is really playing well, just starting to hit their potential. If they and Barkley stay healthy, this will be one of the great running back seasons in NFL history. And the cool thing is, he doesn't really care about that, all he wants is to play in a SB.
I think Hurts was grinning because he was amazed at Barkley’s abilities. Kind of like a proud dad watching his son hit another of many home runs.
Did anyone ever interview the defender that Saquon did the Barkley Flop over? Would interesting to hear his perspective .
That's gotta be the team RB stats only right? No way their WRs only have 31 catches with Nabors there who has been really good.
Nothing but gratitude for the Giants execs for letting Barkley go. They never should have drafted him the first place -- it was like acquiring Secretariat and using him to pull a manure wagon. So glad he was able to escape and find a team that can give him the opportunities the Eagles give him.
Numbers shouldn’t matter. See Gale Sayers. You can clearly see that he is one of the best backs of his era. He does things most others cannot do and he has time to do more. Hope he does not get hurt because he is one of the best ever.
Saquon with 124 today (1623 on season). 9th 100 yard game this season and he shatters Shady McCoy’s team rushing record in game 13. Shady was a shit bird so I’m glad Saquon has the record now
Did you mean a "pitt bird"? Pitt again plays second fiddle to Penn State
Saquon over 100 in 1st Q against the Commanders. Just broke a 68 yarder.
Saquon on record watch after a big 2nd half. He’s at 2005 and he’s likely done for the day with 10 min left. Needs 101 for the record against the Gints

Corrected it - 101 to pass him.
With the Cowboys D tenderized, I’d like to see one more possession for them to eat into the deficit
I agree. Then Barkley might be able to sit the 2nd half next week.
Are they really going to play him next week? Can you imagine the backlash in Philadelphia if he gets hurt?
It’s against the Giants. Everyone will go crazy when he gets the record against them.
I'd love to see him play next week and grab the record. But for him to get 101, he needs the first team O, or most of it, to be playing, and that is a risk to be playing all those guys. So, hopefully he gets the first half to gauge if he can do it. It is after all the NY football Giants, and a GM that totally disrespected him. It would be poetic justice to see him get the record in this game.
I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread, but the NFL seems to be ignoring the additional game that has been added to the season when discussing the setting of new records.
For those that do not know and to add perspective to his accomplishment, OJ Simpson ran for 2003 yards in only a 14 game season.
And while it definitely does not detract from what Saquan has achieved in his MVP caliber season this year, it should be noted accordingly IMHO.
I read an article about the previous 2000 yard rushers in the NFL. It stated that all of the previous players who achieved 2000 yards did so in 16 games.
I guess the author and their editor were just as aware as Dickerson.
IIRC, all of Jim Brown's seasonal rushing totals for the Browns in the 1960's were achieved in only 12 games.
lol. Good article and editor.
OJ had the best season of all time. 2003 yards in 14 games and NFL record 143 YPG. Even Jim Brown didn’t pull that one off.
Dickerson has already been vocal about the 17 games….ignoring OJ and ignoring the fact he did not cross 2000 until the 16th game. He had about 1850 after game 14. While we can agree the stats get a bit diluted by extra games, Dickerson is more than a bit disingenuous by whining about it.
Chicken Man pointed out that Saquon’s yards per carry is higher than Dickerson’s anyway.
Barkley has fewer carries than Dickerson. The number of games played is not necessarily the holy statistic to live by here. Saquon has more yards per carry.
I think the Giants would be impacted more if Saquon won the Super Bowl than set the record. It would be an indictment of their whole organization.
Ah. And OJ was 6.0 in that year.
Saquon is an absolute monster.
Sorry, an absolute fast monster.
No matter what happens next week Saquon has already put himself on an elite NFL list being a 2000 yd rusher.Ah. And OJ was 6.0 in that year.
Saquon is an absolute monster.
Sorry, an absolute fast monster.
Just glad a generational back is getting a chance to truly show how great he is.
Hopefully he stays healthy for the next few years and gets a shot at Super Bowls and a Gold Jacket
