Bro if the eagles dont make the superbowl after sitting saquon, that team is going to be in shambles. He needs 100 yards against his former team that hasnt been great. Let the man try to go for the legacy
That’s the thing. They play him in the first half and say he gets 60-65. At that point you “eff it go for it” and what started off as just the first half now he’s playing more. Also, he plays then you gotta play your O Line too. Now you’re putting THEM at risk too. I don’t think either decision is wrong but a decision had to be made.
If the Eagles don't make it to the Super Bowl Coach Nick Sirianni Will be FIRED for this move and NOT allowing Barkley to at least go for the record! This was the same thing that happened with Adrian Peterson and the vikings when Peterson had a shot at that record, and what happened? The Vikings lost in the first round! so it was all for NOTHING and they should have allowed Peterson to break the record! it will be the same thing with Barkley and the Eagles! They might get bounced in the first round if Hurts isn't 100% and they don't play perfectly! They had 5 turnovers against the Commanders and still lost!

In most cases yes but in this situation it’s different because everyone knows that he going for the record. I don’t think a lot of people would criticize Sirianni.
There was a video a few weeks back where Siriani asked Saquon in the sidelines if he wanted to go. Saquon said nah im good, let em eat. This means he wants his teammates to get yards as well. Saquon is chill about it.
If records are meant to be broken, holding him back from chasing the rushing record is disrespectful to the game. Nothing in football-or life-is guaranteed. Opportunities like this are rare, and when they arise, you have to grab them. It’s moments like these that define greatness and make the game unforgettable. Playing it safe is against the spirit of competition. I hope they lose in the first round of the playoffs for this nonsense.
Try telling that to an Eagles fan who wants their team to win the Super Bowl and all it takes is one bad tackle to cause an injury to Saquon or any of the offensive lineman playing to ruin their chances in a meaningless game.
screw the first round ...if they hold him back from this and don't win a super bowl then this will be so bad and i think chefs 3 peat so ..this will be so bad
If he tore his ACL chasing the record, the media would be calling the Eagles stupid for playing him. But when they make the decision to not risk injury, they hate it. Make up yall mind. Mad Dog is right
man i wish this could be pinned! cuz thats exactly what everyone would say! the same ppl wanting him to go for it will be the same ppl DESTROYING the Eagles for playing him if he got hurt 💯
Steven is 100% correct. Screwup #1 he took him out in week 17 when Dallas D was cooked, could have gotten 20-40 more yards easy. This is a once in 40 years opportunity. Superbowl is available every year. They will regret this decision. They better win the superbowl.
The Eagles don't have a great track record in winning Superbowls. Acting like it is easy. Records are nice, but he has an extra game and it wouldn't count the same.
I agree with Stephen A saying they should’ve left him in against Dallas. He would’ve gotten at least 20 more yards, or housed one for 50. Then he’d only need to play the first quarter and could sit the rest of the game. As it is now the Giants would’ve stacked 11 in the box to make sure he couldn’t run.
It’s just 100 yds, you know saquon can get that in not even a full half🤦🏽♂️ this isn’t a career record, this isn’t a franchise record, it’s a LEAGUE WIDE RECORD that stood the test of time for decades, nobody will come this close for awhile. You’re not even guaranteed to win the SB, (idek if ppl got the eagles winning it all) plus u can get hurt n injured in practice too so it’s just selfish to NOT let him go for it
Listen. As a RB you will be forgotten and struggle to get paid after you retire. This is an opportunity to set himself for life. Always brought up in conversation, appearances and or interviews because of that record. Recent All time greats have been forgotten like that (Peterson, Elliot, McCoy, Gore, Murray). This is a massive oversight on his part!
As a New York fan, we could've had something very funny happen: Stephen Curry breaking the 3-pointer record against the Knicks (we wanted him, but got the pick after the Warriors), and Saquon breaking the rushing record against the Giants. Steve Kerr even joked that he'd bench Curry before the game. Who knows, they could change their minds
Resting players doesn't guarantee success in the post-season, nor does it prevent injuries in the post-season... Going for a 40-year-old all-time rushing record is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make NFL history. Getting that record cements his legacy in history books, makes him a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, and potentially makes him the league MVP. Getting 101 yards against the Giants' 31st-ranked rush defense would be a piece of cake, especially since the Giants aren't trying to win because they want the top draft pick.
No one is saying force all the starters to play… even tho i bet the o lineman would love to get him that record. Fine, have backup o lineman in the game, if im barkley still just give me a chance.
Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime-players get hurt, that’s life. Many teams get a bye & come out flat in the postseason. Depriving the ENTIRE team of eternal glory!
He can run and put himself in harms way for them but can't play a half for himself? On top of that he could be running for a future generation to get paid what they are worth
Ran him into the ground and had Hurts steal hella 1 yard TDs from him to flex their signature tush push but won’t even give dude at least a half to get the record lol a record that hasn’t been broken in 40 years btw this would’ve been monumental for his legacy. And spare me the 17 game asterisk because it was a 12 game season then 14 then 16 now 17 and likely to be 18, it’s just is what it is. Dickerson broke it in the 15th game when OJ only had 14 games but majority still credit Dickerson as the king. A super bowl is a team accomplishment, but the QB and HC gets a large majority of the credit and memory of the title. Nobody judges RBs, Wrs, OL, etc on rings… if he broke this record it would make him a legend forever
@@halloweentimemachineIt’s always gonna be hard for a RB to win now but that’s would’ve at least boosted his chances a LOT. Literally had drives when Barkley would rush 10+ yards and magically get stopped at the 1 yard line and they wouldn’t even give him a chance at the TD lol
Well if you had actually watched MICED UP moments from Saquan you could have heard that HE WAS CALLING FOR THE BROTHERLY SHOVE, he knows this is the smart move. He knows he can try for the record next year, but the SB odds may be worse then Also if he REALLY wanted it, Sirianni would have let him play
@nothingspecial- you think eagles qb sneak the ball to flex?? Lol not because it's the safest way to gain one or 2 yards? Also a very low chance of losing yards as well. Some of you guys are so fukn lame lol. Mad cuz your team cant/won't do it even though it's a smart play.
@@halloweentimemachine that wouldn't have mattered. He wouldn't have got the MVP anyway because apparently they just HAVE to give it to a quarterback, so please stop it. Y'all keep talking about Hurts taking TD's from him, like it's Hurts fault. Like he calls the games.
I don't understand why people act like him getting the record would make up for not winning a superbowl. Brady broke the passing td record and then Manning broke it a few years later. Nobody brings up the records because all they talk about is how they both lost in the Superbowl that year. No matter what the record is if you don't win the chip it will sadly be forgotten unless someone starts to get close to it. Lifelong eagles fan by the way Go Birds!!
Nobody brings up how erick Dickerson fumbled the game away in nfc title game the year he broke the record, they bring up the record. After several decades, the record is the record and nothing else is remembered
The best summary possible: "I hate it, but I understand it." That's all that needs to be said honestly. It's an impossible position for a coach to be stuck in and ultimately he made the choice with the higher upside for the team as a whole-- which is commendable. Doesn't mean it won't possibly backfire and blow up in his face, because the other side of that coin is that if they don't win (or at least make) the Super Bowl Nick will face the wrath of 10000 suns for not going for the record.

Great point . . . you cannot put Saquon in without the rest of the first team, especially the O-Line. If Saquon plays, they all need to play. Why risk it in a meaningless game? Give your starters the bye week they deserve before the playoffs begin.
This is a major point. Saquan has avoided injury because he is being tacked safely and not from weird angles in the backfield due to a bad o-line. if he plays but other key starters dont then the risk of injury increases. From an organizational point this decision makes the most sense.
@@poling1990 Wait.... we are now saying that the eagles backup players at the Oline position are bad now????? I couldn't sworn Cam Jurgens was Jason Kelce's backup. Fred Johnson, etc had to play because some starters missed time. ..... Didn't miss a beat. 🙄
No disrespect but If you're not an eagles fan your opinion is irrelevant just because if he gets injured and they don't have him for the playoffs yall could care less lol. As a fan of the eagles id love for him tombreak the record but if any offensive linemen or Barkley gets injured in a irrelevant game vs the giants i'd be pissed. He could've briken the record in 16 games if he wasn't giving carries away to "let the other guys eat" and getting benched during blowouts. Regardless I definitely rather win the super bowl versus him breaking the record, its just a shame that he was so close especially knowing would definitely get over 101 yards if he played sunday....
First things first the Super Bowl is definitely not guaranteed but this rushing record that's a no-brainer he can break that in the first half and truth be told you can get hurt at any time during the season so that argument to me is b******* and no I'm not an Eagles fan but I live in South Jersey and the reason why I'm not a Eagles fan even though most of my family is is because the Eagles always f****** choke and truth be told I don't think the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl I don't think the Eagles are going to make it to the Super Bowl this year too much talent in the NFC this year and that's the way I feel about it that's my opinion so they should let Barkley break this record and at least the season would mean f****** something
He was warmed up, starters were in against Dallas. Why take him out with all that time left in the game. Get a many as you can if not break for 101, beat record in 16 games to shut people up or at least only need 20 yards in week 18. Should have left him in last week.

This is SO STUPID!! Saquan is TOO NICE!! I would have told them I want to play!! If I was his teammate, I would tell management to let him play!! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Stephen A is right about the running back position be under appreciated and underpaid. Why isn’t Saquon Barkley name being mentioned in the mvp category. Running back take more hits than any other position and are the ones who move the ball if the qb is struggling.
General fumble by the organization for a guy who carried the team all year. If you want to reward him, let him try. Otherwise this puts an immense amount of pressure on the team to make up for this sacrafice
Stephen A. is 100% right. Saquon has put in the work and sacrificed a total class act. He's earned the right to go for the record. Nick Sirianni should of split the difference and gave him at least a half. This is a BIG deal. He can't win MVP because he's a running back. He gave up a chance earlier in the season to break a personal record but let the other backs eat. This is a huge deal and I guarantee you the vast majority of Philly fans want Saquon to beat that record for him and the team.
The football gods literally want this to happen. He’s literally playing the Giants and he needs 101 yards to get the record on the last game of the season and they sat him🤣🤣
As bad as i hate to say this, i hope Eagles pass game sucks so they'll have to let Saquon EAT!! Beat that record against your former team and its at your House!! Lets Gooooo!!💯
I understand the reason for sitting Saquon, I would also understand the reason for playing Saquon. The coach should just get the O Line and Saquon in a room and say "what do yall wanna do"? Thats the best option in my opinion.
alot of people are forgetting. Terrel Davis holds the record for most rushing yards in a season adding the post season with 2,476 yards. They go to the SuperBowl win and break TD's record this is an all-time great season.
@@jorgesantiago6969 The record would be a great accomplishment by Saquon, but also a huge credit to the Eagles' offensive line! It would be their record too. I think the Eagles should gave given Saquon at least a half to see what ge could do. The Giants stink. A half is all he would need.
Stephen is 100% spot on!!!! Why??? Because his mother didn’t raise a quitter! You dont play the game for fear of getting hurt! This is akin to Simone Biles shutting down, or Aaron Rodgers for saving himself for the regular season, or the moron Giants sitting out Jones so he wouldn’t get hurt and fetch more money!

If Saquon broke an ankle or tore a ligament, then fans and Stephen A and folks in the media would be killing Sirianni. No-win situation
How about he’s rusty in two weeks
In most cases yes but in this situation it’s different because everyone knows that he going for the record. I don’t think a lot of people would criticize Sirianni.
@henry-saquon wasn't rusty in week 1.
@@henry7765how does a running back get rusty lol he def. won’t lose his wind in 2 weeks
@@henry7765 who gets rusty after a bye week when they have played 12 straight weeks before?
There was a video a few weeks back where Siriani asked Saquon in the sidelines if he wanted to go. Saquon said nah im good, let em eat. This means he wants his teammates to get yards as well. Saquon is chill about it.
A coach's main job is to motivate players. Think how much harder saquon would go to win the record AND the superbowl
If the eagles get bounced early, this would be another bad look for Siriani
true ...and he can still beat ED's playoff game rushing record ...Go for it !
If records are meant to be broken, holding him back from chasing the rushing record is disrespectful to the game. Nothing in football-or life-is guaranteed. Opportunities like this are rare, and when they arise, you have to grab them. It’s moments like these that define greatness and make the game unforgettable. Playing it safe is against the spirit of competition.
I hope they lose in the first round of the playoffs for this nonsense.
The record doesn’t mean as much as the playoffs
Try telling that to an Eagles fan who wants their team to win the Super Bowl and all it takes is one bad tackle to cause an injury to Saquon or any of the offensive lineman playing to ruin their chances in a meaningless game.
An an eagles fan i think they are going to choke @ethanschuman3314
screw the first round ...if they hold him back from this and don't win a super bowl then this will be so bad and i think chefs 3 peat so ..this will be so bad
He had 16 games to do it. Not 17
If Saquon straight up told Sirianni that he wants a shot at breaking the record. Sirianni would be all for it
Facts
yeah, Saquon needs to speak up if he really wants it.
Ultimately it doesn't matter and Saquan knows it. Everything in his demeanor says he wants to play but the organization will look out for itself.
He did
@tappedndaily2321 agreed he needs to do what Brown did make his voice heard Barkley knows he will eventually regret not going for it
If he tore his ACL chasing the record, the media would be calling the Eagles stupid for playing him. But when they make the decision to not risk injury, they hate it. Make up yall mind. Mad Dog is right
Mad dog is wrong and he knows he is wrong. Eagles won’t be stupid for playing they’re stupid for not let that man be selfish he has earned it.
The only problem with that argument is that injuries occur everywhere, even in practice.
man i wish this could be pinned! cuz thats exactly what everyone would say! the same ppl wanting him to go for it will be the same ppl DESTROYING the Eagles for playing him if he got hurt 💯
What do you say to him when they don’t win a sb this year and he missed a chance at history forever?
That's the way of the world unfortunately
Steven is 100% correct. Screwup #1 he took him out in week 17 when Dallas D was cooked, could have gotten 20-40 more yards easy. This is a once in 40 years opportunity. Superbowl is available every year. They will regret this decision. They better win the superbowl.
The Eagles don't have a great track record in winning Superbowls. Acting like it is easy. Records are nice, but he has an extra game and it wouldn't count the same.
@chazzx1018 jim brown had 12 games so we should just drop all other records?
@Astro2024 does change the record's meaning.
There's a pattern with the people ok with sitting Saquon. 🤐
White
Mad Dog spot on wrong as usual 🤣
Why is he even on the show?! His are terrible and add 0 value
@@TheLordPytarlmao he hasn't been on the radio for decades for no reason he is hilarious...wrong but hilarious
I agree with Stephen A saying they should’ve left him in against Dallas. He would’ve gotten at least 20 more yards, or housed one for 50. Then he’d only need to play the first quarter and could sit the rest of the game. As it is now the Giants would’ve stacked 11 in the box to make sure he couldn’t run.
It’s just 100 yds, you know saquon can get that in not even a full half🤦🏽♂️ this isn’t a career record, this isn’t a franchise record, it’s a LEAGUE WIDE RECORD that stood the test of time for decades, nobody will come this close for awhile. You’re not even guaranteed to win the SB, (idek if ppl got the eagles winning it all) plus u can get hurt n injured in practice too so it’s just selfish to NOT let him go for it
Yeah with an extra game bruh that’s cheating
@ he had less carries in a season than Eric Dickerson, plus it’s amazing that he was able to even stay healthy for 18 games, it’s not cheating.
@@thefpvlife7785 and Dickerson had 2 extra games... what's your point
Agreed, this is a chance to become a legend
Totally agree WTF are the eagles thinking about this is a 40 Year Old RECORD
Saquon is a class act. He’s earned the record
very classy man
Listen. As a RB you will be forgotten and struggle to get paid after you retire. This is an opportunity to set himself for life. Always brought up in conversation, appearances and or interviews because of that record. Recent All time greats have been forgotten like that (Peterson, Elliot, McCoy, Gore, Murray). This is a massive oversight on his part!
As a New York fan, we could've had something very funny happen: Stephen Curry breaking the 3-pointer record against the Knicks (we wanted him, but got the pick after the Warriors), and Saquon breaking the rushing record against the Giants. Steve Kerr even joked that he'd bench Curry before the game. Who knows, they could change their minds
You talking about basketball records over playing in the NFL is tougher than basketball
Any remember the O line may need a rest too....absolutely ridiculous to think it only involves Barkley if he plays
Eagles have amazing backups that played all year, they could still rest Lane, and pop Fred Johnson and Steen in. Not much fall-off
Resting players doesn't guarantee success in the post-season, nor does it prevent injuries in the post-season... Going for a 40-year-old all-time rushing record is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make NFL history. Getting that record cements his legacy in history books, makes him a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, and potentially makes him the league MVP. Getting 101 yards against the Giants' 31st-ranked rush defense would be a piece of cake, especially since the Giants aren't trying to win because they want the top draft pick.
Irrelevant point, the O-line wants to get Barkley the record
No one is saying force all the starters to play… even tho i bet the o lineman would love to get him that record. Fine, have backup o lineman in the game, if im barkley still just give me a chance.
Pretty sure the starting o-line want it just as bad… idiot
Watching the Jets suffer after prematurely firing Saleh is the best kama in the world for them
I'm a Jets longest playoff drought in all 4 sports
Lmao defense is worse and he won more games with Zach Wilson...Rodgers was the problem
The defense this year is worst. Idk how can you say last year defense is worst when they stopped the top offenses like The eagles, Chiefs etc.
@@rainbowhouse3427 they fired their defensive minded coach lol
Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime-players get hurt, that’s life. Many teams get a bye & come out flat in the postseason. Depriving the ENTIRE team of eternal glory!
Thank you Mad Dog🙏
He can run and put himself in harms way for them but can't play a half for himself? On top of that he could be running for a future generation to get paid what they are worth
lol…no
Saquon either telling a lie or the coach
Ran him into the ground and had Hurts steal hella 1 yard TDs from him to flex their signature tush push but won’t even give dude at least a half to get the record lol a record that hasn’t been broken in 40 years btw this would’ve been monumental for his legacy. And spare me the 17 game asterisk because it was a 12 game season then 14 then 16 now 17 and likely to be 18, it’s just is what it is. Dickerson broke it in the 15th game when OJ only had 14 games but majority still credit Dickerson as the king. A super bowl is a team accomplishment, but the QB and HC gets a large majority of the credit and memory of the title. Nobody judges RBs, Wrs, OL, etc on rings… if he broke this record it would make him a legend forever
IMO Saquon would have won the mvp if they hadn’t vultured all of those TDs to Hurts
@@halloweentimemachineIt’s always gonna be hard for a RB to win now but that’s would’ve at least boosted his chances a LOT. Literally had drives when Barkley would rush 10+ yards and magically get stopped at the 1 yard line and they wouldn’t even give him a chance at the TD lol
Well if you had actually watched MICED UP moments from Saquan you could have heard that HE WAS CALLING FOR THE BROTHERLY SHOVE, he knows this is the smart move. He knows he can try for the record next year, but the SB odds may be worse then
Also if he REALLY wanted it, Sirianni would have let him play
@nothingspecial- you think eagles qb sneak the ball to flex?? Lol not because it's the safest way to gain one or 2 yards? Also a very low chance of losing yards as well. Some of you guys are so fukn lame lol. Mad cuz your team cant/won't do it even though it's a smart play.
@@halloweentimemachine that wouldn't have mattered. He wouldn't have got the MVP anyway because apparently they just HAVE to give it to a quarterback, so please stop it. Y'all keep talking about Hurts taking TD's from him, like it's Hurts fault. Like he calls the games.
i love Maddog 😂😂
I don't understand why people act like him getting the record would make up for not winning a superbowl. Brady broke the passing td record and then Manning broke it a few years later. Nobody brings up the records because all they talk about is how they both lost in the Superbowl that year. No matter what the record is if you don't win the chip it will sadly be forgotten unless someone starts to get close to it. Lifelong eagles fan by the way Go Birds!!
Nobody brings up how erick Dickerson fumbled the game away in nfc title game the year he broke the record, they bring up the record. After several decades, the record is the record and nothing else is remembered
The best summary possible:
"I hate it, but I understand it."
That's all that needs to be said honestly. It's an impossible position for a coach to be stuck in and ultimately he made the choice with the higher upside for the team as a whole-- which is commendable. Doesn't mean it won't possibly backfire and blow up in his face, because the other side of that coin is that if they don't win (or at least make) the Super Bowl Nick will face the wrath of 10000 suns for not going for the record.
You also might be dealing with a player who is now disgruntled because he was pressured out of a once in a life time opportunity
Great point
@@ahastar1141They keep glossing over this. You want your players in peak condition physically but also mentally entering the playoffs. No reason to have this looming over him.

Sorry you taking what Parsons is on. The game is in PHILLY no NY/NJ. He already rack up 176 yards in the Giant in Giants stadium this season.😅🤣
@hamhockbeans what i meant was they didn't want the record to be broken on them.
Eagles better win the Super Bowl if he sits out!!! If not this will be talked about for the rest of NFL history 🤦♂️
Oh birds are going to rest the starters until the SB. You know so they don't get hurt.
How often do these players get to break a record? Now if they get bounced out the first game then people will say well dam so much for resting players
From what I'm hearing the Eagles may be do an about face and play him... stay tuned...
Sad shame what anyone other than a QB has to do to seriously be considered, worthy of winning the MVP award= SMH 🏈😡💯
Past few shows have been great not having to hear Molly interrupt and talk the whole time. Sad to see it come to an end
Great point . . . you cannot put Saquon in without the rest of the first team, especially the O-Line. If Saquon plays, they all need to play. Why risk it in a meaningless game? Give your starters the bye week they deserve before the playoffs begin.
This is a major point. Saquan has avoided injury because he is being tacked safely and not from weird angles in the backfield due to a bad o-line. if he plays but other key starters dont then the risk of injury increases. From an organizational point this decision makes the most sense.
@@poling1990 Wait.... we are now saying that the eagles backup players at the Oline position are bad now????? I couldn't sworn Cam Jurgens was Jason Kelce's backup. Fred Johnson, etc had to play because some starters missed time. ..... Didn't miss a beat. 🙄
The O Line has voiced their opinion and majority have said they want this for him. This means alot to them too.
Man this crazy I would play
Tomorrow is not promised. Gather all the little team morale builders you can gather along the way.
No disrespect but If you're not an eagles fan your opinion is irrelevant just because if he gets injured and they don't have him for the playoffs yall could care less lol. As a fan of the eagles id love for him tombreak the record but if any offensive linemen or Barkley gets injured in a irrelevant game vs the giants i'd be pissed. He could've briken the record in 16 games if he wasn't giving carries away to "let the other guys eat" and getting benched during blowouts. Regardless I definitely rather win the super bowl versus him breaking the record, its just a shame that he was so close especially knowing would definitely get over 101 yards if he played sunday....
First things first the Super Bowl is definitely not guaranteed but this rushing record that's a no-brainer he can break that in the first half and truth be told you can get hurt at any time during the season so that argument to me is b******* and no I'm not an Eagles fan but I live in South Jersey and the reason why I'm not a Eagles fan even though most of my family is is because the Eagles always f****** choke and truth be told I don't think the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl I don't think the Eagles are going to make it to the Super Bowl this year too much talent in the NFC this year and that's the way I feel about it that's my opinion so they should let Barkley break this record and at least the season would mean f****** something
I hope they go out in the First round
Did you see Steven A face when maddog said who cares about the record 😂😂😂😂 memorable
I love MAD DOGG😂
This is a record you should go for. No guarantee you even make it to or win the Super Bowl. Give it a go in the first half and see how close you get
He was warmed up, starters were in against Dallas. Why take him out with all that time left in the game. Get a many as you can if not break for 101, beat record in 16 games to shut people up or at least only need 20 yards in week 18. Should have left him in last week.
@@saleen313exactly he could've easily got another 50-60 against Dallas and now he plays a quarter then u sit him and everyone wins

He has another record Barkley could break in the playoffs. All he needs is 249 yards for the all time playoff yards in a game by Dickerson which was 248. Barkley could have three chances to do it.
Naaah ED in 16. Then add ED avg for a 17th game bruh
@@thefpvlife7785 that argument doesnt work because before ED had the record, it was OJ and he did it in a 14 game season. also Saquon has less carriers than ED when he broke the record

I’m just waiting on them to lose the first playoff game 😂😂😂
A player can be injured any time. If I am Sequon and I can break this record in the first half. That’s what I’ll do. This is a chance at history. Philly isn’t going to the Super Bowl.
the only team that could beat them in the nfc is the lions and itll be a very close game. and do u see how detroits defense has been playing? dont be surprised if philly drops 40 on them
You don't know that. Get that hate out of your head. Eagles have just as good of a chance to reach the super bowl as any other top team.
Don’t hold your breath
@ I am not. I was very confident in my statement that Philly IS NOT going to the Superbowl.
Sitting saquon is the craziest thing you can do right now he already is the best rb in the NFL right now and has been phenomenal all season for the eagles this is crazy

Stephen A is right about the running back position be under appreciated and underpaid. Why isn’t Saquon Barkley name being mentioned in the mvp category. Running back take more hits than any other position and are the ones who move the ball if the qb is struggling.
When the worst person you know makes a good point. 🤣🤣🤣
Not only is it the wrong decision to bench him, it’s the IMMORAL decision. He’s carried the team 16 games and you can’t give him 1?
Amen...amen
General fumble by the organization for a guy who carried the team all year. If you want to reward him, let him try. Otherwise this puts an immense amount of pressure on the team to make up for this sacrafice
One of the most stupid decisions in sports the past year. GO FOR THE RECORD! ITS EPIC! WTF
Stephen A.
is 100% right. Saquon has put in the work and sacrificed a total class act. He's earned the right to go for the record. Nick Sirianni should of split the difference and gave him at least a half. This is a BIG deal. He can't win MVP because he's a running back. He gave up a chance earlier in the season to break a personal record but let the other backs eat. This is a huge deal and I guarantee you the vast majority of Philly fans want Saquon to beat that record for him and the team.
4:13 his face says it all 😂
The football gods literally want this to happen. He’s literally playing the Giants and he needs 101 yards to get the record on the last game of the season and they sat him🤣🤣
KEEP SHAE
To ESPN 😊 have good year.😊
As bad as i hate to say this, i hope Eagles pass game sucks so they'll have to let Saquon EAT!! Beat that record against your former team and its at your House!! Lets Gooooo!!💯
Ask all the other 8 Saquon, this opportunity only comes knocking once in a back career.
Mad Dog is smokin something. They should have let him run for it. He may not care, but if he were a running back, he would 😂
Understand the cautiousness of injury, but man... go for that record!
Molly & SAS was absolutely disgusted with MadDog LOL!!
Breaks my heart.....
I understand the reason for sitting Saquon, I would also understand the reason for playing Saquon. The coach should just get the O Line and Saquon in a room and say "what do yall wanna do"? Thats the best option in my opinion.
Why did they cut SAS response? I wanted to hear what he said
If Saqan doesn't play and they dont make the Super Bowl, the ciach needs to be fired
Thank you!!!! I didn't understand them pulling him in the game either after he went 2k. It would be way less if they didn't smh
Let’s just remember he literally said the coach asked him 1st and he didn’t take that chance he put his team 1st which is respectable
alot of people are forgetting. Terrel Davis holds the record for most rushing yards in a season adding the post season with 2,476 yards. They go to the SuperBowl win and break TD's record this is an all-time great season.
Our backup offensive line are starters on most teams. He would actually be fine. Can't sit everyone oneway.
If Saquon would have played, you better believe the starting offensive line would want to play to be apart of that history.
@Benzy-d3u you would think but Lane didn't sound like he cares about a record.
@@jorgesantiago6969 The record would be a great accomplishment by Saquon, but also a huge credit to the Eagles' offensive line! It would be their record too. I think the Eagles should gave given Saquon at least a half to see what ge could do. The Giants stink. A half is all he would need.
Where's the people who were saying Saquan getting the record against the Giants was part of "the script?" 😂😂
That's 2 million extra dollars in my pocket HECK YES I WANT THE RECORD 😂😂😂
"McCoffee"from Minnesota 😆🤣
Eric Dickerson's payment to the Eagles coach went through lol😂
Stephen is 100% spot on!!!! Why??? Because his mother didn’t raise a quitter! You dont play the game for fear of getting hurt! This is akin to Simone Biles shutting down, or Aaron Rodgers for saving himself for the regular season, or the moron Giants sitting out Jones so he wouldn’t get hurt and fetch more money! And then we wonder why these mega millionaire players turn out to be spoiled primadonnas! Lou Gehrig is turning in his grave right now as is Vince Lombardi.
As an eagles fan I’d love to see him do it. However it shows our focus. We trying to get this RING. As long as this offensive line and saquon stays healthy I don’t believe this will be his last time to get a shot at it.
Saquon isn’t an HOF RB without that record. It’s that sinple
