If he doesn’t play….and the Eagles get bounced in the first round….he’ll regret that decision for the rest of his life. Let him play, he can still do both
What he'll regret for the rest of his life is getting himself or another key starter injured in a meaningless game, when we are legit superbowl contenders. It's just a regular season record, let him chase the Superbowl MVP and don't get distracted by the flashy lights
Eric Dickerson in his record breaking season (16 games to OJ's 14) also had 14 fumbles. Saquon is 34 carries short of the the 379 carries that Eric Dickerson needed to set his record of 2105 yards, but has had only TWO (2) fumbles in 16 games.
Being a Philly fan, I normally don’t agree with skip but if you don’t let Saquan get the record he will regret it for the rest of his life. He already should regret sitting early in the first giants game, cause the record probably would already be broken but he can still make history. Not only for himself but for the oline, for the offense, for the team, for organization and for the city!!! Chances like this don’t come everyday, honestly it seems to come every other decade. Go out and make history and put your name in the record books forever. This is special man!!!! To top it off, it’s against the team that didn’t believe in you!!! You can’t write the script any better than this. God makes no mistakes!!! Let happen what’s meant to be. Would be one of the greatest stories in league history!!!
@@MJ19438what he said was, he would like to get it and that he really doesn’t need rest and that he would like to stay active, and that he worked and trained to be in position to play these games… Nowhere in his interview did he say he didn’t care about breaking the record. So stop making up BS
There's no thought involved, no one remembers who won the Super Bowl 5 years from now. Immortality awaits Barkley and his offensive line, 303 feet away.
No one remembers who won a super bowl 5 years from now? Why TF are you lying like that a super bowl would make Barkley far more immortal than the rushing record 😭🤣
R u trolling? 😂. I didn’t even know who Eric Dickerson was until Saquon got close, and I guarantee you most people don’t know the passing record, touchdown record, ect. The super bowl is all that really matters
@@Buddyboyfocusdisagree.. thts lack of knowledge of the game.. personal records does mean a lot to players don’t be fooled.. more incentives for players who break records
Seriously, bone head people talking about injury risk… every snap is like that who cares. Wentz got knocked out of playoffs years ago in the first 10 min
This isn’t “some record”, this is “The Record”! This is a once in a career moment and I say you go for it, just ask Adrian Peterson about being 8 yds short only to be bounced 1st rd. Let Saquon Run! 🦅
@@brandonneumann5294 first off Dickerson broke OJ's after they added 2 games, 2nd Saquon is averaging more yds per carry than Dickerson did. Extra game smextra game!
@@alwayzchillin0714He also has 34ish less carries than ED did. I think that is more impressive considering he sat himself out a few quarters of some games.
As a die hard eagles fan . And a person that want another Super Bowl . You don’t get a chance at records this crazy everyday . He has to go for it . We can live with the results . Whatever happens happens . That’s life .
Breaks a record? There used to be 16 games and before that 14 games. Yeah people keep breaking records because you keep adding games. What’s the point of a record if you’re going to keep adding games?
OJ Simpson had the record in 14 games. Eric Dickerson broke the record in 16 games. Saquon might do it in 17 games at the expense of his former team. Will the Giants go easy on Saquon, their former teammate so he could break the record?
Record or not, I'd still have at least the offensive starters play for the first half. The last thing I want is a team come in rusty in the playoffs when they already come out flat in the 1st quarter so often
They all need to play. If not Hurts and the offense will be rusty and we'll end up getting bounced out in the first round. They need to go into the playoffs firing on all cylinders.
If they hadn't pulled him out of the Dallas game early, he may have gotten the record then and could sit or at least gotten within a few carries against N. Y. To get the record.
Sit out all the starters. It's not about breaking season records it's about winning the superbowl. Keep the main thing the main thing win the superbowl. Barkley has nothing to prove or break. He is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. Sit him out
There is a super bowl every year and nobody cares the day after but it’s not every day you get a chance to put yourself in the record books. Barkley needs to play.
I would play Barkley in the 4th quarter only. That's when the Giants defense is all beat up and tired... unleash him for a handful of plays thats all it will take to get the record
I’m guessing he’s going to let him start the game and see how it goes from there. This team was built to win a Super Bowl. I’m glad I don’t have to make this decision. Go 🦅!
Shouldn’t even be a decision. He’s not hurt or complaining. Fans paid to see the #1s play in the last game of season. Finish the season strong as a team.
People don't seem to realize that this record isn't just about one player. You have an offensive line that makes way for every run. You have a defense that works to keep their offense on the field and the opponents off of it. You have coaches that call the run plays. You have position and conditioning staff that keep the players mentally and physically prepped to perform. You have a general manager who had the foresight to go out and bring the player on board. You have a team owner who spared the expense to make it happen. And you got the most passionate fans in the NFL who welcomed Saquon to the E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES and want to be part of NFL history. We will know after 3:30 p.m., January 5th, 2025 whether or not the #26 will be retired from Eagle uniforms in the future. We will know what yard marker was passed. We will know what play was called. Somebody wins the Super Bowl every year. But a 40 year rushing record...well that happens every 40 years.
Lifelong die hard Eagles fan.. and Penn State alumni.. I want to see him get it.. not even mostly because the Giants.. because Eric Dickerson and his salty comments.. now they said today he's not going to play.. I'm sorry I don't agree.. I say go for it.. life is too short.. I want another Super Bowl but I want to see him and the offensive line get what they deserve 🦅
2:35 - I agree. I don't like that they don't go for it because TO ME, it would seem to put a bad vibe in the locker room heading into the playoffs with your QB's uncertain health. I don't like it one bit.
Let’s all be honest with each other. When you have more games to play it’s not an apples to apples comparison- it’s just not. OJ Simpson truly holds the record.
Honestly, I’d just make it simple. Ask saquon if he wants the record or if he wants to play it safe and get rest. He’s more than likely going to want the record, and at that point you go try and get it
I feel like the decision to play and chase the record should be Saquon's. If he wants to play, let him play. But if not, that's cool too. As long as it was his decision.
They'll play him on Sunday...it's all media hype for now. They wanted to do something special and that's going to start on Sunday and continue from there.
Aww Saquon Barkley should play in the game for the first quarter. He will have no problem getting 100 yards with in a few plays. I'm sure he will be fine
Anytime I agree with Skip Bayless, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. But Skip has been really honest this season, when it comes to the Cowboys and the Eagles… Skip has also been one of the few people understanding the magnitude of signing Saquon Barkley !!! He has seen the prophecy this season before it existed. Jerry Jones may want to take notes. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Saquon Barkley should at least get a shot at the all-time season rushing title. The Eagles at least owe him that for his outstanding play this season, helping them get the #2 seed. If they had let him play the entire Cowboys game he would be even closer to the record, maybe 70 yards to go instead of 101. That way he could've possibly broken the record by halftime against the Giants' porous rush defense (ranked 31st in the league).
I'd say that they also need to let Hurts get back up to tempo instead of being all rusty going into the playoffs. So let the starters play for a couple quarters and give Saquon a chance as well.
Total touches doesn't matter when 1) he was already in the secondary before first contact 2) he is typically getting tackled while going down which is less impact.
Now when u have dual threat qbs having a big time running back like saquan barkley ATL the qb they drafted with bijon is gonna be scarry next season with a good coach
345 is alot of carries if your oline is trash, but with the Eagles, he barely gets touched before 5 yards! Mind you, this is first year in this offense! Can you imagine how much more comfortable he'll be next season?
For those claiming "asterisk," keep in mind that although Dickerson played one fewer games than Saquon, Barkley will (perhaps) break the record against significantly better opposition. Remember, Dickerson set his record in 1984, FORTY years ago. Players are bigger, faster, stronger, and defenses are considerably more sophisticated in today's game. I would argue that makes up for one single extra game. He got within 101 yards after 16 games with much, much better defense than what Dickerson faced.
There shouldn’t be much to think about. Let him go out there and get the record. It’s what the fans want, media, and probably Saquon. Perfect example is the Colts sitting their starters instead of going for 16-0. Winning the championship is the overall goal but that team won’t be as well remembered because they didn’t go for the perfect season.
Let's say Saquon plays and DOESN'T break the record. Rather then energize the team.. they would feel defeated. Not worth it heading into the Playoffs... Rest Saquon. 🦅🦅🦅🦅

Yes for sure. Dexter Lawrence will let him get by, they're friends.
They will lay down
Wow such an astute comment !!!!
Hope Eric Dickerson doesn’t pull a mark gastineau and berate giants players for it.
They will do a Brett Favre?

what's the point of a total yards record when you keep adding game?
Finally i agree with u... if Barkley beats the record and eagles dont win the superbowl its atleast silver lining
So if Skip Bayless tells the Eagles to let Saquon play, now he’s definitely not playing!!!
No guts no glory. Get the record
Remember what you said about Saquon before the season started? I do.
Total touches doesn't matter when 1) he was already in the secondary before first contact 2) he is typically getting tackled while going down which is less impact.
Him rooting for Barkley to chance it is wild crazy to me. He could get hurt and be out the post season.
Now when u have dual threat qbs having a big time running back like saquan barkley ATL the qb they drafted with bijon is gonna be scarry next season with a good coach
345 is alot of carries if your oline is trash, but with the Eagles, he barely gets touched before 5 yards! Mind you, this is first year in this offense! Can you imagine how much more comfortable he'll be next season?
He will be another year older coming off the most usage he’s ever had
I think back in the day defense ends and linebackers were as fast as they are now
Fk that record rest for the playoffs.its way more important to go to the Superbowl healthy 🙏😇🙏💪😎🦅🦅🦅🦅🏈🦅🦅🦅

Im on the fence whether we should play him or not
At least 10% of S's carries are 10-20-50 yard sprints, where nobody touched him! So, there's that.
There shouldn’t be much to think about. Let him go out there and get the record. It’s what the fans want,
media, and probably Saquon. Perfect example is the Colts sitting their starters instead of going for 16-0. Winning the championship is the overall goal but that team won’t be as well remembered because they didn’t go for the perfect season.
2009 Peyton Manning Colts 14-2
Record for what? Record for a 17 game season? And Dickerson has the record for a 16 game season
Skip just wants the Eagles to get injured this last game
Agree with SB playing. Hurts needs some playing time too.
Jinx Blayless smh , Flyeaglesfly !!! 🦅🤔🦅

Skip, good on you for still saying your cowboys but we all know you a low key Eagles fan.
Streets saying you offered 1.5M for yams
The whole team has to play the first half imo, 2 quarters to get everything right and break that record
