Imagine had he not left almost 60 yards on the table vs GB. That'd have been another 60+ TD on this post season

Plan:

1. Win Super Bowl & SB MVP this year.

2. Break season rushing record next season by game 15. Win league MVP

3. Rest til playoffs, let other guys eat 

4. Repeat as Super Bowl champion 

Easy.

Another record that is within reach for Saquon that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet ... most rushing yards in a single postseason. 

The record is held by John Riggins (610 rushing yards across 4 games in 1982).  Saquon currently has 442 rushing yards this postseason (averaging 147.3 ypg).  He would need 169 rushing yards against KC to break that record.

It's been mentioned, though likely not in here.   I believe it was featured on NFL Network.  They showed that Barkley is 2 yards behind where Riggins was going into the Super Bowl that year.  So, basically all he needs to do is beat Riggins' rushing total in that game, and he has the record.  Riggins ran for 166 yards and 1 TD on 38 carries.  I think if Saquon approaches even 30 carries, he should get the record, and likely 2 TDs.   Riggins was Super Bowl MVP that year.   Barkley absolutely has a great chance to both break the record AND be Super Bowl MVP.  And going into the game, that's my hope... ride Barkley, limit KC possessions, beat up their DL and when the 4th quarter comes, as this team has done all year, they should be susceptible to either a long time consuming drive to end the game, or a long TD run to ice it.    That's my hope anyway.

That is exactly my hope as well.  He is averaging 147 rushing yards per game this postseason but it is going to take everyone bringing their A+ game to make that happen ... KC hasn't allowed a 100 yard rusher all year (well, except Lamar when they played the Ravens), and they haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher in their last 19 postseason games (stat courtesy of Roob).  Let's hope both Dickerson and Jurgens are both good to go, we have a good plan for handling the blitzes Spags is going to concoct, and that everyone keeps their cool (no stupid penalties or worse getting ejected like CJGJ in game 2 against Washington this year - need all hands on deck for the full 60).  

He's having a pretty solid year.  Let's see how he does in the next game.

OPOY!!!

Should have got mvp too

He placed 3rd:

Allen - 383 pts

Jackson - 362 pts

Barkley - 120 pts

Burrow - 82 pts

Goff - 47 pts

They should have split the award between Allen and Barkley the way they did between Favre and Sanders in 1997.

Yep.  No player helped their team more this year than Barkley did.

The all time single season rushing record would have been great.  Setting the all time single season (regular season and playoffs) rushing record (he needs 30 yards) will be even better.  

MVP would have been great.  Super Bowl MVP will be even better.

Exactly!

I dont think Barkley deserved mvp over Allen. If our offensive line was trash, and we had a bottom tier defense, I'd understand the argument for Barkley.  I'd actually argue our defense has been more valuable this season than 26.
