If the Eagles get to the Super Bowl Barkley will go down as the best free agent signing in Eagles history (tied with the TO signing). If they win the Super Bowl he will be the best free agent signing in Eagles history (no tie)
December 9, 2024Dec 9 In his 1st season with the Eagles. He's already broken franchise records. Could end up breaking 40 year old rushing record and being our first MVP in the Super Bowl Era. Saquon has done wonders for this team since coming here.

Well Foles is homegrown and drafted here. Just because we brought him back as a Free Agent isn't the same as getting Saquon who never had any connection to us. But by Definition, yes though Foles left, he came back a Free Agent and we signed him and won The Super Bowl. Not to split hairs but I understand why he's mentioned but I don't agree since we drafted him first.

Yeah, I want him to get that but not at the cost of the Super Bowl, of course. If he could do that, get league MVP, we win the Super Bowl AND he get Super Bowl MVP, then the Giants should be dismantled and shipped off to Russia. lol It would be A LOT of fun trolling Giants boards if all that happened.
December 10, 2024Dec 10 Author Thinking the strife brewing relating to the passing game could have a huge impact on Barkley getting the all time record. They are likely to overcorrect to get the ball to Brown more to appease him with the hope to squash this thing before it gets any bigger which will cut into Barkley's touches and make it that much more difficult to get that record.

It shouldn’t. Everyone on the team knows this is a run first offense and that’s how they win. They just need to balance out the passing game and get the ball to open receivers, when they do in fact, pass. That’s all.

As I’ve just put in another thread… there’s absolutely a way for Barkley to be just as effective and get just as many yards whilst posting higher passing numbers. We are leaving plays and points on the board.
December 15, 2024Dec 15 Author 483 rushing yards needed in the final 4 games to break Dickerson's record. 121 yards/game to accomplish that in 4 games. 161 yards/game to accomplish that in 3 games (to avoid missing out on the record should Sirianni choose to sit top players in the season finale if we are locked into a particular seed). Let's go 26!
December 16, 2024Dec 16 Author 65 yards rushing today against a tough Steelers run defense. 418 yards away from that record. Needs to average 140 yards/game over the final 3.

December 16, 2024Dec 16 Author Henry only gained 2 yards on Saquon for the NFL rushing title as he only had 67 yards rushing yesterday against the Giants (vs Barkley's 65 vs the Steelers). Saquon now with 1688 on the year and Henry with 1474. 1688 puts him at 39th all time, just behind Barry Foster (1690) in 1992 and just ahead of Walter Payton (1684) in 1984. 3 games to go to jump up the all time rankings.
December 16, 2024Dec 16 Barkley’s lack of touchdowns to go with Josh Allen playing out his mind right now I think has kind of put him out the running. He’s going to need to break the rushing record, but even that loses some of its luster due to the extra game. Barkley’s going to need a single game rushing record break to go with like four tds in one game to top Allen.
December 16, 2024Dec 16 Hell of an effort by Barkley. I don't think he'll break the record. It'll be tough.

The fact that, with 3 games to go, we are talking about Barkley as a legit MVP candidate and the opportunity to break the 40 year old single season rushing record means he far exceeded any and all expectations anyone had when it was announced we signed him.

December 19, 2024Dec 19 Author How can you not love the guy?!? Saquon Barkley "fully aware of how far” he is from rushing record Eagles running back Saquon Barkley played only 49 of 80 offensive snaps Sunday. The team never announced an injury in-game, and Barkley said after the game he was "dealing with a little something” but didn’t elaborate. Barkley was on the practice report Wednesday but not for injury. He did not participate with a load management day. "Your body is going to tell you exactly what you need,” Barkley said, via Jeff Neiburg of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "The beauty of playing in 2024 is you have so much data, so much science. Trust in that; trust in the trainers; trust in the strength guys, and just listen and be coachable.” Barkley finished Sunday with 19 carries for 65 yards, giving him 1,688 rushing yards for the season. That leaves him on pace to rush for just over 2,000 yards this season, but he no longer is on pace to surpass Eric Dickerson’s single-season record of 2,105 yards. "Nothing changed from last week,” Barkley said of the rushing record. "I’m fully aware of how far I am. I’m not scared of it.” Barkley, who is averaging 120.6 yards per game, needs to average 139 rushing yards in the Eagles’ final three games to break the record. "If I don’t get it, I’m not going to be depressed,” Barkley said. "If I get it, I’m not going to be that crazy happy either. It’s a record. Records are meant to be broken. My mindset is focused on winning games and competing for a championship, and that’s the only thing that really matters to me.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/saquon-barkley-fully-aware-of-how-far-he-is-from-rushing-record
December 19, 2024Dec 19 You do have to love how good a team mate this guy seems to be. Not only is he a great player on the field but he’s a real leader on this team. I hope he breaks the record but he’s got to need a huge huge game to get there! If he can have another Rams type game on Sunday then I think there’s a really good chance. If he goes under 150 yards I think at that point it’s a no go (even though it would still be possible given he needs 139 yards per game as an average).
