2 times he ran out of bounds short of the sticks, both times disaster struck. Once tonight and once another game (if memory serves me right, fg block). And also sliding early when we needed the 1st down.

Can blame Siri all you want, but players need to be held accountable too.

I'd rather he stay healthy and have to punt vs him taking unnecessary shots at this point in the season. He is the MVP and they need him healthy for the playoffs.

If your running back is scared of contact and getting a first down they're playing the wrong position.

Scared isn't the issue. I have no problem with him protecting himself at this point in the season. He has an injury history and is currently the MVP of the team. 

For who?

For what? 

OP listens to Endless Love in the dark with his garbage man.

Saquan almost got hurt on the Hurts fumble, but fortunately he avoided any serious injuries. This guy makes this offense something completely different. Teams try to stack the box, then the Eagles throw it deep. They try to cover the deep stuff and they hand it to Barkley. It’s a killer combination.

The big thing is how dangerous he is in the second half! He is really good in the first half but he’s even better in the second half. Whether we need plays to get going, to come from behind or to control the game with a lead. It’s such a weapon to have.

The Giants didn’t know how to use him. Isn’t it funny how the Giants choose Barkley or Jones meanwhile we have Barkley, Hurts, Brown, Smith, and our Oline? 😂

That’s a really great point! The difference between a well run organisation and a poorly run organisation right there.

Well, I think I can live with some "low IQ" if you are going to run for 1,800 yards or more this year....

In 2022, the giants surprised everybody by starting the year 6-1 and it was pretty much all Barkley. We all know Daboll won coach of the year, even though his team finished the year with only 4 wins in their last 12 games (4-7-1) including playoffs. Since the Great Daboll's 6-1 record, the giants have gone 12-26-1. 

You don't have to have a great RB to be a winning team, but there is no excuse to have a premium RB and not win half your games. Ditka understood that and put all his eggs in the Ricky Williams basket. The mid-80s rams were all Dickerson or bust. Elway never was able to win a super bowl until T. Davis. The Greatest Show on Turf wouldn't have been any better than any Dan Marino offense had they not had Faulk.
