They should sign Zeke and feed him. Then cut him after the game.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Good.

It would be gross to see Barkley break the record with the help of an extra game.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Good call. Even if Saquon broke the record, doing it in 17 games isn't as impressive.

Good.

You mean like Dickerson did it in two extra games? It’s a ridiculous argument. Things are never going to be exactly the same across eras.

If you want to be nitpicky about it, Saquon Barkley also got to 2000 in fewer carries.

The record is safe and not tainted by a 17th game.

As it should be.

Sorry bout it, Eagles fan.

Ouch......

He'd get a ring....

No surprise.......

and they will still beat the giants

 

[Jarntt]

Shouldn't this be on the Eagles board? Oh wait...

 

[StarOfGlory]

Good.

He didn’t play every game this year I believe. He also has about 30 less carries, so he would probably break the record in fewer carries.

No surprise.......

I think I'd let him go for it. It isn't often that a player gets a shot at a record like that. I know there's injury risk involved, but still, he's got a shot at an individual goal that's special.

Barkley started 16 games this year.

If he played Sunday it would be 17.

It's gross that Barkley could have broke the all-time record while averaging 6 less yards per game than Dickerson did.

No surprise.......

They aren’t gonna let Barkley break the record? That’s wild especially since he probably could’ve broke it against Dallas…

Yea I would probably let him go for it........it's such an elusive record

Good i want the Giants to win so they camt get Sanders

True but people forget that over time. I think oj the murderer had 2000 in a 14 game season. So Dickerson needed 16 to break the record.

I think they'd be crazy with nothing to gain to risk Barkley.

And Moss’s 23 TDs broke Rice’s record that was in 12 games, and Cooper Kupp’s historic 2021 happened in a 17 game season, and all but 1 of Jefferson’s “most yard through age X season” records are happening in 17 game seasons… so why doesn’t every record ever have a big asterisk? They used to even play fewer than 12 games.

People would have made a stink about it now if he broke it, but in a couple years when 17 game seasons are more normalized it wouldn’t have mattered; “the record is the record”
