Only thing that matters is stopping Barkley

Those points seem to not matter. Do we take away the all time season sack leader Watts record because Reggie White set it in only 12 games?
What's crazy last week when the posted how hast Micah got to 50 sacks and Reggie
White got it in only 40 games? That's insane. He had 50 sacks 1/2 way through his 3rd season? Jesus
I don't think you take them away because, either way, it's still an accomplishment. I just feel like people will say "Yeah, but..." at least for a time. It was likely the same back when they expanded from 14 games to 16. Most of those season records from the 14 game seasons are long since surpassed. It is what it is.

There should be some type of distinction because what the old skool guys did was impressive.

Excuses...not really in the real world if one has enough guts to face them reasonably. Not by expecting there is a right way to do the wrong thing
I asked God to make me a better man. He sent me my wife. :muttley:

I don't give a diddly, darn about any other players or teams. I'm more focused on what the heck is going on with us, and how's it going to play out?
I just have a weird feeling, Jerry's got something out there that we are just totally unaware.
That is weird.

Barkley is going to break 2,000 yards in Dallas.

I want to see Jerry's face when that happens.
If he goes over 2,000 tomorrow, rhat increases his chances of of breaking the record next week. I believe they'll let him try for it if he gets close enough.

Right on!! If people want to discredit Saquon for (possibly) breaking the record in a 17-game season, why didn't they discredit Eric Dickerson for setting the record in 16 games? OJ got his 2,000 yards in 14 games.

True. Simpson had the record with a 14 game season. Dickerson topped it in a 16 games season. Now the record might be passed by a player in a 17 game season. Eventually there will be an 18 game season. So it goes.

Jerry has something out there.
Like what, possibly contemplating restructuring Daks contract repeatedly until Dak is 40 so we can sign a few old FAs.
I have always tried to be a positive fan because I have a good understanding of capenomics and proper roster build.
Jerry and Dak just put us in historical purgatory, don't hate the messenger, I'm just speaking the honest truth from fan perspective.

Why not just make the record a yards per game record?

If he gets 25 to 30 touches tomorrow he has a good shot at it and without Hurts that may be the game plan.

I understand it’s possible, but Saquon’s history playing against Dallas… not great. He hasn’t had a 100 yard game against us in 5 years and it’s not like he didn’t have opportunities. He got his first win against the cowboys. This year. 1-10.
