Saquon Barkley will sit out of week 18. Eric dikkerson's record is safe.

They had nothing to play for. Also, Eric dikkerson's record was over 16 games so people would have tried to put an asterisk anyway.

Chase just locked up OPOY

I think it will be close. I don’t think this locks it up for Chase. I think Barkley will get votes from those that think he’s an MVP candidate, but are voting for Lamar/Allen.

It should be Lamar

NOPE OJ RECORD WAS 14 GAMES.

THE NEW RECORD WOULD HAVE BEEN
THE NEW RECORD

Triple crown is impressive, but he's not going to get OPOY over Saquon (or Lamar) especially when they'll be people voting for his own teammate to get it over him.

 

[get these nets]

Nothing to gain from him playing.
People who aren't Giants fans maybe don't know about his injury history.

OJ did it in 14 games before dikkerson broke it. Plus Barkley has less carries than dikkerson

This is stupid to me. It's a 40 yr old record. Go get it and if it happens by halftimr, sit after that.

 

[Stop_It_5]

Yeah, I don't think the validity of the record had anything to do with the decision. ED needed two more games than OJ, and Saquon would've done it in less carries than ED.

It's about the Eagles having a legit shot at the Super Bowl and not wanting to risk a starting OL getting their leg rolled up under or Saquon getting twisted in a pile and tearing something. Especially when the Giants are gonna go all out to deny those 101 yards, even if it means losing by 50.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

This should be Adrian Peterson's record anyway

 

[MikelArteta]

to bad i know he would have ran for over 200 on his old team

 

[Spliff]

Best part about this record being tested is folks getting a reminder how outrageous OJ's season was

 

[Jean toomer]

Chase might go for 300 yards this week

I think it will be close. I don’t think this locks it up for Chase. I think Barkley will get votes from those that think he’s an MVP candidate, but are voting for Lamar/Allen.

the OPOY is saquons
there is no debate
