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

NOPE OJ RECORD WAS 14 GAMES.

THE NEW RECORD WOULD HAVE BEEN
THE NEW RECORD


​

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.

Yup

Juice had the best 2K season.

OJ did it in 14 games but Twitter and the like didn't exist when dikkerson broke the record. There would be several people trying to tear it down

GET SHUTDOWN ONCE THEYRE TOLD
OJ DID IT IN 14 GAMES

So you think he should go for it or no?

 

[CHICAGO]

NO BECAUSE THEYRE GONNA
STACK THE BOX AND NOT
LET HIM GET IT.

100 YARDS IS TOO MUCH
VS A TEAM WITH NOTHING
TO LOSE.

THEY WOULD JUST ALLOW PHILLY
TO KILL THEM IN THE PASSING GAME
OUT OF SPITE

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t Sirianni would probably need a secret service detail to move around Philly, if Saquon was a victim to an unfortunate injury.

I would have liked to see him go for the record, but it is what it is. Even with 17 games, I thought dikkerson’s record would be virtually impossible to break with how the RB position was being devalued to a degree. But now with the resurgence of the RB, who knows.

going to Lamar since Allen getting MVP

lol my friend. it is going to Saquon. Trust me

 

[Apprentice]

Maybe it's ring culture?

How tf does ring culture affect Saquon Barkley

 

[Formerly known as...]

Smart move. Don't risk injury in a meaningless game for the team.

Philthy trying to ruin our tank

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.

Barkley, on cusp of record, to sit out vs. Giants

The Eagles plan to rest key players, including Saquon Barkley, against the Giants, coach Nick Sirianni said Wednesday.

well, they technically couldn’t put an asterix next to it
because dikkerson had way more carries than Barkley

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Sports weird now fr

nikka got the chance to be in the record books he like nah I’m good

So what happens if they get bounced first round?

I think it was moreso the team's decision more than his.

Henry just went for 2027 back in 2020 in 16 games. That was definitely the quietest 2000 yard season ever.

 

[Regular_P]

They put an asterisk next to dikkerson's too cause OJs was in 14

Barry and OJ the only legit 2,000 yard backs. Both did it in 14 games.

Barry did his in 1997, 19 years after they started playing 16 games

Barry's first two games were bad, but his last 14 games he rushed for 2,000 that season
