Interesting thing is the rushing props for Barkley are about the same as usual. Despite the sore knee stories, and short week for the knee to heal up better.
I think Barkley has a big game tonight against his former team, and the Eagles win the game.
This season's Barkley sure ain't last season's Barkley. Without that, the Eagles chances of getting to the Super Bowl are iffy at best. Which we all knew before this season began,

Shocking game last night, tough night for Philly faithful
Sorry Steve
Eagles still at 4-2 with of course plenty of season left.
But can't refuse to accept the situation. if Barkley doesn't heal up, it's unlikely that the Eagles will get to the Super Bowl this season, let alone win it.
Actually I've got no real problem with all this. The Eagles won it last season, and that will overall keep me happy for a number of years. I think - LOL
Steve, It really boils down to 1 play. Down by only 10 points and in the Red Zone going in to make it 3 points with plenty of time left and Hurts throws that pick. It was a great play by the Giants DB. All of a sudden it's a
17 point game and the Giants start burning the clock......game over. Bottom line is, the Eagles are not that bad, and the Giants are not that good. When is the last time a team started the season 1 - 4 and went to the SB,
much less win it. Their odds went from 1-900 to 1-899. I doubt they can pull off a SB like that one against the undefeated Pats! They should have never won that game! You know what they say about that PIG that can't see
and a Acorn. Lot of Football left.

Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
The Eagles look like they did at the end of the 2023 season when they totally fell apart.
One thing you can say about this pro football season. No one is going to run away with it, at least so far.

When you get to third and one yard to go, there should be little question about getting a first down. Then we have a “push tush” drama and we end up a movement penalty. Next it’s three and out.

The won today, but if Saquon Barkley does not improve or if the Eagles can’t find a replacement, they will not go far in the playoffs.

Hate to agree with ya. The Barkley era with the Eagles was short but very sweet. However we have to look at the situation now, and there is obviously a serious problem.
As we all know, when it comes to running backs, sometimes they go downhill quickly, and their NFL career is suddenly over. Bottom line, 44 yards on 18 carries simply won't cut it. Poor day receiving as well.

If you can have at least the threat of throwing the ball well, the ground game will improve. But Barkley has issues.
You can’t “fix” Barkley but calling on him for every play. When the opposing team knows he’s going to get ball, they will key him. The first touchdown may have been because the Vikings let a receiver get behind them after Barkley did not get the run. After that, the Eagles kept trying to get him going, and it was one three and outs after another.

Tough to see the Eagles losing this game tonight.

Calling the Eagles ML.
Glory is fleeting.

Yikes!

Great game for the Giants. Kind of brought the teams together in the NFC East, at least for the time being.
Believe it or not, I wanted Dallas to take Scattaboo in the draft. I thought he looked good in the bowl game.
If Dallas only had a defence!! Flubberpuss has to go!!!
Dimeman out.
NFL logic, Part 1:
The Eagles yesterday morning were 9-1 odds to win this season's Super Bowl.
The Giants were 800-1.
So logically the Giants should blow-out the Eagles in last night's game, right? 😒
BTW, that's the only Part. There is no Part 2.

NFC East now seems wide open. In fact much of the NFL seems wide-open as far as which team is going to win this season's Super Bowl.
Long way to go.

Too much “tush push?”

Or Barkley will. heat up towards the end of the season, if he is hurt or playing through a minor injury they might want to keep him out a few games
He is irreplaceable really
