Did he do the same thing for the Giants ?
He has a problem catching that same route for both teams..Good for Atlanta..They played hard and made that TD when they really needed it..
Run the ball and run down the clock and kick the field goal win the game. Pass the ball and have Barkley drop it is just stupid. Hurts with a bad INT to end the game.
Just as much to blame for the loss was that douchebag Siriani calling a pass play on 3rd down. Saved 40 seconds for Cousins to drive down the field for the win. Even if they run and no first down, unlikely Falcons win. Eagles suck!
They let the Falcons march right down the field for 70 yards and a TD with no timeouts in 1:05 and then Hurts throws a needless INT when they had a timeout and needed only about 20 yards to give your kicker a legit chance to win, but, sure.
And if Sirianni just runs it on that 3rd down play, the game is also pretty much over with a 6 point lead even if you don't make it and now only about a minute left, probably less, with no timeouts for ATL.
But the drop was costly, no doubt, but that was a total team implosion in the last 2 minutes by the Eagles. Love to see it.
but he had to go run his mouth about the Giants "let him walk away." As if, one, he didn't turn down a better contractfrom Schoen in 2022 than what he got from Philly this offseason, and two, that he didn't want out the door just as badly.

I couldn’t be happier that the whole nation got to see what the Giants have seen since 2018. Saquon Barkley is a super talented player who just finds a way to screw up and lose. He is the same guy in Philly he was here, and in a few years they will be just as happy to be rid of him as we were.
For the 10th time in 12 years.
Happy the eagles lost but the fact we want to celebrate things like this shows were a loser team.
Huh? The fact that people are celebrating a division rival's loss shows we're a loser team??? Isn't that what fans of all teams do when a division rival loses? You should go on a Yankees thread and see all the scoreboard watching and celebration that goes on when the Orioles lose. Does that show that the Yankees are a loser team? But I guess you're too wrapped up in rooting for the Giants to lose to care about what's happening with the rest of the division.
RE: Now the media can stop slagging us for letting him go
What did our organization do for him? Provided a shit QB and offensive line and horrible coaches. Then instead of paying him they franchised him and paid Jones instead.

I wouldn't either. Except he turned down a better offer from the Giants than he wound up getting from Philly, then he acts like he wanted to stay here except that Schoen wouldn't return his calls.
The truth is, both sides were ready to move on. And if he just said that, I'd wish him all the luck in the world. But he insists on making it appear as though he was acting more honorably than the Giants.
All of you that are saying F-Barkley please bring that same energy on that day. I love Barkley. Best player by far in a dismal time in this franchise’s history. Now that he’s gone this team is one injury away to a WR of being unwatchable. Who are we kidding.

I suspect it has more to do with the media and fans mocking the Giants for letting him walk - which isn’t the right narrative anyway, I think he always wanted to end up in Philly
As mentioned many times, Giants should have traded him to wherever but Philly mid-season last year, taken the 2nd or 3rd or 4th round pick and moved on
Regardless, that moron Philly coach and one of their players blew a game with dumb decisions and a dropped pass? Haha fuck them
Tomlinson is the guy we miss the most. Not Barkley. I wanted Barkley to come back two years ago. He fucked himself a passed on a better off than the one he got then. Blamed the Giants. Me I'll take the great DT we let walk for nothing to get the WR Golloday(yeah ) and have not be able to stop the run since.

If you love Barkley and think he was a winning player here, you missed a lot of games. The easy passes like tonight for first downs that he routinely dropped, the times we needed to run out the clock and he ran out of bounds, and all the times we needed to score quickly and he cut back inside for another 2 yards that cost us 15 seconds,
He is a nice guy and a talented player. He is also a dumb player who can’t make a clutch play to save his life.
He did it here many many many times always in devastating ways, whether it be a drop, a fumble, going out of bounds when he shouldn’t, or deliberately falling down short of the first down because he didn’t know where he was on the field.
With his drop. It was Nick Sirianni who cost the Eagles the game.
It was a tie game. How did Nabers not converting that 4th down play cost the Giants the game? You remember there was no such thing as field goal range on Sunday, right?
I remember during the hype around the 2018 draft some scouts were saying Barkley could play wide receiver with his speed and hands. He may have one of the worst set of hands in the NFL. For every spectacular catch the guy makes, he drops two easy ones. He is closer to a guy who has to come off the field on 3rd down because if he is in you know they won’t (or at least shouldn’t) throw to him.
What did our organization do for him? Provided a shit QB and offensive line and horrible coaches. Then instead of paying him they franchised him and paid Jones instead.

What does “there was still TDs” mean? There are always TDs available. Did Nabers drop the ball in the end zone? The one yard line? No. He stopped a drive that was by no means certain, or even likely, to end in a TD. It stopped a drive that could have ended in a TD.
I don’t know why some posters won’t walk back incorrect statements they make.
Cost them the game. If they run the ball they either get a first down or kill another 40 seconds of clock. Terrible clock management.
Don’t be obtuse…perfect call….he was wide open and had the 1st down. A running play wouldn’t guarantee he would get the 1st down. Don’t make excuses when not accurate.
BARKLEY DROPPED A BALL MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD CATCH. HE BROKE OUR HEARTS MANY TIMES IN THE CLUTCH. REMEMBER THE MNF GAME V PACKERS?
No fans deserve this more. You just lost at home, in front of a national audience, to a team that is so awful they had to go to a silent count at home last week.
And your prize offseason acquisition was the very directly involved in costing you the game. Sure looks like you are picking up where you left off last year!
Barkley has 16 drops since 2021, the most by any RB in the league.
He’s a flawed player and his receiving skills in particular were all hype. I remember when drafted there was talk he could easily be a great WR if he wasn’t an RB.
Hate is a term used on this site by people who don’t understand the word. Rooting against a guy in a game is not hate. If some actual tragedy befell Barkley tomorrow, there would be nothing but best wishes for him on this site. Nobody would be reveling in it.
Nobody on this site hates Saquon Barkley or Daniel Jones. If you think they do, you don’t know what the word means, or you are blinded by your own biases.
I will leave out the name to protect the innocent, but there was a poster who was adamant Barkley dropped passes on purpose to avoid being hit. That was kind of weird.
All of you that are saying F-Barkley please bring that same energy on that day. I love Barkley. Best player by far in a dismal time in this franchise’s history. Now that he’s gone this team is one injury away to a WR of being unwatchable. Who are we kidding.
If you think Barkley is a better football player than Andrew Thomas or Dexter Lawrence - then you didnt watch many Giants games.

Not to belabor the point, but from Sy's write up:
Quote:
The drop on the final drive, however, was an absolute back-breaker. Giants likely win if he brings that in.
Barkley crunchtime error goes back to 2018, in which the 1-3 Giants are playing the panthers and are down 24-30 with 2 minutes left. Eli hits a deep ball to the Panthers 15, then hits Barkley in the flat on 1st and 10, and he could've gone down at the 1, but instead does an increadible leap to score a TD, leaving the Panthers with over a minute on the clock to move down and hit the game-winning FG (hit by Graham Gano).
I remember this well because Fatman in Charlotte was screaming at everyone that clock management was stupid because it was important for the Giants to immediately hit the 30-point milestone they had failed to reach with MacAdoo.
Man some of you are so miserable you can't bring yourself to enjoy one
second of football. Of course we'd all love to be able to enjoy something the Giants did, no shit sherlock. I mean can you just let us enjoy our one crumb of football enjoyment this weekend? I would generally have no beef with Saquon, but come on he slinks off to our arch rival, blasts us on the way out with that pathetic social media post with his daughter, then gets 3 td's week one and we have to hear it. Screw him and his end of game choking ass. And screw that douchebag insufferable asshole of a coach they have. Oh and also screw that absolute rock bottom of the genetic gene pool of a fan base they kept panning to in the stands.

You don't go down at the one when you need a TD to take the lead. You do it when you only need to kill the clock or, maybe, if you only need the chip shot FG to win.
Not when you need the TD, because you can't presume it. You could have a false start. You could get stuffed.
Also, in the situation you mention, the Panthers could have called timeout and then what? If you sneak it in from the one the next play, you've only used up a few seconds, while taking a big risk of not scoring at all.
but Barkley still looks terrific. It was a bad job from NYG front office. Going back to how they handled the position when they drafted him through this past off-season when they finally addressed the OL with good FA signings only to let the guy walk.
I like Singletary so at least there's that. If he can rumble for 1000+ on good YPC we can forgive and forget.
PS fuck Philly.

...about 30 RBs in the league can do for a fraction of the cost.
Eagles RB position hasn't been a problem in the past due to the OL - and they did it by committee.
If Barkely stays healthy sure he'll be a top stat RB - but that's just because they've dumped by committee. Gainewell is hardly playing and I didn't see a third back play at all.
Telling stat: Barkely's longest run was 11 yards. He really doesn't make people miss in the open field and has sort of become a physical type back - which lends itself to injury.
Hate is personal and so is the decision to share that one is actually hateful about someone or something.
Just because people don't act in a way that I think is hateful does not mean they do not hate.
I think there is plenty of real hate in sports with fans and players, the hate that only a few actually admit. Where there is passion, the recipe for hate exists.
Both seem the same

Barkley’s drop still resulted in a FG and 6 point lead. The Defense got carved up in 60 seconds. Then the Eagles got the ball back and could have gotten in FG range had Hurts not thrown an awful pass.

Agree. He was 22-95, avg 4.3, long 11. That's not bad but behind that O line it's not special either. Bijan Robinson was clearly the superior RB in the game.
Don't blame fans for taking glee in it - he was all over social media - editing videos of him in Eagles gear without really thanking NY Giants fans, right?
im a barkley fan who has said for 2 years they messed up his contract
i actually even enjoy seeing him do well even no longer a giant. but i enjoy watching the eagles and siriani in particular shit themselves on national tv as bad as we do.
a barkley drop on an awful siriani playcall capped off with a hurts pick was a golden trifecta.
RE: RE: RE: You could say Nabers cost the Giants the game

Dumb comment Jeff….younhave to agree that if SB catches the ball, game over….HC didn’t drop it
HC decided not to go for an easy FG in the first quarter and go for it on 4th and 4. Came back to bite them in the ass.
Even the radio announcers were saying at the time, “Just take the points, man!“
Going for it on 4th at that point is something a David does against a Goliath, like they think they won’t get another chance. Not a move by a SB contender and game favorite at home.
players ever. People were acting like they were geniuses. Davis and Dean might be busts. Carter and Smith have some attributes but neither look like they are ready to play a full game. Their run defense was pathetic, especially Huff on the edge. You can't have him out there on first or second downs as teams will just exploit him on the run.

Not really a fan of taking a play - even points - in the very beginning of the game and applying it to the final score.
Ebb and flow - change of events - can all come into play resulting in different outcomes.
But I do agree - take the points there. When did fourth and three become so brazen?

I would have but some coin on their kicker nailing a 60 yarder to be honest - which is becoming a problem for me and the NFL.
Getting the ball back with 30 seconds and down by 3 or less is no longer a "long shot".
It's now a 50-50 proposition.
I wonder if HC's will consider allowing a return, eatting some time, and trying to pin the opposition within the 20.

Meh I watched most of the game and last week too. He looks exactly the same as when he was on the Giants. Some nice runs, a lot of no gain/negative runs when the blocking isn't there and a huge drop in crunch time.

Fuck your rules. With literally nothing else to get excited about the Giants, Eagle fans being mad is always a great consolation prize and the fact it has to do with an ex-Giant? I'm going to gloat and gloat again because, F the Eagles.

100% Stu. It amazes me how many fans can't take context into consideration. He's Saquon Barkley. We know everything about the guy. Eric from BBI would average 6 ypc behind that OL with Brown & Smith at WR, and I still think it's hilarious the Eagles felt the need to sign him to stick it to the Giants. Sure - build your team around the coach-killer Barkley, who's been unexplainably poor in pressure situations over the last 5 years and it showed up again. His inability to convert those memorable plays are part of the reason Schoen didn't want to pony up for him.
What did our organization do for him? Provided a shit QB and offensive line and horrible coaches. Then instead of paying him they franchised him and paid Jones instead.
Stems from the agony all those shithead Eagle fans endured last night and this morning + dickhead Siriani looking like just that + Saquon coming up small in a big spot. I do not wish any sort of injury for him, but I do want him to fail for walking out on NYG and being a douche during contract negotiations in ‘23.
Ha. Only BBI where some don't understand basic thinking and have the sense of humor of a crotchety old lunch lady.
No one is hating on Barkley, we're just enjoying one of the few positive football moments that has gone our way.
Our #2 overall pick hopped from our team to our biggest rival ever, in his second game he dropped the ball in front of their moron fans and people on here don't understand why this is funny or we're getting excited lol
Oh yeah that's right, when Eric Lindros went to the Rangers, they didn't have any snide comments over in that city.
I feel bad for Barkley the person, for the player not so much
All we've heard is how great he's going to be and Barkley himself saying he's felt free. He scored 3 TDs against the Packers and he was going to be the MVP after week 1. He was gashing the Falcons early then 2nd quarter hit and Barkley tac kled in the backfield did too. Not sure what it is; does he accelerate too slowly or is he looking to get that TD every play still? I said it last night that as soon as they NEED SB to stay in and protect the QB the eagles are dead. I forgot about his numerous end of game 'foibles'. Glad we moved on and hoping singletary can be an above average RB behind a MUCH IMPROVED line.
...about SB's failure. He wanted to be here, but Schoen played big man and let him walk.
I'm kind of glad for SB. He suffered behind the shittiest OL possible of all time.
He was a class player while here and I'll always show respect towards him. Although, I do wish he was with Houston instead of philly.
In a $800 12 team league, drafting 11, and Barkley is one of my backs. PPR and I’m tied last night and lose the tie breaker because of bench points (I have injuries). All he had to do was catch that little one. I don’t give a shit if he scores. So I go down the tubes.
For the 10th time in 12 years.
Happy the eagles lost but the fact we want to celebrate things like this shows were a loser team.
Fuck Barkley.
First off, Barkley did not cost them the game and second, you're an idiot. He's in a better place and you don't like it. Yes we get it. Just another homer Giants fan
They are whining about everything! I think they hate Siriani as much as Giants fans do, and they're whining about their lousy defence. They are also whining about Barkley's dropped pass.
Screw Philly!

Carter fell due to his off field stuff but he certainly isn't the "generational" talent crap that was spouted but some draft gurus and many here. There was also some concerns about his work ethic. We will see long run but somehow Howie Roseman the greatest GM in league history has drafted crappy players and over paid for Barkley no matter how good he does.

Well..yes...we are.
That's pretty obvious. Lol.
He has a problem catching that same route for both teams..Good for Atlanta..They played hard and made that TD when they really needed it..
and a side order of hershey squirts hurts at the end too.
Eagles are toast. A little less toasty than us.
And if Sirianni just runs it on that 3rd down play, the game is also pretty much over with a 6 point lead even if you don't make it and now only about a minute left, probably less, with no timeouts for ATL.
But the drop was costly, no doubt, but that was a total team implosion in the last 2 minutes by the Eagles. Love to see it.
and a side order of hershey squirts hurts at the end too.
The Eagles defense collapsed in the 2 minute drive too.
What a great night!
LOL.
And he left a sure-fire chip shot FG in the first period going for it on 4th down near the goal line.
Just dumb as a bag of hammers.
I couldn't be happier.

1000% agree. the play call was a gift. but who are we to criticize a perfect ending?
Does anyone else feel an overwhelming need to punch Siriani right in his stupid face every time they show him on TV?
I couldn’t be happier that the whole nation got to see what the Giants have seen since 2018. Saquon Barkley is a super talented player who just finds a way to screw up and lose. He is the same guy in Philly he was here, and in a few years they will be just as happy to be rid of him as we were.
Fuck you, Philly!!!

It won’t. People will act like this is some sort of outlier for him rather than the fabric of who he is - a guy who plays losing football.

Nothing. He's a vocal Saquon supporter who constantly trolls the Giants and Giants fans about him. Just being sarcastic.

I wouldn't either. Except he turned down a better offer from the Giants than he wound up getting from Philly, then he acts like he wanted to stay here except that Schoen wouldn't return his calls.
The truth is, both sides were ready to move on. And if he just said that, I'd wish him all the luck in the world. But he insists on making it appear as though he was acting more honorably than the Giants.
I wish the guy no ill will.
They offered him more money than the eagkes offered TWICE..They tried to re-sign him multiple times and he turned them down
I wish the guy no ill will.
I suspect it has more to do with the media and fans mocking the Giants for letting him walk - which isn’t the right narrative anyway, I think he always wanted to end up in Philly
As mentioned many times, Giants should have traded him to wherever but Philly mid-season last year, taken the 2nd or 3rd or 4th round pick and moved on
Regardless, that moron Philly coach and one of their players blew a game with dumb decisions and a dropped pass? Haha fuck them
Tomlinson is the guy we miss the most. Not Barkley. I wanted Barkley to come back two years ago. He fucked himself a passed on a better off than the one he got then. Blamed the Giants. Me I'll take the great DT we let walk for nothing to get the WR Golloday(yeah ) and have not be able to stop the run since.
If you love Barkley and think he was a winning player here, you missed a lot of games. The easy passes like tonight for first downs that he routinely dropped, the times we needed to run out the clock and he ran out of bounds, and all the times we needed to score quickly and he cut back inside for another 2 yards that cost us 15 seconds,
He is a nice guy and a talented player. He is also a dumb player who can’t make a clutch play to save his life.
Why?
Nice to let the eagles enjoy that side of him now
It was a tie game. How did Nabers not converting that 4th down play cost the Giants the game? You remember there was no such thing as field goal range on Sunday, right?
I remember during the hype around the 2018 draft some scouts were saying Barkley could play wide receiver with his speed and hands. He may have one of the worst set of hands in the NFL. For every spectacular catch the guy makes, he drops two easy ones. He is closer to a guy who has to come off the field on 3rd down because if he is in you know they won’t (or at least shouldn’t) throw to him.

What does “there was still TDs” mean? There are always TDs available. Did Nabers drop the ball in the end zone? The one yard line? No. He stopped a drive that was by no means certain, or even likely, to end in a TD. It stopped a drive that could have ended in a TD.
I don’t know why some posters won’t walk back incorrect statements they make.
Don’t be obtuse…perfect call….he was wide open and had the 1st down. A running play wouldn’t guarantee he would get the 1st down. Don’t make excuses when not accurate.
BARKLEY DROPPED A BALL MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD CATCH. HE BROKE OUR HEARTS MANY TIMES IN THE CLUTCH. REMEMBER THE MNF GAME V PACKERS?
No fans deserve this more. You just lost at home, in front of a national audience, to a team that is so awful they had to go to a silent count at home last week.
And your prize offseason acquisition was the very directly involved in costing you the game. Sure looks like you are picking up where you left off last year!
He’s a flawed player and his receiving skills in particular were all hype. I remember when drafted there was talk he could easily be a great WR if he wasn’t an RB.
No.
Last week lost a 9 leg parlay because I had AJ Brown over 5.5 catches. He had 5.
Last night lost a 10 leg parlay because I had Jake Elliott over 7.5 points. He had 7.
Hate is a term used on this site by people who don’t understand the word. Rooting against a guy in a game is not hate. If some actual tragedy befell Barkley tomorrow, there would be nothing but best wishes for him on this site. Nobody would be reveling in it.
Nobody on this site hates Saquon Barkley or Daniel Jones. If you think they do, you don’t know what the word means, or you are blinded by your own biases.
If you think Barkley is a better football player than Andrew Thomas or Dexter Lawrence - then you didnt watch many Giants games.

Not to belabor the point, but from Sy's write up:
When he is eventually injured... We can really say.... There's the Barkley we remember.
I remember this well because Fatman in Charlotte was screaming at everyone that clock management was stupid because it was important for the Giants to immediately hit the 30-point milestone they had failed to reach with MacAdoo.

You don't go down at the one when you need a TD to take the lead. You do it when you only need to kill the clock or, maybe, if you only need the chip shot FG to win.
Not when you need the TD, because you can't presume it. You could have a false start. You could get stuffed.
Also, in the situation you mention, the Panthers could have called timeout and then what? If you sneak it in from the one the next play, you've only used up a few seconds, while taking a big risk of not scoring at all.
That's the last play to criticize Barkley about.
I like Singletary so at least there's that. If he can rumble for 1000+ on good YPC we can forgive and forget.
PS fuck Philly.

The drop on the final drive, however, was an absolute back-breaker. Giants likely win if he brings that in.
Sy said likely. You said it cost us the game. Own up to it man. You are belaboring a point you are wrong about. Time to move on.
Dumb comment Jeff….younhave to agree that if SB catches the ball, game over….HC didn’t drop it
lol weridos on this site.
He's an Eagle, he's an enemy, fuck him, tried to play the victim 2 times here when he was offered $ and lied. He's a snake.
Bingo

HC decided not to go for an easy FG in the first quarter and go for it on 4th and 4. Came back to bite them in the ass.
Eagles RB position hasn't been a problem in the past due to the OL - and they did it by committee.
If Barkely stays healthy sure he'll be a top stat RB - but that's just because they've dumped by committee. Gainewell is hardly playing and I didn't see a third back play at all.
Telling stat: Barkely's longest run was 11 yards. He really doesn't make people miss in the open field and has sort of become a physical type back - which lends itself to injury.
Just because people don't act in a way that I think is hateful does not mean they do not hate.
I think there is plenty of real hate in sports with fans and players, the hate that only a few actually admit. Where there is passion, the recipe for hate exists.

Barkley’s drop still resulted in a FG and 6 point lead. The Defense got carved up in 60 seconds. Then the Eagles got the ball back and could have gotten in FG range had Hurts not thrown an awful pass.

Agree. He was 22-95, avg 4.3, long 11. That's not bad but behind that O line it's not special either. Bijan Robinson was clearly the superior RB in the game.
Don't blame fans for taking glee in it - he was all over social media - editing videos of him in Eagles gear without really thanking NY Giants fans, right?
a barkley drop on an awful siriani playcall capped off with a hurts pick was a golden trifecta.

Even the radio announcers were saying at the time, “Just take the points, man!“
Going for it on 4th at that point is something a David does against a Goliath, like they think they won’t get another chance. Not a move by a SB contender and game favorite at home.

No doubt. You saw more elusiveness and breakaway ability from Bijan.

Not really a fan of taking a play - even points - in the very beginning of the game and applying it to the final score.
Ebb and flow - change of events - can all come into play resulting in different outcomes.
But I do agree - take the points there. When did fourth and three become so brazen?

I would have but some coin on their kicker nailing a 60 yarder to be honest - which is becoming a problem for me and the NFL.
Getting the ball back with 30 seconds and down by 3 or less is no longer a "long shot".
It's now a 50-50 proposition.
I wonder if HC's will consider allowing a return, eatting some time, and trying to pin the opposition within the 20.
Trust your special teams to make a play!!!!!
I like Singletary so at least there's that. If he can rumble for 1000+ on good YPC we can forgive and forget.
PS fuck Philly.
Meh I watched most of the game and last week too. He looks exactly the same as when he was on the Giants. Some nice runs, a lot of no gain/negative runs when the blocking isn't there and a huge drop in crunch time.
Fuck your rules. With literally nothing else to get excited about the Giants, Eagle fans being mad is always a great consolation prize and the fact it has to do with an ex-Giant? I'm going to gloat and gloat again because, F the Eagles.

but Barkley still looks terrific. It was a bad job from NYG front office. Going back to how they handled the position when they drafted him through this past off-season when they finally addressed the OL with good FA signings only to let the guy walk.

Don't listen. Never not annoying.
Yep. I saw what you saw, Barkley just running right into tackles and not taking holes that are there.

100% Stu. It amazes me how many fans can't take context into consideration. He's Saquon Barkley. We know everything about the guy. Eric from BBI would average 6 ypc behind that OL with Brown & Smith at WR, and I still think it's hilarious the Eagles felt the need to sign him to stick it to the Giants. Sure - build your team around the coach-killer Barkley, who's been unexplainably poor in pressure situations over the last 5 years and it showed up again. His inability to convert those memorable plays are part of the reason Schoen didn't want to pony up for him.
I wish the guy no ill will.
This
Then proclaims last night - via Joe Buck - that the Giants didn't offer him anything?
No one is hating on Barkley, we're just enjoying one of the few positive football moments that has gone our way.
Our #2 overall pick hopped from our team to our biggest rival ever, in his second game he dropped the ball in front of their moron fans and people on here don't understand why this is funny or we're getting excited lol
Oh yeah that's right, when Eric Lindros went to the Rangers, they didn't have any snide comments over in that city.
He had one of his best catches for a td last week and then one of his worst drops this week.
I'm kind of glad for SB. He suffered behind the shittiest OL possible of all time.
He was a class player while here and I'll always show respect towards him. Although, I do wish he was with Houston instead of philly.

Fuck Barkley.
First off, Barkley did not cost them the game and second, you're an idiot. He's in a better place and you don't like it. Yes we get it. Just another homer Giants fan
Didn't a baseball team do that? Put up a banner because they won a wild card game?
Cleveland Indians? Tampa Bay Rays?
STFU with your "look at yourself in the mirror first" outlook. Eagles suck, as do their fans. It's still funny the way it went down, no matter what.
Screw Philly!
- Barkley dropping the game ending catch.
- defense letting cousins go down in 4 plays to score.
- Hurts throwing a horrific ball with plenty of time left to win the game as its intercepted to end the game.
- Having Joe Buck soak into his tears that team he swallowed all night blew the game.
That was one of the most enjoyable non-Giants games I ever watched. And I got a feeling they have a few more of them up their sleeve this year.
[quote] players ever. People were acting like they were geniuses. Davis and Dean might be busts. Carter and Smith have some attributes but neither look like they are ready to play a full game. Their run defense was pathetic, especially Huff on the edge. You can't have him out there on first or second downs as teams will just exploit him on the run. [/quote
Carter fell due to his off field stuff but he certainly isn't the "generational" talent crap that was spouted but some draft gurus and many here. There was also some concerns about his work ethic. We will see long run but somehow Howie Roseman the greatest GM in league history has drafted crappy players and over paid for Barkley no matter how good he does.
Just awesome to see

All of you that are saying F-Barkley please bring that same energy on that day. I love Barkley. Best player by far in a dismal time in this franchise’s history. Now that he’s gone this team is one injury away to a WR of being unwatchable. Who are we kidding.
If you love Barkley and think he was a winning player here, you missed a lot of games. The easy passes like tonight for first downs that he routinely dropped, the times we needed to run out the clock and he ran out of bounds, and all the times we needed to score quickly and he cut back inside for another 2 yards that cost us 15 seconds,
He is a nice guy and a talented player. He is also a dumb player who can’t make a clutch play to save his life.
THIS.
Some players are more than the sum of their parts. Barkley is less than the sum of his parts. He is a losing player. Glad to stick his energy onto the Eagles and watch the curse take hold.
