With 1072 yards, Saquon has jumped into the top 10 in rushing after a very slow start. He should stay in the top 10 after the week is over. He’ll get 1200 or so depending on how much they rest him which is a good bounce back season after his huge workload last year.

A few more seasons like this and that will really help his HoF chances

Attaboys to all Birds fans, first repeat NFC East division championship in 20 years, not easy.

I had been looking forward to the Commanders winning and then me being all na na na, not in our house on the board. Too bad, would’ve been fun.

No sneezes here my friend. The fact is Saquon has had a lot of rushes snuffed for two yards or less. It’s not a criticism of him. Maybe the play calling could be more creative.
Play calling has nothing to do with it. If u said blocking schemes I might agree

OK. I'm not a coach or a game expert. It seems to me blocking schemes would be part of the play call but again, I'm just a guy watching on television.
Well as you said you’re not a coach or a game expert. The play call is the play call. How you block that play is a separate issue.
ex a bad play call would be you can’t call sweep right because they blow it up
I say you can call sweep right you just can’t block it that way That’s why it’s getting blown up
