Sounds like a student and historian of the game.. he’s seen winners, he’s seen bad decisions, he’s seen good decisions.. he’s seen the consequences of both.. this was a test of maturity and focus by this team and head coach.. let’s go get that trophy!!!! 🦅🦅🦅
I know how tough that is as a EAGLES fan living 10 miles from N.Y.C. Living in Giants territory is not easy. But i have the EAGLES app so i can hear Merrill and Mike do the game on the radio.
A great interview of an Eagles legend, Merrill Reese. Thx, DGunn! I am disappointed to hear that Merrill thinks Saquon won’t be suited up for Sunday. I understand the reason why but for everything Saquon has done for the team, I feel it would be fair to give him a shot at breaking the record. Go 🦅Birds!
Thanks DGunn and Merrill. I'm with Merrill. I agreed with Merrill although it seemed like 90% of the Eagles fans diagreed with me. Sirianni said today most of the starters including Barkley won't play against the Giants. Happy New Year!
As much as I would like to see him break the record, this team hasn't had a bye since week 5. I agree with Merrill if he needed 25 yards, that's much more manageable. Hopefully offering it up for a greater prize! GO BIRDS
Im with Merril, remember what happen last year Aj & Sidney got hurt. Plus he needs over a 100, the Giants could stuff the box all game and make him it real tough, u have to play alot more then just Saquon. I would love to see him get it but its not worth it. Hey if we won the Washington game we would play this game. Yes Feb. 4th 2018. Go Birds. Merril is the best.
Man I just love Merrill Reese,else, hope and pray, that he live a long healthy life, because Mr Merrill Reese is a good person in real life, what you see on tv,,or UA-cam is real, love you my guy,
I hardly EVER disagree with big Reese but this time...yea.... whole heartedly strongly disagree. If he needed 200 yards, fine sit him. To put things into clearer perspective, last game saquon rushed for 176 yards against the giants. Averaged 10.4 yards per carry. He only touched the ball 17 times. He was pulled EARLY from the game on top of that. Now do yourselves a favor and go look up his stats from this season. Look at the yards per game. This would be a CAKE WALK! Simply put. We are acting SCARED! To get this close and pull him is criminal
*BASED ON ODDS ALONE - **#Saquon** 💯 SHOULD GO FOR **#SA2100** yds. THAT IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY.* I *THINK* we can make it to the Super Bowl, but the path there is 💯 NOT even a 90 odds. The Eagles *SHOULD PLAY **#FirstTo100Yds** btwn Jalen & Saquon* & if he gets it before Jalen gets rust off in 100yds, it happens; else, Saquon doesn’t. It’s that simple.
What precedent are we setting when winning the game is not the main thing BUT getting a record is? The total yards record is STILL out there for season and playoff! SB can take that hunger out productively and grind toward a SB… The MEDIA with THIS as a distraction is an abomination…when the confetti falls on you do you even remember personal achievements?
It’s not that big of a deal to you but not allowing him to go for it and God forbid we lose in the playoffs and this season will be for nothing. Injuries can happen anytime!
Philly has a loser mentality. I wonder if other coaches would sit Barkley. You can tell from our Eagles history that we are a loser organization. I guarantee we don’t make it to Super Bowl due to our loser mentality
Merrill you playing scare i can see Barkley want it..a lot of IF.i got a big IF.what if they don't win the SB.what if nick loose the locker room? they're obligated to win the SB.you don't care because is not your record..

IT'S THE FREAKING GIANTS!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad to hear someone with sense address the Saquon Barkley situation I mean it’s a no-brainer for me
Love Merrill ❤ hate when Eagles aren't on local TV, but then I get to hear Merrill Reese and Mike Quick

Merrill Reese is a legend!
Perfect answer by Merrill.

Remember the last Giants game from last season
Im with Merril, remember what happen last year Aj & Sidney got hurt.

I'm with HC with his decision whether they go for records or not. We have 4 games till the Lombardi trophy comes back to Philly.
Man I just love Merrill Reese,else, hope and pray, that he live a long healthy life, because Mr Merrill Reese is a good person in real life, what you see on tv,,or UA-cam is real, love you my guy,
Merrill is just awesome!!!
Merrill is a true EAGLES fan. I love hearing him talk about my EAGLES!!!!
We love Merrill Reese . The man knows the Birds inside and out. Go Birds

Inside the Birds 🦅 I believe it is the right decision to rest Saquon and other starters
They’re not risking him
