Why are we not talking about Saquan Barkley?
Agreed this is QB bias by a mostly ignorant mediaI’ll say again, I would vote for Saquon, while Allen and Lamar had amazing years, Saquon was the most impactful IMO, he was the spark that made the Eagles O click, without him the Eagles wouldn’t be close to the Super Bowl IMO
Its tough because I think the Eagles have the best GM and RB is tied so closely with oline play. I'd be okay with any of the three winning MVP, tbh.I’ll say again, I would vote for Saquon, while Allen and Lamar had amazing years, Saquon was the most impactful IMO, he was the spark that made the Eagles O click, without him the Eagles wouldn’t be close to the Super Bowl IMO
it's interesting that the Eagles backup RB had his worst yds/carry of his career this year.Its tough because I think the Eagles have the best GM and RB is tied so closely with oline play. I'd be okay with any of the three winning MVP, tbh.

I'm under the assumption that the Eagles had a top 5 OL this year but in previous years it was the best. I'm willing to concede if I'm overestimating the Eagles OL
do you have a link for this report?12) Philadelphia Eagles
Regular-Season Grade: 81.1 (B-)
Regular Season + Postseason Grade: 80.2 (B-; 8th)
This rank for the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line is a little unfair because it’s influenced by their poor Week 18 showing when they rested their starting OL. Still, the Chiefs and Bills both rested starters and didn’t slump through the rankings, so this also highlights the Eagles’ strength of depth concerns.
Philadelphia’s OL was all over the map in the final few weeks of the regular season. They ranked 27th over the final four weeks with D+ grades against the Commanders and Steelers. When you combine those two grades with an F against the Ravens, a C- against the Buccaneers, and a C against the Packers, there was certainly cause for concern.
When you look at the Eagles’ numbers, it’s hard to imagine them as a top-10 unit. Their 40.6% pressure rate was the worst in the NFL, and their 9.1% sack rate was the second-worst, but they had the second-longest time to throw at 3.17 seconds.
Their run blocking was also good without being exceptional. Philadelphia’s OL clears the way for an average of 1.00 RBYBC/rush (eighth in the NFL) and was ranked ninth in RBWR.
In terms of individual accolades, Lane Johnson finished fifth in OT PBWR and RBWR, Jordan Mailata was 14th for pass blocking, and Cam Jurgens was 11th for iOL pass blocking. There’s no shortage of high-end talent, but their ranking doesn’t match their potential.
The Eagles head to the Super Bowl with two of the top four OL performances over the past three weeks. This one is even more impressive, given they were dealing with injuries to Jurgens and Landon Dickerson. Both were able to play roles, but neither was anywhere close to 100%.
These games have shown just how good this line can be, and this ranking really reflects inconsistency in Philadelphia’s performances this season.![]()

This stuff is hilarious to me as someone who actually watched the games. An F versus the Ravens when they dominated the trenches in that game from start to finish? Oy vey.12) Philadelphia Eagles

The decision worked out in the end. He gave up the all time record to increase the likelihood he walks into the Super Bowl healthy and that’s exactly what he’s gonna do. He does have a solid chance of breaking another record - the all time rushing yards for a season for both regular season and playoffs. I think he only needs about 40-50 yards to get that.Barkley should be the MVP. I get it's QB driven so it'll be Allen or Jackson but Barkley put the team on his shoulders and ran them into the Super Bowl. 2000yds is a great accomplishment and unfortunately didn't get that chance to break the all time rushing record.

I completely agree sitting him the final game keeping him healthy and I did not know about the regular and playoffs. Good stuff!The decision worked out in the end.
