Detroit won’t be denied this year.

It is a 17-game season, not 16 games. Every healthy player should play. Saquon should have an opportunity to break the record!! The Eagles are playing "SCARY" football. How can Sirianni claim he has a tough team when he is scared to play them. His decision not to allow Barkley to obtain the rushing record is wrong!!! He does not believe in his players. Saquon has a greater chance of becoming the all-time rushing leader than the Eagles winning the SuperBowl. It would be great momentum for the playoffs. Stop being a "Scary" football team and let Saquon get the record!!!

21:07 you don't have to go back 2 years ago. The Eagles beat the Bills just last season. It's fair to say both teams are better than last year & the Eagles run the ball now.

IT'S THE FREAKING GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

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

Imagine what Burrow would do with this offense. Picket definitely makes me miss Hurts.

19:29 looks like Kenny felt Lane Johnson giving up inside leverage so he bailed to that side forcing the Defensive end to redirect his momentum. It worked on that play, but Pickett bailing early might suggest the overall height of the offensive line is one of the reasons why both Kenny & Jalen bail so quickly.

Such a close game the only thing that kept the cooboys from winning was that darn scoreboard.😀

GO BIRDS!!!!….YAAHHHH!!!

I find that Eagles fans who get angry about criticism for somebody like Jalen hurts is directly congruent with their own level of concern about the quarterback play and having empirical data shown to them, makes them angry… I think when Eagles fans are completely confident about a player and somebody says something negative. Their level of anger is not as intense because they have a confidence that they know the person is really a great player.

I can't understand why Eagles QBs bail from perfectly clean pockets. Or fail to throw to wide open primary reads. One of life's mysteries

Great show guys. So informative!

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?

Great analysis and lesson to the viewers about Pickett not dropping straight back and drifting to the left. 👍

Remember the last Giants game from last season

Perfect answer by Merrill.

Fantastic breakdown gentleman!!

Thank you

Andrew Booth should have passed off that corner route turned inside to AJB on the smash (banjo?), but it was def Devonta's slick routes that threw him for a loop.

Even when giving a compliment Geoff cannot help himself but to take a dig/complaint. There can be objectivity without negativity 34:47

No one was greater than getting in and out of breaks, out of necessity due to a lacking in the speed area, as Jerry Rice.

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

Greg Cosell is such a resource. Inside the Birds always brings it... But the episodes with Greg are the best!🎉

Thanks guys! Educational and entertaining.

Want to revisit my Tanner McKee take? Or we all fans now

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.

I don’t know if the casual viewer of this channel has any idea how much of a privilege it is for us fans to have this trio breaking down tape for us week in and week out. Greg cosell may be one of the best to ever do it, on par with the great Ray Didinger. And the Geoff and Adam are two of the brightest covering any team in the league, and we’re blessed to have them exclusively going inside the birds for us. Thanks for another amazing season gentlemen, here’s to a happy and blessed new year to us all!

Thanks for all the work you guys do! Really appreciate your show, alway keeping the us fans in the loop! Happy Holidays fellas!

Merrill Reese is a legend!

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!

The pass rush has been missing since Nakobe Dean was injured against Washington. Losing Dean was probably the biggest reason they lost that game. Having Jordan Davis back against Dallas did a lot more than people realize. Without Sweat, Davis and Dean, Washington just had fun with the defense in the second half.

No love for Kevin Klob?! 😁 Any word if Sydney Brown will be suspended? Great podcast gentlemen.👍 Happy New Year's!

*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.

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..

Merrill is a true EAGLES fan. I love hearing him talk about my EAGLES!!!!

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 KZbin is real, love you my guy,

Love Merrill ❤ hate when Eagles aren't on local TV, but then I get to hear Merrill Reese and Mike Quick

Inside the Birds 🦅 I believe it is the right decision to rest Saquon and other starters

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

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'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.

Great interview Merril is the best go birds

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!

Just because you rest players don't guarantee a trip to the SB. Imagine losing in the first round after you rest everybody. Or getting hurt in the 1st qtr of the first playoff game. It's not a meaningless game.

We love Merrill Reese . The man knows the Birds inside and out. Go Birds

Well That's a wrap on the eagles season 1st round loss in the playoffs Football starters get paid crazy money to play . Playing a playoff game is not for the afraid of some risk . Bad move coach 😬

Eagles are still an 11-12 win team without saquon. He would be replaced by passing more which is more efficient than rushing.

Some starters will have to play, some may benefit from additional snaps and game experience…play them.

It's all for one and one for all, or it's not a team. This is a big record and entry into the HOF for Barkley, and a feather in the cap for the whole organization. The odds of winning the SB without the #1 seed is tiny, especially in this years slate of teams. Getting that record is for everyone. Let the players who don't want to play sit and use some back-ups. Get Hurts some playing time to knock off the rust. After a half, put back-ups in and decide on Barkley based on the yards.
