A bit early? Never!!! Two weeks of build up ... can't wait!
I'm still shocked that Doc is gone. He was probably one of my all time favorite pitchers all time. I got to see him pitch during his days in Toronto. You just knew anytime he was on the mound, there was a very good chance he was getting a win and double digit strikeouts. Loved him as a Phillie. Now what pisses me off is reading from some Facebook blogs and reading the ridiculous bitterness from Canadians feeling butthurt that all the coverage is showing him as a Phillie and not Jay? Who gives a fuck! Enjoy the time he dominated for both teams and get over yourselves. Anyway, RIP Doc, MLB just lost a wonderful ball player and human being.Eeesh, RIP Doc. Saying it here because they are just joking about it on the MLB forum. You guys will appreciate it.
Ouch.

As long as they have Elliott, they will be a problem... Zeke is no ordinary back, I don't care how good the opposing defense is, you have to account for him at all times and it opens up their passing game. To me the key is to get pressure on Dak early and often, he struggles at times when he's forced into quick throws that aren't part the play design.
I know their defense sucks, but it's a divisional game - always tough and they are starting to gain momentum; they are one of the few teams in the NFC I'm concerned about in the 2nd half of the season - I wish the courts would get on with Zeke's suspension already so we won't have to deal with him.
This is not the same Cowboys team as last year. They are missing a lot of the pieces they had. However....with that said I believe we were better than them last year and definitely better than them this year. With or without Zeke.
A lot of people are forgetting that last year we were beating the shit out of them until they made their comeback. Yes....the game is 60 minutes but we had arguably the worst secondary in the NFL last year and were giving them all they could handle. This year is different. I think we have the better QB, WR's and TE and easily the better defense.
It's going to be an exciting game... should be interesting nonetheless!
He touched a lot of hearts not just in baseball, but a few Flyers players as well. Like I said, he was one of my all time favorites and I really hope he gets into the HOF because he deserves it with his dominance during the day. I could care less if hi hat is a Blue Jay or Phillie as long as he gets his name in Cooperstown. Still can't believe this.Being a Jays fan, he was the best pitcher in franchise history with the exception of Dave Stieb. He was a gamer, and was the only good thing to watch on the Jays during his heyday with us. I can't speak for my fellow "CPBs" (Canadian Prick Bastards, as Wings used to refer to us back in the day) but I'm glad that he got the opportunity to go to a contender at the time, and at least get a taste of the post-season. Fantastic player and an even greater human being (responsible for a tremendous amount of charitable work in the Toronto area)... he will be missed.
That is true.
Is anyone else noticing how a lot of people are downplaying what the Eagles did to the Bronco's defense?

Zeke officially gone for 6 games ... certainly improves our chances against the Pokes, but deep down I wanted to see him in there for our game.
