On this week's podcast: A preview the big NFC East showdown between the Eagles and Cowboys, a look back at some classic Birds-Cowboys games, the curious home vs. road fortunes of the Sixers and Flyers, and why shooting coaches need to stay off Twitter.

Even with Golden Tate, how realistic a shot do the Eagles have of winning the NFC East? Tom Moore and Patrick Berkery break down the Birds' chances on this week's podcast. They also say good riddance to the Wing Bowl, and discuss the Sixers' backcourt dilemma and the problematic pace of play in Major League Baseball.

With the Eagles struggling to find their mojo, Tom Moore and Patrick Berkery consider Howie Roseman's impact on the team's play. Tom and Patrick also wonder how much confidence Sixers coach Brett Brown really has in Markelle Fultz, whether or not the Flyers are anything more than a .500 team, and which young players will step up this season for Jay Wright's Villanova Wildcats.

The Sixers are back, without the legitimate third star head coach Brett Brown had hoped to land in the offseason. Can Markelle Fultz develop into that star to complement Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons? Tom Moore and Patrick Berkery discuss, along with some Eagles and Flyers talk, on this week's podcast.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, but are the Eagles desperate enough to go after LeSean McCoy? Tom Moore and Patrick Berkery discuss the many issues plaguing the Eagles as they fight to stay alive in the NFC East, along with a recap of the Flyers' dismal home opener (and Gritty's regular season debut!) and a look at how Sixers head coach Brett Brown could deploy his weapons off the bench.
