Connor Thomas is inquiring whether fans believe the Eagles can reclaim the NFC title or if they face significant competition this season. This question is particularly relevant as NFC teams have made strategic moves, yet they appear to have not significantly narrowed the gap with the Eagles.

With Opening Day approaching on March 27th against the Washington Nationals, concerns arise regarding Ranger Suarez's recurring back issues, which are not ideal for the start of the season. Although he has resumed throwing and reports improvement, his potential absence raises uncertainty about the fifth spot in the Phillies' rotation. Connor will suggest a suitable pitcher to step in should Ranger be unable to start the season.
