The Buccaneers looked solid on offense but their defense got pushed around by the Jaguars on Saturday Night.  Jeff Garcia looked great as he completed all 6 of his passes for 43 yards with a TD pass.  Luke McCown replaced him and he looked o.k. completing 9 of 13 passes for 66 yards and he also carried the ball 3 times for 37 yards (12.3 ypc).  Bruce Gradkowski also looked pretty good as he finished the game up completing 7 of 11 passes for 113 yards with a TD pass.  Running back Earnest Graham led the way in the running game for the Bucs with 6 carries for 34 yards (5.7 ypc).  Rookie Kenneth Darby had another semi-decent game with 20 yards on 8 carries (2.5 ypc) with a TD run.  Undrafted rookie Chas Gessner led the way for Bucs’ receivers with 4 catches for 48 yards (12.0 avg).  Mark Jones (53 yarder) and David Boston (19 yarder) each only caught one pass and it was a TD.  The Bucs finished up rushing for 114 yards on 24 carries (4.8 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 30 passes for 208 yards.

The defense got pushed around by the Jaguars.  The Jags carried the football 37 times for 154 yards (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 27 passes for 223 yards.  They have two weeks to improve their situation before the games count.
