The Buccaneers had a few lapses of logic that cost them this football game.  The Bucs rushed for 139 yards against the Broncos averaging 6.3 yards per carry but the Bucs didn’t stay with it throwing the ball way too often.  Brian Griese started the game and he completed 13 of 19 passes for 88 yards.  He left the game due to injury and was replaced by Jeff Garcia who almost brought the team back to win but they fell just a bit short.  Garcia completed 13 of 17 passes for 93 yards with 1 TD and 1 interception.  Antonio Bryant was the leading receiver in this game for the Bucs with 7 grabs for 58 yards (8.3 avg).  Earnest Graham (80 yards) and Warrick Dunn (87 yards) both had solid games rushing and receiving.  The Bucs would be smart to involve the RBs much more in the offense as they are light at WR.  The Bucs’ defense played good enough to win this game holding the Broncos to 16 points and 333 yards of total offense.  The Buccaneers are now 3-2 on the season.
