Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14, Philadelphia Eagles 33
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-5) still have yet to win a game this season and were completely over-matched on Sunday in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles (3-1). Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb was making his first start since breaking a rib in week one, and showed no signs of rust. McNabb threw three touchdowns and 264 yards on 16/21 attempts (76%). Bucs’ quarterback Josh Johnson did not do a good job taking care of the ball and threw three interceptions. He threw the ball a ton, as the Bucs were trying to be extra aggressive against a more talented team. Johnson finished the game with 240 yards on 26/50 attempts and two touchdowns, but had the three interceptions and two fumbles (both recovered). Johnson did do a good job running the ball when the opportunity presented itself. He had 40 yards on 5 carries (8.0 avg).
Kellen Winslow was one of the few bright spots for the Buccaneers. He had two touchdowns and 102 yards on nine receptions (11.3 avg). The Eagles are just flat out better than the Buccaneers in pretty much every aspect of the game though, and were up 7-0 in less than three minutes into the game. The Buccaneers Cadillac Williams did nothing for them, rushing for only eight yards on 10 carries (0.8 avg) and getting tackled in the endzone for a safety. The Bucs need to go back to the drawing board and do whatever they can to get their first win of the year. They will try for that win this Sunday at home against the Carolina Panthers (1-3).
