Another week and another loss in which the Buccaneer defense gave up a ton of big plays. Three touchdown passes from Donovan Nabb gave the Eagles a 21-7 half-time lead and there was nothing realistically Josh Johnson and the offense could do about it in spite of his throwing a pair of nine-yard scoring passes to Kellen Winslow. Twice Johnson threw redzone interceptions and he also fumbled a snap on a 4th down play, the second time they failed to gain a yard on such a gamble. "You should be able to get a yard on anybody and we couldn't do that," Raheem Morris said. "We have to have a better percentage than that. Those are the kinds of things that just can't happen."
