The game report
The gamebook and the play by play of the game
The distance between the site of the Bucs' victory in Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego and this loss at 3Com
Park is only a few hundred miles. All of a sudden, though, it seemed as if the team that won that Super Bowl
title and the one that was been asked to defend it were worlds apart. ``We certainly don't look like the best
team in the league right now,'' Ronde Barber said. ``To tell you the truth, we look pretty darned average.''
