“A perfect weather to start the season at the Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia. Tampa Bay was kicking
but Donovan McNabb was unable to complete his first pass, while the offensive line had done a lot of
pushes... McNabb also felt down on a g-f-i on the next turn, trying to pick up the ball. At the 4th turn,
Mitchell (Eagles) was knocked down, a receiver (but come back at the next kick off), but they still got the
ball during the Buccs were knocking down many players.
James Trash (Eagles) was going alone at the 5th turn and felt down on a g-f-i at 5 squares of the td zone,
but Tampa Bay couln't used it at their advantage because of a missed dodge rolled (even though rerolled). So
Thrash woke up, picked up the ball and scored the only td of the game at the 7th turn.
A nice try to score in 2 turn for the Tampa Bay Buccs, but Chris Simms missed his pass to Mike Alstott.
Simeon Rice had done a foul against Corey Simon, who was KOed but came back for the 2nd half, not the
same for the poor Ronde Barber (Tampa Bay), who did not came back for the last half (had 2 chances to
came back).
End of the first half: 1-0 Eagles

The second half started with a short kick by the Eagles, and the Buccs offensive line, with Warren Sapp,
had taken advantage of the position because of a pitch invasion. Result: Freddie Mitchell was BH and
Carlos Emmons was SI (Smashed Collar Bone -1 ST). During this time, Chris Simms picked
up the ball. At the next turn, Tampa Bay Buccanneers completely dominate the field, helped by that pitch
invasion, an easy run for a td is coming... But Corey Simon, in a great shape, knocked a player
in a blitz to join Chris Simms who was carrying the ball. But Jerome McDougle fell down on a g-f-i marking another turn
over against the Eagles, what's happening for the Philadelphia Eagles players to always fall like that?!
The Buccs had showed to their oppponent that they have character and built up a stong position, near
of the td zone, but again Eagles weren't giving up and knocked down Mike Alstott at the end of the 3rd
turn. At the 4th turn, Buccs weren't able to pierce the wall of Philadelphia, but the Eagles hasn't done
at their turn. Paul Grasmanis (Eagles) had done an amazing block against Warren Sapp, knocking him
down (2 dices for Sapp), at the 5th turn.
The 6th turn of the Buccs was "trying" to open the lines, and that was not possible for the moment.
Joe Jurevicious was koed by Corey Simon before their turn ended in a flash. The computer's rollw weren't in
any help for the two teams, like the Buccs "losing" their 7th turn by a db block dice...
Chris Simms (Buccs) had done an hard try to score at the last turn, but failed to dodge for the td, result:
1-0 Eagles, Ronde Barber was still sleeping on the bench at the endgame.”
