Eagles back to practice a day after lopsided loss at home

“I ain’t going to cry, but this is a dream come true for me”, Winston said. “I’ve always wanted to play here my whole life since I was a little boy”. I ran a poll on BGN on Monday morning asking if fans want to see the team tank for a draft pick or try to make the playoffs and 79% of 1211 voters said they want to see the team lose out. “I was even singing the fight song out there on the field”.

It was just a rough day all around for the Eagles.

Think about it; the Eagles were taken apart, at home, by a rookie quarterback in Jameis Winston and a team that won back-to-back games for the first time in 31 games. He returned the second one 20 yards for a touchdown with 4:16 to play to complete the scoring.

“If we let this loss linger, it’ll be another embarrassing loss”, Logan said. Martin had several long runs on the day including gains of 84 and 58 yards. That record belongs to Barry Sanders with 237 yards back in 1994. The Tampa Bay Bucs seeks consecutive wins for the first time in two years, while the Eagles are forced to start a former starting quarterback. “It would be great to win two in a row, great to get to.500”. David entered the game against Philadelphia leading the team with 81 tackles and was the only player in the National Football League with more than 80 tackles, more than two sacks, more than six pass breakups and one forced fumble this year.

“I apologize for how we played football today”, said linebacker Connor Barwin after the game.

MOVING THE CHAINS: Winston and the Buccaneers were outstanding on third downs, converting 9 of 12 while building a 35-14 lead.

Sunday’s record-breaking performances by Bucs QB Jameis Winston and RB Doug Martin have both in contention for the NFL’s top weekly honors.

OPPORTUNITY: The Bucs are still seeking their first 300-yard game from Winston, and Sunday he’ll face a Colts defense that ranks 29th in passing defense, allowing of 279 passing yards per game. On third down from the 4, Winston found Russell Shepard in the back of the end zone for a 21-7 lead. Martin joins O.J. Simpson and Corey Dillon as the only RBs with two games with 235 yards.

The Bucs opened the second quarter in style, with Winston hitting wide receiver Vincent Jackson with a 13-yard touchdown pass. Then the Bucs’ big-play magic struck again. Some are blaming DeMarco Murray for giving up and not making an effort to help right the ship, but more than anything it just might be that the players aren’t responding to Kelly and his orders, with his complicated offensive plans and schemes falling on a flat, no longer loyal locker room. Jacquies Smith recovered but was stripped by Zach Ertz and Philadelphia got the ball back at its 14. The veteran started 60 of 62 games with the New York Jets before signing with the Eagles as a free agent in 2014.

“A game like this will shake your confidence and that’s our biggest enemy because it can destroy you”, Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis said.
