On to Week 2 and a date in Tampa against a Buccaneers team that stole the show in New Orleans, outscoring the Saints 48-40 and scoring a titanic upset victory. After a three-day weekend off for the players, it’s back to work time for a team that has a great opportunity to bank some victories in these unpredictable days of September. I’m glad the Bucs played as well as they did in New Orleans. They deserve major respect after that game.

- This is a great test for the Eagles’ pass defense.
