BY IRA KAUFMAN

For two sublime weeks, Buc fans were sitting on top of the world. Welcome back to Planet Earth.

First, some perspective.

There’s no shame in losing to the defending NFC champions on a stormy Monday. The Eagles are going to win a lot of games this fall and Tampa Bay’s 2-0 getaway meant Philadelphia wasn’t likely to take the Bucs for granted.

Instead, they took the Bucs to the woodshed.

This was a prime-time beatdown as Philadelphia won all three phases by wide margins. Tampa Bay couldn’t run or stop the run. By the time the Bucs scored their only touchdown, the Eagles were cruising with a 25-3 advantage in the fourth quarter.

In case you haven’t noticed, Tampa Bay’s first two opponents currently sit at a combined 0-6. The Vikings no longer excel in close games while the Bears are staring at a 3-14 season.

The Eagles might finish 14-3. Big difference.

On a night Rondé Barber thanked Eagle fans for turning out for his Hall of Fame halftime ceremony, thousands of Philly fans stayed to savor every last moment. All that was missing was the cheesesteak.
