PHILADELPHIA -- Despite their limitations, the Andy Reid Philadelphia Eagles seem to know when the stage lights are on, and what to do about it.

The Tony Dungy Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finally, do not.

Which is why the Eagles are going to the second round of the NFL playoffs for the second straight year. And why the Dungy Era in Tampa is apparently over.

The Eagles pounded the Bucs 31-9 Saturday in an NFC Wild Card game before 65,846 at Veterans Stadium. It wasn't even that close.

It means the Eagles go to Chicago Saturday, for the second-round game with the 13-3, NFC Central-champion Bears. It means Dungy, and perhaps a sizable chunk of his team's nucleus, will be working elsewhere next season.
