Green Bay vs. Tampa Bay - Postgame Quotes - Tampa Bay
Regular Season - Packers Win 21-16
POST-GAME QUOTES: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY:
"We played a good football team. We showed character both offensively and
defensively. The fumbles and turnovers hurt us. We have to regroup and
move on from here.
"This is a 60-minute game, we knew we had to play a good fourth quarter to
win.
"We have the guys to make the big plays.
"Normally, we don't commit turnovers, but this time we lost two. Give them
credit for forcing them.
(on an unplanned 4th-quarter defensive timeout) "We were screwed up, we
had to take the timeout.
"We're leaving here disappointed. We came to win this game.
"They (Packers) were playing hurt. They showed a lot of heart today.
"(Warrick) Dunn is a big play guy. After the fumble he said he would come
back, and he did.
"We wanted to run inside, we wanted to get the ball to Warrick (Dunn) and
we did.
"There were some great players out there . Their team rose up and made some
big plays. Their defense is always tough.
"The better team usually wins. We play them again this year, and hopefully
we will be the better team.
"Their defense put a good rush on us. We lost 10 points on two turnovers.
That hurt.
"Championships are not won in September or October; a lot happens between
now and the Super Bowl.
"Our special teams did some things we normally don't do. But, we regrouped
and made some big plays.
"You gotta win the home games to win the division."
OFFENSIVE TACKLE JERRY WUNSCH:
"Playing against Reggie (White) is
a great experience. You have to concentrate. He is special, one of the best
I have ever played against."
DEFENSIVE END CHIDI AHANOTU:
"To win you have to play 60 minutes; we played about 40.
"The turnovers killed us. We had the opportunities to make the plays, but
didn't.
"We came back in the second half and stuffed them, but we had to make some
plays and didn't.
LINEBACKER HARDY NICKERSON:
"Our motto is to hang in there because we know we have the big players to
do it (make the big play).
"We came back, we showed our character.
(on his block of a field goal) "I found the crease and slipped through.
It was through their wing and their tight end."
RUNNING BACK WARRICK DUNN:
"The first half turnovers hurt, but in the second half we stuck together
and fought back.
"We killed ourselves.
(on his fumble) "Two guys held me up, one stripped the ball.
"We'll learn from this game."
QUARTERBACK TRENT DILFER:
"This game came down to execution. They executed better than us. There were
good plays by them, good plays by us.
"This team showed in the second half what it is made of. We had the chance,
we just didn't execute.
"We thought a lot about this team (the Packers); we will learn from it.
"Green Bay's defense was much simpler than I thought it would be. They
played hard and good.
"In the second half, we put good plays on top of each other.
(on Gabe Wilkins' intereception)
"I should have made the tackle. The next time I am going high.
