Green Bay vs. Tampa Bay - Postgame Quotes - Tampa Bay

Regular Season - Packers Win 23-15

HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY:
"I'm very disappointed -- not just because we are 0-2, but I'm disappointed over the way we are playing. Our task is that we have to start improving."

"These were two big road games and two games in which we were not very competitive."

"We had a streak like this last year, but it came in mid-season, not at the beginning."

"We have to start playing smart."

"Our running game failed because we failed to open any holes. We weren't able to move it."

"We can't keep on self-destructing."

(on the penalty at the end of the first half) "Some of our guys were holding them (Packers) down, and I guess they were."

"We haven't been playing well; we have to play better."

"Green Bay takes some chances -- that's when we have to rush well against them."

"Coming here (to Green Bay) we seem to fall down. It's the same pattern, we self-destruct. We have to play well at the beginning of the game."

"We can't make mistakes, have penalties and expect to win."

"The two fumbles hurt, and the guys have to make the catches -- it wasn't all the quarterback."

"They (Packers) had the chances and took advantage of them."

"We're not anywhere near the top. That's keeping us from being competitive."

"We have not played well in this division. We have to play better so that we can win at home."

DEFENSIVE TACKLE WARREN SAPP:
"We have to play harder. We just gave them the ball at point-blank range -- you can't do that."

"(Brett) Favre, he's the best. You have to take your hat off to them (Packers); they're good."

"We have to climb back into the race. We have a good team here, we just have to play better. We have to look in the mirror, we have to look at ourselves."

"Reggie (White), he's the best. He is one of those people who can summon that kind of talent at will. That's why he's good."

RUNNING BACK MIKE ALSTOTT:
"We moved the ball, we just made the mistakes. You can't self-destruct."

"We have confidence. We have the right tools. There are 14 more games, we're just going to work harder."

WIDE RECEIVER JACQUEZ GREEN:
(on his runback of a punt for a touchdown) "The others picked up their blocks and the first lane opened. It gave us a second life."

RUNNING BACK WARRICK DUNN:
"When you can't run the football, that hurts. We had too many turnovers."

UARTERBACK TRENT DILFER:
"Being 0-2, I am disappointed. This was our greatest nightmare."

"There is a lot of football to go. We have to get better -- that's a good challenge."

"All games are huge, but our preparation for the next will be a little more intense."

"We killed ourselves this week with turnovers. We didn't execute."

"We've got to get our running game going. We have two good backs."

(on Reggies White) "He was a big factor today."

(overall on the loss) "It's a collective effort when we lose, it's a collective effort when we win."

"I knew the cramp was coming, it just wore down. When I went down with the cramp it was everywhere."

"I have to play through it. The leg has to heal."

"We can't turn the ball over -- fumbling and interception, we're all to blame."

"The Packers are a very good football team, especially against us."

"We'll come back strong."

"When we do our job, we will win."
