What they're saying about Bucs-Packers

 
Published Dec. 22, 2014

Bucs DE Michael Johnson:

"It's like basketball on grass. They got guys going everywhere. They know what they are doing. It's like a well-oiled machine. They are a good offensive football team."

Bucs coach Lovie Smith:

"When you talk about a frustrating day, this was a frustrating day. I've had some bad ones. This was definitely one of them. … That's just a great football team on the other side. We haven't had many days like this. So maybe we ought to give them a little more credit also."

Bucs QB Josh McCown:

"This has been a trying year, no doubt about it. When you go through that stuff in your life, it's easy to kind of hunker down and say, 'I can't wait until it's over,' or to shut your eyes and say, 'When is it going to be over?' If you do that, you miss what you can gain and what you can learn from later in your life."

Bucs RB Doug Martin:

"Our plan going into the game was to keep the chains moving and keep Aaron Rodgers off the field, but we couldn't do that."

Bucs LB Mason Foster:

"The defense played well. We had a great game plan. The guys were executing, and we played hard. They have a great offense and quarterback. They've put up a lot of points against a lot of people. To be right there and only a couple plays away is tough."
