Joe has some quotes from Raheem The Dream after the Bucs loss to the Redskins.

“This was a tough one. When you put yourself in position to win and don’t, it’s not easy. They fought. They did what we asked them to do. We need to go back in the lab and work. If we don’t stop the big play, we will continue to struggle. We will continue to lose these types of games.

“I’m not sure how we could get a better start than we received. The defense started fast and we got a fumble. We get it and the offense sticks it right in there. That’s how you want to start a football game. We have to figure out how to start more like that.”

On Aqib Talib’s play:

“He had three picks but I bet he feels awful about the [Santana Moss] touchdown. But that’s the life of a corner. He’ll be fine.”

On Josh Johnson:

“He did a nice job of managing the football game. We just have to get him better and more comfortable on third down. Failure on third down are the things that hurt you. He can make the plays when they are there. He just has to be more consistent and he will be fine.”

On the critical third down call deep in Redskins territory late in the game that failed.

“The third down call was a quarterback couble-option type of ploay. It was a great call. It was the stuff we wanted. The Redskins just made a great play to force us to kick a field goal.

“We got the ball back with two minutes left and had a chance to win it or tie it. We didn’t get it done.”

On the loss:

“I am disappointed in this team. We didn’t show the killer instinct. We have improved but we are not where we want to be. They gave themselves a chance but we have to go back to the drawing board and find a way to win a football game.”
