For Bucs coach John McKay: What happened on Bill Capece's blocked field goal?
The snap was high, and we didn't kick it (through). He (Steve Wilson) almost snapped it over his head. We should be able to kick a field goal. This is the big time.
Again for McKay: Did poor field position for the Bucs' offense keep it from getting rolling?
You're not ever gonna get field position if you can't get a first down.
Once more for McKay: Was the second half by Doug Williams his best ever?
He's played some real good halves before.
For Bucs center Steve Wilson: Do you think your snap was too high?
I guess it was. I can't really tell when I snap it. It felt alright. Maybe it threw them off. I'll have to take a look (at the game films).
For Bucs holder Larry Swider: Was the snap high?
It was a little high, but the ball was down (in place). Billy hit it well. If he (Ted Hendricks) hadn't hit it, the ball would have been through and we would have gone home with a win.
Again for Swider: What was the feeling in the huddle?
We were very calm. Billy wasn't tense or any- thing. It was a matter of inches of it being through.
For Bucs placekicker Bill Capece: What happened on the fatal kick?
They just penetrated. That darn Hendricks., I knew he was good at blocking kicks. I just kicked it normal. I jacked it. Everything seemed to me to go pretty well.
For Bucs wide receiver Kevin House: What was the play on which you were able to beat Lester Hayes twice for long receptions?
We call it a fade pattern. I just run upfield and do what I can.
Again for House: Did Hayes say anything to you during the game?
Once, he said "good pattern."
For Bucs tight end Jimmie Giles: Were you surprised at the passing success in the second half?
No. They were playing us man-to-man. We don't think anybody can cover Kevin House and Gordon Jones and Theo Bell one-on-one.
Again for Giles: What was the difference in the two halves offensively?
We just made up our minds to play because we are a championship baliclub.
For Bucs linebacker Richard Wood: What was the strategy of the defense on Oakland's winning drive?
Give them only the short stuff. Make sure they don't get it into the end zone.-
For Bucs quarterback Doug Williams: Was the first long completion to House the turn-around for the offense?
That was a start.
For Bucs safety Neal Colzie: As an ex- Raider, were you aware of Ted Hendricks' kick- blocking ability?
He's the best I've ever seen at it.
