GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy wasnt thrilled with his defences second-half performance during Monday nights 43-37 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, and he really wasnt interested in rehashing the groups collapse less than 24 hours later, either.With a short week and what he sees as a very difficult road game Sunday at Buffalo — a place where the Packers have never won in five tries — McCarthy made it clear he was moving on Tuesday.He fielded several questions about the defence, which gave up 30 points and 304 yards after the Packers took a 31-7 lead into halftime.Im not going to sit here and talk about defence all day, McCarthy said tersely. Were on to Buffalo.The Packers biggest problem against the Falcons was their inability to defend wide receiver Julio Jones, who caught 11 passes for 259 yards — the most an opposing receiver has ever amassed against Green Bay — before leaving the game with a hip injury.Cornerback Sam Shields, re-signed by the Packers to a four-year, $39 million deal in March, struggled in coverage against Jones after leaving the Nov. 30 game against New England with a concussion sustained on the 10th defensive snap.Shields missed practice last week on Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable for Mondays game.McCarthy went out of his way to support Shields on Tuesday.Hes our guy, McCarthy said after the coaches replaced him in the second half with backup Davon House.McCarthy said Houses insertion into the lineup was part of a pre-planned rotation, although Shields never went back into the game.Hey, they had a big day. Julio had a huge night. They got hot in the second half, McCarthy said. Well have time to correct our things (Wednesday) with our players, and well learn from it. Obviously, you always want to make corrections after a win.The Packers (10-3) have won five in a row and are tied for the best record in the NFL. They are 7-0 at home and are aiming for the NFCs No. 1 seed to have the road to the Super Bowl go through Lambeau Field.Players were off Tuesday, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers said during his weekly show on 540 ESPN radio in Milwaukee that he likes where his team stands with three weeks to go in the regular season.This is when it gets exciting. Its right in front of us, said Rodgers, who has led the Packers to an NFL-best 423 points. We have the opportunity to achieve the goals that we talk about every season, and the first and most important is winning your division and getting a home playoff game.Thats right in front of us. We control our fate right there and we have the opportunity to do some great things. But we have to take care of business.NOTES: McCarthy said running back Eddie Lacy, who missed the games final series with a hip injury, would be evaluated Wednesday. I dont have high concern, McCarthy said. . McCarthy had high praise for No. 2 running back James Starks, who carried 10 times for 75 yards and a touchdown. His 41-yard run late in the game helped seal the victory. I just love the way James responds with his opportunities, McCarthy said. (He) has played a lot of excellent football for us over the years, and I thought last night was one of his best nights. Cheap Air Max 90 Clearance .
