Desperate times aren't resulting in drastic measures.

In the wake of a stunning 38-28 loss at the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday -- the Packers' second straight setback to drop them to 4-4 -- head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday no shakeup of job responsibilities or even jobs would be occurring this week.

"To have a new message or a new messenger, I'm confident that's not what our football team needs right now," McCarthy said.

The offensive line and special teams coaches are feeling the heat as ongoing problems in their respective areas were magnified in the debacle against the Bucs, who erased a 28-17 deficit in the final 11 1/2 minutes.

Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked six times for the second consecutive game and has absorbed a league-worst 37 sacks.

On special teams Sunday, Green Bay allowed a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown and gave up an 83-yard kickoff return to Clifton Smith to set up the first of Tampa Bay's three touchdowns in its fourth-quarter comeback.

The Packers also surrendered big kick returns by Percy Harvin in the Minnesota Vikings' 38-26 win Nov. 1.

"It bothers me," McCarthy said. "That's two weeks where we've been on the wrong side of a lopsided special-teams performance. We definitely need to get that going in the right direction because the momentum swings are really holding us back."

McCarthy's knee-jerk reaction, however, is to not start making changes with his coaching staff as the Packers get ready to host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

"There is no question or uncertainty of what we are asking everybody to do -- coaches and players -- and the accountability of what needs to be done," McCarthy said. "I'm very disappointed (to be 4-4), but that's our work to this point. I take full responsibility. I'm at the point of this football team.

"I have all the confidence in this team that we'll get ready and we'll move on and win a big game here at home against Dallas."
