GREEN BAY — Davante Adams flung the ball away in disgust.
No, Adams correctly pointed out Tuesday afternoon, he did not chuck it with such force that it landed in the (almost) completely empty Lambeau Field bleachers. But it was abundantly clear after his irritated toss — in the wake of the second of back-to-back 2-yard, go-nowhere catches on screen passes — that the Green Bay Packers star wide receiver had finally had enough of being a virtual non-factor during last Saturday night’s unimpressive 24-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
“I was pissed. I was definitely pissed off,” admitted Adams, who caught seven passes (on 10 targets) for just 42 yards against the Panthers — his lowest yardage output for a full game this season and the second-lowest yards-per-catch average in a game over the past four seasons.
