He missed Adams up the middle in the second half, as well, though I couldn't tell if it was a bad throw or a miscommunication on where the receiver was going to be (I think the former).
Let's be fair - Rodgers had a whole bunch of great throws, too. The near TD to Dick Rod late, the near TD to Dick Rod early (the defender made a great play), the TD pass to Cobb that got called back, the reviewed catch by Jordy on the sideline, etc.
It feels like, as usual, McCarthy just doesn't know how to call a proper game. The first quarter was great - there were a bunch of timing passes, short crosses, and other things that either led to high percentage passes or the field opening up for bigger plays. Later (and I don't have the tapes to verify this - just casual fan work here), it seemed like it was back to iso routes and the receivers had trouble getting open. The O-linemen were the heroes of the night, as they gave Rodgers time to extend plays and finally let receivers break open.
