Misery Index · Despair
Cardinals fans burying this regime in real time, mourning a botched squib kick as the perfect emblem of a 7-win ceiling.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
E.Demercado's 7-yard touchdown catch from K.Murray with 33 seconds left should have been the moment — 3.5 quarters of nothing, redeemed. Then J.Myers walked on and hit a 52-yarder as time expired, because of course he did. The fanbase isn't wrong to point at Petzing after another game where the offense slept through 55 minutes, but the deeper worry is that late-game heroics keep getting erased before anyone can enjoy them.
