Misery Index · Despair
Bills fans done defending McDermott, done watching Allen's prime leak away, and now done with Hochuli too.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Borregales walking off Buffalo with a 52-yarder is the kind of ending that lingers, but the loss was authored earlier: J.Allen's pick to M.Jones at the NE 10, his fumble at midfield, and K.Coleman coughing it up inside the 10 turned a winnable home game into a three-turnover slog. Three points in a half, a secondary that let D.Maye carve up the deep right side — the margin for error in this window keeps shrinking.
What fans said
