Misery Index · Despair
Panthers fans begging to never see A.Dalton in pads again after a 40-9 home humiliation by Buffalo.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Dalton fumbled the ball away at the BUF 11 in the first quarter and threw a pick that A.Epenesa returned 24 yards to the CAR 1, and by then J.Cook's 64-yard touchdown run had already turned the building into a Bills road game. The stadium booed, the extra points missed, and the only real question left is how many more Sundays Carolina plans to run this quarterback experiment.
