Misery Index · Despair
Cowboys fans have turned the Eberflus subreddit into a group eulogy for every wasted star of the Jerry era.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.McCarthy carved up the defense for chunk after chunk — 58 yards to J.Addison, 23 to J.Nailor, then a 4-yard touchdown to J.Nailor that effectively closed the door. B.Aubrey's wide-right 59-yarder in the fourth was the moment hope formally exited the building. Giving up 34 to a rookie quarterback while wasting another competent D.Prescott outing isn't a fixable in-season problem — it's a referendum on the people running the building.
