Misery Index · Despair
Cowboys fans burying the defense, Eberflus, and Diggs in the same shallow grave after a 14-31 home humiliation.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Williams shredded the secondary on back-to-back deep balls to L.Burden and R.Odunze inside the first ten minutes, and the J.Williams fumble at the CHI 28 erased the one drive that might've kept this competitive. D.Prescott's two-yard touchdown to G.Pickens was the lone bright spot in a game that was structurally decided before the second quarter. The corners look broken, and Week 4 isn't going to fix them.
What fans said
“Diggs played like absolute shit and then quit on the team”

“Goddamn just leave the secondary and eberflus in Chicago and start the fuck over. Maybe the worst I've ever seen the corners play in 20+ years”
u/visionaryAVA341▲ 219rage
“Defense made Caleb Williams look like prime Aaron Rodgers, Javonte fumble on the first drive to take 7 off the board, George Pickens drops the easiest catch ever and it results in a pick.”
u/Fhaksfha794▲ 109rage
“I'll say it again: Dak Prescott, who kept us in the game last week, will be blamed for yet another F+ defensive performance.”
