Misery Index · Despair
Cowboys fans are openly grieving a season — and a franchise — that lost Brissett wrote the eulogy for.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A blocked punt recovered by M.Kneeland in the end zone was supposed to be the spark, and instead it was the highlight reel — Dallas got out-quarterbacked by J.Brissett, who carved up D.Bland on three separate drives in the first quarter alone. The J.Williams fumble in the fourth just made it official. The bye week arrives with a fanbase past anger and somewhere closer to indifference, which is the harder problem to fix.
What fans said
“Just got embarrassed by a career backup QB on national TV and you have the bye week coming up to give a new coordinator some extra time…”
