Misery Index · Euphoric
Dolphins fans toasting the Ewers era one game in and quietly declaring 7-9 a lifestyle worth defending.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Q.Ewers and T.Wease torched Tampa for 63 yards on the opening drive, and from there Miami squeezed out 20 points and held on. The game really turned in the fourth when A.Davis picked off B.Mayfield at the 5 and B.Chubb strip-sacked him minutes later, Q.Bell falling on the ball. A win is a win, but the lingering question is why tackling an injured Baker required two takeaways instead of one clean stop.

“Too ass to be a super bowl threat yearly (or ever in the past 25 years), too ass to prepare for an elite talent when already mathematically eliminated from playoffs.”
