Misery Index · Despair
Dolphins fans openly campaigning for a tank, a teardown, and a 40-point Thursday loss to mercy-kill the regime.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
M.Washington's 74-yard punt return touchdown should have been the moment that flipped this game, but R.Patterson's ensuing kickoff went 90 yards the other way to A.Gibson, and whatever oxygen was left in the building went with it. T.Tagovailoa's late interception by M.Mapu just confirmed what the fanbase had already decided by the third quarter: the coverage busts, the special teams lapse, the situational coaching — it's all the same problem, and nobody seems to know who's fixing it.
