Misery Index · Miserable
Dolphins fans have pinned the 24-19 loss on the refs and now just want Vrabel's squint off their screens.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
Miami got the early gift, J.Brents pouncing on an E.Chism fumble at the NE 19, then spent the afternoon handing things back: A.Borregales pushed a 40-yarder wide right, a Q3 incompletion got overturned on challenge, and D.Maye hit D.Douglas for 48 yards to bury it. M.Willis finding K.Coleman with 2:10 left merely made it respectable. Fans can rage at the refs and Vrabel's squinting all week, but five points is exactly a missed kick and a touchdown.
What fans said
“Don't think I'll ever forget what Vrabel looks like after having him on my screen constantly for 3 hours.”

“Hafley seems like he might be the real deal man, he’s got these players punching way above their weight class”

“SCREW THE REFS. Don't care what anyone says. The 4th down and 2 that changed a turnover on downs was BS.”

“The Miami Dolphins have a good GM and a good Head Coach. These 2 things matter more than anything else. I’m excited”

DRAKE MAYE WAS NEARLY PERFECT IN THE SECOND HALF AGAINST THE #DOLPHINS. The #Patriots superstar QB put together an absurd performance: 9 of 10 passing 90% 146 passing yards 3 total touchdowns Zero interceptions 158.3 PERFECT passer rating THIS KID IS DIFFERENT.
