Misery Index · Despair
Vikings fans openly questioning whether J.McCarthy is the answer while Matt Daniels gets fired into the sun nightly.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.McCarthy's two deep-ball interceptions — the K.Byard pick off the J.Jefferson target, then the N.Wright takeaway in the end zone intended for J.Addison — bankrupted an offense that finally found rhythm too late, with the J.Addison touchdown at 0:56 only setting up a D.Duvernay 56-yard kick return and C.Santos walking off from 48. One good series doesn't erase the rest, and the accuracy concerns aren't going away.
What fans said
“We deserve to lose this game. One good series shows how much we botched the rest of the game.”
