Misery Index · Despair
Patriots fans resigned to another boring 4-win slog with Patricia calling plays and Wolf still running the building.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Maye and K.Boutte connected for 24 yards before Boutte limped off, and the early D.Douglas touchdown briefly suggested a pulse. Then the third quarter happened: a Maye interception heaved toward S.Diggs, a B.Bowers 38-yard catch-and-run, and a D.Carlson 51-yarder that quietly buried the thing. A 13-20 home loss to open the year, and the bigger worry is that nothing about this offense looked remotely scary once Las Vegas adjusted.
What fans said
“the worst thing about this team....is that they're quite boring to watch. Like if we had an explosive offense or defense then it would at least be fun to watch. These wet fart games are just lame af”

“What happened in the offseason that made Maye allergic to throwing the ball away?”

“One thing to be bad, another to be bad *and* boring. Absolutely zero explosive playmakers.”
u/welldonebrain▲ 138frustration
“With Matt fucking Patricia as OC and Zappe as QB. Our passing offense was always going to be iffy, but seeing our run game absolutely shit the bed is something else.”
