Misery Index · Uneasy
Patriots fans won by seven and still spent the night roasting the coaches for putting A.Brown on the hands team.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
A 26-19 win that somehow left the fanbase angrier than last week's loss, which is a particular kind of achievement. The D.Maye-to-R.Doubs 42-yard touchdown set the tone early, and C.Woods' interception of G.Smith sealed it, but T.Henderson's fumble and a fourth-down decision fans are still screaming about turned a comfortable afternoon into white-knuckle theater. Vrabel got the W; the ball security and late-game logic remain open questions nobody wanted to be asking in October.
What fans said
“The commentary from Spero and Archuleta that it’s a no brainer to go for it on 4th down and not kick a chip shot field goal to make it a 2 possession game is completely asinine.”

“Vrabel has to get the fumbles under control, it's like they have no fear of the repercussions of fumbling the ball”
