Misery Index · Uneasy
Saints fans found a kicker in Smyth and somehow nothing else worth keeping from a 21-17 loss to Miami.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Vele's onside recovery off the C.Smyth kick gave the Saints life with 1:17 left, then the two-point try to Vele was picked and T.Shough's middle run for no gain on the ensuing possession sealed it. C.Smyth looks like a legitimate find, which is a strange thing to dwell on after a four-point loss where C.Olave's earlier interception and a Shough strip-sack already spotted Miami the cushion. The kicker is the story. That should not be the story.
What fans said
“A win right here does us no good but Olave definitely should have caught that ball.”
