Misery Index · Despair
Saints fans staring down a 13-44 wreckage and quietly wondering if Buffalo really might hang 80 next week.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 95-yard T.Horton punt return touchdown in the first quarter set the tone, and a blocked K.Kroeger punt shortly after confirmed the kicking game was a liability all night. S.Rattler couldn't connect deep to A.Kamara or short to J.Johnson while S.Darnold picked the secondary apart to J.Smith-Njigba at will. The hope that lingered into Week 3 evaporated by halftime, and the bigger question now is whether anything about this roster actually travels.

“I’ve been watching Saints football since 1985 and I can say that the only team that left me feeling this hopeless was the 1999 Ditka squad with Billy Joe Hobert and Billy Joe Tolliver as quarterbacks. This team is that putrid.”
