Misery Index · Despair
Saints fans blaming refs, Olave's hands, J.Johnson's fumbles, and the Patriots in roughly that order before giving up.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 53-yard D.Douglas touchdown on New England's opening drive set the tone, and a K.Boutte 29-yard score made worse by an A.Taylor unnecessary roughness flag widened the margin before halftime. S.Rattler played a clean game, hit C.Olave for 53, and still walked off a loser because red zone trips kept ending in field goals and J.Johnson couldn't hang onto the ball. Six points short, and the playmakers are the problem nobody can scheme around.
