Misery Index · Miserable
Saints fans cataloging the J.Johnson drops, the no-show blocking, and the Shough benching like it's a grocery list.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The game effectively ended in the first quarter, when T.Shough opened with an incompletion to R.Shaheed, got sacked by B.Fiske for a nine-yard loss, and watched M.Stafford carve up the secondary on chunk plays to T.Ferguson and D.Allen. Shough got his first NFL touchdown out of the wreckage, which feels less like a milestone than a participation ribbon. The real concern isn't the rookie — it's that the protection and the drops keep making the evaluation impossible.
