Misery Index · Despair
Seahawks fans have identified S.Darnold as the sole architect of a 14-17 loss and want him benched yesterday.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
S.Darnold marched Seattle into position with the J.Smith-Njigba 32-yarder and the C.Kupp dagger to the DEN 23, then threw it to K.Abrams-Draine with 1:31 left in a tie game. J.Myers forced overtime, which only delayed the W.Lutz 53-yarder and the inevitable postgame reckoning. The fanbase has already picked a culprit, and the box score isn't offering much of a defense — three losses, one common denominator.

TRUE OR FALSE: THE SEATTLE #SEAHAWKS SHOULD BENCH STARTING QB SAM DARNOLD FOR BACKUP DREW LOCK…? 🧐🧐🧐 Multiple people in the Seattle building believe Lock is a starting #NFL quarterback.
