Misery Index · Despair
Buccaneers fans won by 20 and somehow left convinced the refs, the league, and gambling itself robbed them.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Nelson's pick-six off S.Rattler effectively ended this one in the second quarter, and the defense never let New Orleans breathe — C.Young's strip-sack and the L.David fumble recovery turned a road game into a formality. Yet the prevailing mood is fury, not joy: a goal-line stuff on four straight interior runs and a touchdown fans believe was officiated away kept the scoreboard at 23-3 in a game that should have been louder.
What fans said
“NFL refs are an absolute disgrace.”
