Misery Index · Despair
Commanders fans watching Ertz sob and Daniels slam his helmet and realizing the suffering was the plan all along.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Shut out 31-0 in Minnesota, and the J.Daniels pick-six to A.Van Ginkel in the third was less a turning point than a formality — this one was decided long before. The offense managed flickers (a D.Samuel grab, a T.McLaurin deep ball) and absolutely nothing else, while J.McCarthy carved through the defense at will. The misery jumped 43 points in a week, and fans are no longer asking what's wrong — they're asking who answers for it.
