Miami Dolphins fan confidence drops after season ends

The Miami Dolphins’ 2025 NFL season was a complete disappointment, with a team that should have been in contention for the playoffs falling to 7-10 by the end of the season. The Dolphins struggled to find any sort of identity throughout the season, moved on from their general manager in October, benched their starting quarterback in December, and looked completely out of sync throughout the year.

It was a rough season for Miami, but did have a high-point of a four-game winning streak, and they did finish the year 6-4 after a 1-6 start to the season. It was not...
