Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Dolphins fans and fans across the country.

The Miami Dolphins lost to the New England Patriots in Week 8, dropping to 1-6 in 2026 despite holding a 13-3 halftime lead. Miami, the NFL’s youngest team, looked like a team facing a steep learning curve this season as they adjust to the speed of the professional game. They had a setback in Week 8, but how are the fans feeling about the direction of the team as they head into Week 9?

Our weekly SB Nation Reacts fan confidence poll is back today to gauge how the fans are feeling. Do you think the Dolphins are headed in the right direction, despite the loss to the Patriots? Do you have concerns about the team’s future? Let us know how you are feeling about the Dolphins in the poll below and in the comments at the bottom of the page.
