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 2026 NFL season is beginning, with the first game on the schedule kicking off tonight. The Miami Dolphins have to wait until Sunday for their first game, an away contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, but we are at that point on the calendar when we all ride the ups and down of the season-long roller coaster.

The analysts all have the Dolphins coming into this year with extremely low expectations – but do not tell the Dolphins themselves that. They are looking to turn a rebuild year into a successful season, shocking the NFL world along the way. Can they do it?

How are you feeling about the Dolphins as the season launches? Our SB Nation Reacts survey returns today with our standard weekly confidence poll. Let us know how you are feeling about the Dolphins and head to the comments to share your thoughts. We will be back later in the week with the results.
