BREAKING NEWS :Miami Dolphins Week 5 fan confidence continues downward trajectory as team keeps losing

The 2024 Miami Dolphins’ season has been a rough one for fans. Coming into the year, there were expectations of the team making a deep run into the postseason. As we enter Week 5, the team has fallen off a cliff, winning their first game of the year on a field goal with no time remaining on the clock, then losing their next three games.

Things are so bad, the Dolphins have not led during a game yet this season. Their injured reserve and weekly listings reads like a who’s who of  players and talent. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion and placement on injured reserve has the offense completely out of rhythm and Miami, who finished second in offensive scoring last year, dead last in the league in points scored this season.

It has been rough, and out SB Nation Reacts  reflect the Dolphins’ struggles.
