Dolphins fans have one major gripe entering the bye week that keeps getting worse

The Miami Dolphins have had a lot to cheer about during the Mike McDaniel era, but once we get to around this time of year, tensions start to rise, and doubt starts to creep in.

McDaniel's teams have often struggled against top-tier competition. That's held true during the 2025 season. A big part of the Fins' abysmal 1-6 start was an inability to beat good teams. The schedule heading into the season didn't look as tough as it does now, but Miami took losses to the Colts (8-2), Patriots (9-2), Bills (7-4), Panthers (6-5), and Chargers (7-4) in that span.
