Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers<\/a> on the Dolphins\u2019 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium<\/a> as Miami begins the 2026 season 0-1.<\/p>\n

Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist<\/p>\n

The Dolphins did what they could as a young team without much experience. They played hard but their lack of talent and lack of playmaking ability eventually caught up to them. This wasn\u2019t a disastrous debut, but it wasn\u2019t good.<\/p>\n

David Furones, Dolphins Writer<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to expect much from the Dolphins in the first year of this rebuild<\/a>. The opener against the Raiders, a team largely expected to at least be within the bottom third of the league, solidifies that. There were moments where Miami\u2019s youth fought and made plays, but they were outmatched. And it\u2019ll only get much tougher against a very good San Francisco 49ers team next Sunday.<\/p>\n

Steve Svekis, Assistant Sports Editor<\/p>\n

The Dolphins looked young, young, young. The question, amid Ashton Jeanty making the interior of the Dolphins defense look non-existent by piling up almost 150 yards, is what growth to expect from all the youth. Maybe my season prediction (6-11)<\/a> was typed with the heart instead of the head, because there really is no there there on this embryonic squad, and all of the most dire predictions for this year\u2019s record merely appear to be exercises in sobriety.<\/p>\n

Keven Lerner, Assistant Sports Editor<\/p>\n

This season is going to be filled with non-competitive results like in Las Vegas. Incredibly, the Raiders may be the least capable opponent the Dolphins face this year. The absolute requirement is that the core group of young players the front office has invested its deepest faith in improves as this season trudges along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quick thoughts from South Florida Sun Sentinel staffers on the Dolphins\u2019 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[10775,123,1763,125,124],"class_list":["post-399003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
