Dolphins Fans React to Week 2 Loss in San Francisco

Miami supporters pointed to pass-rush problems, offensive-line struggles and salary-cap fallout after a loss to the 49ers dropped the team to 0-2.

The Miami Dolphins fell to the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on September 20, dropping to 0-2 under a new coaching staff and an overhauled roster. Fan responses collected after the game ran largely negative, with several readers predicting another lopsided defeat in week three against Kansas City at home.

A recurring complaint was the absence of a pass rush through two games, which fans said makes the secondary impossible to evaluate. Tackle Austin Jackson drew criticism for poor blocking, while quarterback Malik Willis was faulted by some for holding the ball too long, though others noted uncertainty about whether receivers or hesitation was to blame.

Several fans framed the season as a rebuild forced by salary-cap problems, placing blame on former general manager Chris Grier and owner Stephen Ross. Others pointed to holes on the roster, arguing the team needs pass rushers, another cornerback, a safety, a tight end and an additional wide receiver.

Not every reaction was gloomy. Running back De'Von Achane drew praise, some fans noted the offense avoided turnovers, and others encouraged patience with a young roster, suggesting the team's effort could pay off later. Miami hosts the Chiefs in week three.
