The Miami Dolphins dropped their 2026 schedule this week, but the reaction from fans has been anything but celebratory. As NFL teams unveiled their upcoming slates with creative social media videos, the Dolphins tried a playful approach—but it didn't quite land with their faithful followers.

In their schedule release video, the Dolphins pranked their players by calling them to "Mr. Ross's office," only for rapper Rick Ross to appear instead of team owner Stephen Ross. While the concept had potential, fans quickly took to social media to express their disappointment—not just with the video, but with the schedule itself.

One fan summed up the sentiment bluntly: "Incapable of making a good schedule release video. Annual letdown." Others called for more creativity, with one asking, "Can y'all please be creative for once?"

The schedule itself drew criticism for a lack of prime-time games. "Come on, they couldn't even give us a Thursday night game? Geeeeeez," one fan lamented. Another fan predicted a tough start, writing, "We legit might be winless until after Thanksgiving."

Not everyone was entirely negative, though. One fan noted the video was "an improvement from schedule release vids of recent years, but still kinda meh," adding that the lack of prime-time games was "tough, but understandable."

For Dolphins fans, this schedule release has been a reminder that sometimes, the off-season hype doesn't always match the on-field reality. As the team gears up for 2026, all eyes will be on how they perform—and whether next year's video can finally hit the mark.
