‘Hope it’s not true’ – NFL fans react to every team’s 2026 record projections
The 2026 NFL season is set to get underway in just over a month, with most teams’ pre-season fixtures beginning next week. The proper campaign will kick off on September 9 when the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots.
As the NFL season looms just over a month away, fans are getting a glimpse into what the 2026 season may hold with projections from USA Today. The Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams appear poised for success, with both teams projected to finish with 14 wins and just three losses. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins are facing a challenging 2026 season, with a projected 1-16 record.
One fan reacting to this forecast expressed despair, stating, “Ouch, 1-16 for a Dolphins fan is tough. I hope it’s not true.” Another fan questioned how such a low record could be achieved, saying, “Do you know how bad a team gotta be to go 1-16 man?” The New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, and other teams also received varying levels of skepticism regarding their projected win totals.
Some fans suggested more realistic projections, while others questioned the reliability of such early estimations, citing factors like free agency and draft picks.
