Dolphins legend perfectly summarizes Miami's colossal flop in Indianapolis to open 2025 regular season in just three words

Unprepared. Uninspired. Unacceptable.

If these were your bullet points for a team playing for a coach who is on the hot seat in Week 1, you'd probably be feeling pretty bad about the outlook of things. To be fair to the Dolphins, this is one game in 17 on the schedule. It could simply be a bump in the road. But for a team with concerns about player culture and the direction of the organization, this kind of performance is the absolute worst-case scenario.

How will Miami respond from here if the opening performance after an offseason of messaging is already falling into this range on the spectrum? We'll find out soon enough.

Miami plays the Patriots for its home opener next Sunday before a short week trip to Buffalo to play the Bills. And if Miami proves uninspired and unprepared for those two contests as well, it may well be not only Hall of Famers like Csonka who are going public with their disdain for the state of affairs. Although if those higher up in the organization, such as owner Stephen Ross, decide to take their displeasure forward, it will come with much more serious ramifications than some postgame tweets.
