The Miami Dolphins closed out the preseason Friday night, Aug. 28, with a 17-12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, finishing 0-3 and giving fans plenty to debate heading into the regular season.

Friday night also marked former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s first return to Miami since the team released him in March. Now with the Falcons, Tagovailoa got a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some fans made their feelings about the former quarterback crystal clear with loud boos, while others said they had moved on and wished him success in Atlanta.

But for many fans, the bigger question is what comes next for Miami. After a tumultuous preseason, predictions for the year ahead range from a few wins to another tough season in South Florida.
