Title: Shame of the Game - Eagles
Post by: dolphins4life on October 22, 2023, 11:16:34 pm
The offensive line.

The missed call on the face mask was bad but didn’t affect anything.  Miami got the touchdown the next play anyway

Not too worried.  This was just a loss to a better team

Edit:  To answer Brian's question, that drop was insignificant because the Dolphins scored on an INT return right after.

Eichenberg way too many bad snaps (late or not at all).

HM - Refs, C'mon not a single penalty called against Philly?

Eli Apple seemed to be a part of a lot of bad plays.

From what I saw in the highlights package, it had to be Eli Apple.

Plus as if we didn't know already, we really need to find someone, anyone, who can cover a tight end. Preferably before the Chiefs game.

I have a hard time of giving a back up player SOTG. Hard to say for me because we had so many backups playing and even our 9th O-Lineman. Our studs needed to step up and didn't so I'll take Tyreek as he never created the momentum we needed in the second half.

Refs, TBH.  Not a single penalty?  Not one you could call?  In the whole game?  We saw several from our living room, y'all do this every weekend.

Tyreek, for the huge game-swinging drop near the end zone.  how different would the game have been if that was a TD?

I don't in this case. Apple was a former first round pick. He played as a starter for the Bengals in the Superbowl. While he's second fiddle to X and Ramsey, he's the very next in line to step up, and he's being paid for it. He earned his SOTG today.

Regarding Apple, in addition to being beat a lot, he wasn't hustling.  I saw him jogging behind the play.   It's not often, but sometimes corners can come from behind and dislodge a ball when an opposing receiver gets caught up but not tackled yet.  He wasn't putting himself in a position to make plays like that.

Apple isn't great and why he was available. He has a history of getting picked on so I guess I just expect much.

hahaha ... is that my MO? I guess it could be. I'd blame my wife for buying crappy groceries before I'd blame the groceries for being crappy. hahaha

You said it once about 5 years ago and I've been laughing every since, so maybe it's just something that stuck with me.
