I bumped into some Niners fans at work who wanted to blame bad calls for the Eagles win. Specifically, the grazed face mask that was missed on a 4th down pass break up and the Hurts roughing call.
Thoughts? I felt there were some misses that hurt the Eagles too. Defensive holding and a bad spot on what should have been an AJ Brown first down in the 4th.

i heard Fat Charlie (Weiss) this am on NFL radio saying he doesnt understand 10-0 calls. that cant be right, noted the facemask above. But the Eagles had penalties, they just off set and were improperly called. On the one sneak they called the LG for being offside when he clearly wasnt. the Centers hand was the one down in the dirt which he is allowed to do.
I was behind on the game recording and fast forwarding between plays so I missed the discussion on this play. I thought that it was called against the Eagles on a 4th and short, but then the penalty was declined, giving the Eagles another shot at 4th and short. What did I miss here?
They called offsides on a Dolphins DT (Wilkins, I believe) and offsides on an Eagles guard (I think it was Dickerson). So, as @LionJim indicated, they were offsetting, which is why the down was replayed.
TV replay showed that the refs had blown the call agains the Birds, as it was Kelce's hand they were calling offsides, and he's allowed to do that.
Howie pulls off trade for a quality safety from the Titans… Kevin Byard. Excellent move given our current injuries !
Think the grazed face mask was immediately followed by the batted interception returned for a TD. So the Dolphins got their 7 points anyway. Hard to say that the interception would have still happened the way it did.
