On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins were welcomed into Lincoln Financial Field by the Philadelphia Eagles, but they were handed just their second loss of the season, 31-17.
Miami was unable to keep up with the Eagles’ offensive firepower, as they couldn’t run the ball efficiently or capitalize on big plays when they needed them.
Throughout the contest, fans rode a rollercoaster of emotion, which included some not-so-great things about the officials. Here’s what they had to say:
Eli Apple routinely gets beat and continues to stay on the field. Why draft a CB in the second round if you’re not going to play him? Cam Smith cannot be worse than this.

Holding them to a FG is huge. Let’s roll offense

How the hell do you get a delay of game on the first offensive play of the game for the offense?

Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips collapse on Jalen Hurts, MASSIVE play.

He tackled the receiver before the ball got there. How is that not DPI

Dolphins can't run the ball with this OL against this front. They need to find a way to put together small gains.

Seriously…..is Tyreek Hill the ultimate cheat code? Like he just split a double team by at least 5 yards for a TD. 😳😳😳

Tua dropped a DIME too. Ball was perfect

Phillips beats Lane Johnson for sack. Dolphins defensive line has matched the physicality of Philly. When it gets Jalen Ramsey and Xavien Howard on back end …
— Dave Hyde (@davehydesports) October 23, 2023
The Dolphins have 8 penalties and the Eagles have 0.
It feels like it's about time for a Miami power play.

Rare drop there from Tyreek. Just smelled another 6 there.

That’s a really bad missed call

Ball don't lie?
Pick-six for Jerome Baker.

Fangio defensive philosophy is working, pressure check down tackle. We can’t tackle, that’s a big problem
— Jake Vetter (@Jvett62Jv) October 23, 2023
Liam Eichenberg is having an awful drive
— Aaron Katzker (@AarontheBrain) October 23, 2023
Can have those typa interceptions there Tua

So undisciplined.

The Dolphins offensive line, woof. Smh

“Dolphins can’t beat good teams” narrative is gonna be at an all time high yayyyy
— 🐬𝕄𝕚𝕜𝕖𝕪🐬 (@HollandHitStick) October 23, 2023
That was an ugly game. Dolphins had opportunities, but can’t ignore the penalty discrepancy throughout the game. Obvious missed calls on the Eagles in crucial moments. But just gotta move forward, Eagles are a good team. #FinsUp

No excuses. Pats are next #Finsup

Tough loss. Lot of things you can blame but at the end of the day and L is an L. There were a lot of positives to take away from tonight for the Dolphins though. Clean it up and get better #finsup
Congrats Eagles.

Tyreek gets fined 100k for. It wearing socks. What are the refs getting fined for determining the outcome of games?? @NFLOfficiating
