Yeah. I brought this play up yesterday and was told it was called right. Ref was looking right at it and instead flagged 2 Steelers. Is throwing a punch still a 15 yard penalty and automatic ejection? Mitchell could have been flagged as well, but nothing to see here. Clearly the Steelers were at fault.

both of those calls against the Steelers were legit, IMHO. I thought there should have also been one against an Eagle on that play
According to this, Slay should have been ejected, right? He threw a punch

My fav part is how my birds man handled Pitt. Like all day shoved them around like beoches. Physically. The entire time
lol. That’s subjective. Washington dog walked Slay into the first row in that video. It was like Big Mike in The Blind Side. Slay got his feelings hurt.

I get it. The call sucked. That wasn’t the difference in that game. Not even close.
Maybe. But Najee went out of bounds at the 3 on that play. If that play is called correctly, it’s offsetting penalties at a minimum and the Steelers still have the ball in a much better scoring position. I think the play started around the 11? If they score 7 there, it’s a different momentum.

Ah momentum. The most overrated aspect of a football game. It can change on a play or two.

Yes. Changed with the Najee fumble.
Otoh the Eagles are backed up at their own 3 yd line the Steelers are allowed to flip the MO back!! A great team rises up and does not let them off the goal line. Even greater teams go on 97 yd 10.30 drives!! The Eagles could only dream to play in the AFC NORTH after their sweep!

True. OTOH the unsportsmanlike penalty on Carter on the punt should have given the ball back to the Steelers and added 15 yards, but for some inexplicable reason they assessed the penalty after the change of possession and gave the ball to the Eagles at the 3.

Eagles dominated Pitt all over the field. Physically.

They certainly dominated the AFC North this year. But these things are cyclical. They were 0-3-1 in 2020 against that division.

Keep on spinnin' it.
I don’t think speaking the truth is spinning anything. I coached for a lot of years and one thing you find out is that officials are human and humans are biased. It can’t be avoided unless you build robots to officiate games.

So, the truth is that the Big Ten Conference and its officials have, for some reason, conspired to make bad calls against Penn State and only Penn State. Ok....I see. Have a nice day.

You have it wrong… the officials conspire to make calls to take care of the Big 2. They flat out cheat to take care of Mich and OSU. Don’t bother responding to my post because you won’t change my mind. They cheat…

You haven't changed my mind either. I don't believe in the Easter Bunny.

Witvoet, O’Neill and Honing are laughing their asses off at you
Sorry, not buying into your conspiracy theories. It's fans like you who have perpetuated the narrative that Penn State fans are whiners. The reality is that the rest of the college football community is laughing at us because we always place the blame on our losing on the officials instead where it squarely belongs....on our shoulders.
