Exactly Tom. Total domination by the Eagles. But yet there are some posters here who believe the officiating led to the outcome of the game. You would think that seasoned fans understand that bad and good calls, like injuries, are a part of the game.

Yup.🤣 You win. Now don’t fall flat on your face in some obscure playoff city like Tampa.
Dude, the Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2016. And before you mention their 6 Super Bowl wins (very impressive), I’ll remind you that you’re the one picking the fight.

It’s one game in one season. But the Eagles won comprehensively. A penalty or two wouldn’t have mattered.

Also a reminder that the Steelers last Super Bowl win was a total gift from the refs. Tomlin has no room to whine.

Dude. It’s all in good fun. It’s a regular season game.

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.
Never said that…you might want to learn to read.

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.
Every school in the country feels the same way about their schools….you don’t get out much, so you?

Please show me one game where a really bad call played a big role in Ohio State losing a conference game….I’ll wait.

Why are you so angry? You and I simply have a different opinion. I have no issue that we differ. Have a good evening.

Here's a conference game.

Again, a judgment call that could have gone either way….not quite like a catch that bounced off the ground or an INT that also bounced off the ground and the replay mysteriously didn’t work. The kind of call you showed here happens at least once a game against PSU every time they play OSU.

Judgement calls are part of the game. Fans will show their bias and fall on either side of the call depending on the team. I would guess you'd get a difference of opinion on this call between Oregon fans and Ohio State fans. And the team the call goes against always labels it a "bad call". For me, I believe bad calls even out over the long haul. Believe me, I'm seen many bad calls that went on our favor a d plenty that did not. But I certainly don't dwell on them. And I don't believe in any inherent bias. That's simply my opinion.

I know the play. Yes that was a terrible call. But you believe the officials had a bias or conspired to impact the game. I don't agree with you, but that's fine, we can disagree. I just believe the officials screwed up and didn't do their job. Keep in mind, the officials are scrutinized. I don't believe they would blatantly make a bad call and jeopardize their position.

How can you believe that officials don’t have an inherent bias? And if they do even out over the long haul, then we have a ton of calls coming our way over the next 10 years when we play OSU.

I don’t think there’s any type of conspiracy, but I do think there are biases. I experienced it firsthand when I coached basketball…I got a referee barred from doing any of our games. I asked the head of officials why he didn’t get rid of the guy altogether and he said no other team had any problems with him. He had a bias against the school I coached at. You really believe an official like Witvoet, who had his whole basement decked out in Michigan gear, did not have a bias in favor of Michigan? It’s human nature.

My friend. As I said. You and I simply have a difference in opinion. You are certainly entitled to yours. I respect that. Have a great day and GO LIONS!!
