Tush Push vote failed. Still a thing

Friggin' Travis Jason Kelce was there lobbying for the play.  Ridiculous.

 

It's not a football play and hopefully it's out next year.

Hopefully the Bills start running this play with Knox or Kincaid under center.

Jason?

This is good for us as it would've banned pushing the ball carrier which is what are o-line loves to do on a run play.  Eagles can stop crying now too.

[Alphadawg7]

I think it should stay.  Just because one team does it better than anyone else isn't a reason to get rid of it.  

 

Funniest part is the pushing of the tush isn't even the key to its success and is mostly irrelevant to whether the play succeeds or not.  Its what happens up front and what your QB does that determines if its likely to succeed or not, and THAT is what the Eagles are better than everyone else at.

Haha, yes, you are correct.  I'll edit.

Christian Wilkins breathes a huge sigh of relief

I'm glad it didn't get banned. 

 

That'd be like the Bills pushing to have the forward pass banned because Brady spanked them for 20 plus years straight with it...

Holy ***** we are going to win the Super Bowl.

If you want to stop the tush push, stop it with your defense and not rules changes.

 

Funny part is when they line up, it’s obvious what they are going to do. If your defense isn’t prepared enough to stop it, it’s on them.

 

Not a fan of the play. More interested in stopping the pushing and pulling downfield to gain yardage. Find that to be more of a BS play when guys basically carry the guy with the ball.

Somewhere, Chris Jones is crying

A player should not receive assistance (pulling or pushing) from a teammate to gain yardage -- PERIOD.  It's a stupid play and should have never been allowed.

well. our Bills use that play with success. so I'm not going to have a problem with the NFL ruling to keep it.

 

is it cheating?  No. I don't think  so.

 

just my opinion. so Im not mad it stays.

Exactly. Bills couldn’t stop them, it was  on our team and they failed.

 

Funny when people were up in arms when they’d run up the score throughout their games…stop them. Simple.

Am I a fan of the play?  Not really. Again, feel the pulling and carrying the guy down the field is less of a football play.

 

Surprised it was upheld. It really is a cheap play.

It is in fact a football play. 11 players on offense line up against 11 players on defense. Offense snaps the ball and defense tries to stop the play. 

 

It's on the defensive coordinators to figure out a way to stop it. Remember the wildcat? That was unstoppable until defensive coordinators figured out a way to stop it. 

 

Hell, the Chiefs stuffed our attempts multiple times. I don't think it will last much longer as defenses start to finally figure it out.

Good.  It wasn't just the push that was going away.  The pull too.  I can still see Dion pulling Cook forward on that one play last year.

The pull is already banned, it’s just not being consistently enforced.

 

The whole thing is stupid.

How is not a football play? Pure brute force to move the LOS seems as “football” as it gets.
