The N.F.L. is going to consider a "Tush Push" ban. What is the board consensus on this?
The loudest complainers are the Packers and the Bills. It seems to boil down to an idea of "safety" and the fact that it's "a guaranteed yard."
I'm not sure I buy the "player safety" nonsense. It's FAR less dangerous to be in a scrum where the run-up to contact is a yard or closer than it is when these guys are flying across the field at full speed before impact. As for competitiveness, no one else is having the same success with it as Philadelphia. The Bills lost the title game when they couldn't convert on it. And if others want to be as successful at it, you need a guy taking the snap who squats 600 and a mammoth line like the Eagles. The league's success rate on it just over 75%....what rate of failure on 4th and freaking 1 would satisfy the whiners?

It’s not a football play. It’s a scrum with pads.
Scrums are creeping into running plays. Lots of
third down scrums as well.
Poor leverage technique. OLs these days have devolved.
Agree with the ban. It's a stupid play. College should ban again also.

College did have a ban & was arbitrary in its enforcement.

Typical whiny bullshit. The team that ran the play the 2nd most in the NFL is now
Complaining about it? I also don’t think I have seen an injury happen on the play. They need to concentrate money making the Super Bowl instead on complaining about the team that just won it. I guess they are going to want to ban Saquon next year too?
Saquan Barkley's vertebrae thank them. Football has become too pussified.
