They need to end the “Tush Push”

Soccer is like socialism. Limited with no use of hands. No wonder the marxists love it.

Anybody with a sense of athleticism loves it.

First off, too many players get injured

Second, it looks stupid and rewards brute force over execution.

I don't actually understand why they (the defense) just absolutely punish the QB when teams run this. That seems like the way you can end it without it being regulated out of the game. Even if you take a penalty.

The Chiefs stopped Buffalo when they tried it.

Josh Allen isnt the right type of QB to run that play.

 

[Couchpotato]

That might be a rule I could live with.

Makes me think about blocking extra points and field goals. A defensive player can't run and use his teammates back to jump up high to block the kick. At least I don't believe they can do that.

You are correct they can not do that. You cant even time up the snap and just jump over the linemen to block kicks.

That wouldn't bother me if they said you can't push your own player forward. If you do that, the ball is down where you started pushing.

Damn, then he weighed a whole lot at the beginning.

Can you imagine a team comes up with a play no one can stop and the league bans it? That'd be some bullshit. It would be like banning the slam dunk after Earl Lloyd was drafted.

Earl Lloyd was the first African American to play in the NBA, on October 31, 1950. Lloyd played forward for the Washington Capitols.

Happy Black History Month

How about Patrick Mahomes faking like he's going to do the QB slide and then he lunges for another 5 yards? If the QB is to be protected like they are doing now, then that's not fair to the D. I say they should change the rule once a QB is past the line of scrimmage, all you have to do is touch him and he's down. Just touch him. That's it.

Mahomes also does that crap where he heads for the sidelines and then pauses as he reaches the line and makes the defense hit him and then flails as he falls out of bounds

I also hate where the tackler goes low and the runner/QB ducks down and their helmets hit….15 yards

It's a QB sneak I don't know how you make it illegal.

Go back to no pushing for a gain.

 

[sealybobo]

Every run play the offensive line pushes for a gain.

Pushing the ball carrier. That used to be against the rules.

Honestly, why are we talking about this? Because Kansas City can't stop it? So we're going to change the rules because Kansas City doesn't like the rule? It hurts?

Eagles have somewhat defined themselves with their unstoppable "Tush Push" play. After all, there's not much defenses can do when a great running quarterback like Jalen Hurts gets behind the Eagles' dominant offensive line in short-yardage situations.

As it turns out, there's a huge toll to defending the Eagles' unstoppable play we don't always immediately see, either.

In the early portions of Sunday's Super Bowl, Chiefs perennial All-Pro pass-rusher Chris Jones showed us just how taxing it is to even oppose the Eagles on their signature play. After Philadelphia unsurprisingly pushed Hurts across the goal line to take a 7-0 lead, Jones was seen wincing in pain over a neck massage.

WAAAAAA!!!

This has nothing to do with KC. This has been a discussion for years now. Since they started doing this play. Just because a team is successful with something doesn’t make it immune to a rule change.

I actually enjoy Football

I remember Football when the Offense and Defense had an equal chance
I remember when running and passing contributed equally
I remember Football before QBs and Receivers were not prima donna’s

How about this for a rule change. This is where the defense needs to line up

It seems like today they are lined up more like this before they hike the ball. Anyone else notice that?
