Late games and SNF thread

If it’s such an obvious advantage why doesn’t every team develop it? It is not a complex play. The Eagles have been doing it for years. Three NFL head coaches came out of the Sirianni stable. They obviously know what it takes to run the play. They don’t seem to think it’s important enough for their teams to use it. Daniel Jones did get assisted by a push today. But every team utilizes pushing the ball carrier to some degree every game.

Now that the play is so controversial the NFL will probably never change the rule.

Maybe controversial because of several things..
Both lines are crammed so close together. You can’t tell who is offsides or not, and if any movement before the snap as well. And where the ball truly ends up at.

Was forward progress stopped, as to how long before the refs blow the whistle. Was his knee down and can’t tell. If the QB is laying on top of OL or DL. But not on the ground, but not moving, should he be down, or the play called dead. If not, is it fair they can still push him.


Mostly judgment calls.
 
Another reason I didn't love the trade to the Packers.

McCarthy is not an NFL QB and neither is Caleb. North is a weak division.

Yeah but if we can see it on the replay, they can see it on the replay. But if they're actually too blind or they just don't care, then everybody should start doing the same exact thing.

The huge attention the play gets has entertainment value. This is a league that loves to put images of Taylor Swift on broadcasts every chance they get. The “tush push” is now part of the show that is the NFL.

An offense does have an advantage if their OL is able to get a head start on short yardage type of plays that goes up the middle. The Eagles might be the best at running the play. But as long as the Refs are going to allow their OL to false start, then others teams should have their OL do the same thing a few times a game against the Eagles defense. To really test out the theory that the NFL allows the Eagles to have unfair advantages.

And this is about those who are noticing the Eagles OL getting a jump on the ball before it's snapped. If there are no advantages then other OLs should be able to do the same thing without the penalties being thrown on them at a higher rate than they are against the Eagles OL.
