I hate the play...but mostly because the Eagles seemed to run it better than anyone else.
What are your thoughts?

I just wish Luvu had gone offside for the 3rd time in that playoff game, it would have embarrassed the league to see a TD scored from that, i understand why he didn't but it would have been awesome.

It's not a football play and it's never been a football play.

I see Troy Vincent mentioned their safety committee is looking into it. I think they end up banning it.

Well 24 teams need to agree to it. It was a bigger issue 2 years ago and Troy Vincent said they shouldn't take a play away just cause another team does it well. The only way they consider banning it is if it starts hurting people, not because a team can't stop it.

i miss the days when it was a penalty to push or pull your teammate to the goal-line or 1st down marker.
its an illegal asst any way you cut it.
banned???
it should be a penalty.

In 2006 it was made legal, any way you cut it

to push....not pull or carry your teammate.
that is still a penalty but rarely called.
high school has it right...you can't push,pull or carry.

I don't care for it but it shows an extreme softness by the Packers to complain about it. Pretty sad and embarrassing if you ask me.

the so called competition committee is the biggest problem the NFL has

The continual rules tinkering that makes the game worse and worse

they have pretty much destroyed the onside kick

their so called catch rules stupidity is just the most obvious
