I don't understand what's happening here but the Vikes have a counter to
the tush push play

Which is awesome and good evolution as opposed to cry babies just wanting
it banned!

Need to find a way to absolutely punish the QB to get it stopped

I don't like the tush push, but its a legal play.
Philly should run it until its banned.

My main beef with the proponents of having it banned is that there is one
team doing it extremely successfully. It's not as if all 32 NFL teams can get a 4th & short on the tush push at will. If the play should be banned from a competition standpoint it's because it's a play that everyone can easily convert, causing the offense an unfair advantage. It's just one team and as much as Philadelphia is a fun sports city to loathe, I'm a man of principle.

Banning anything or everything is the first kneejerk reaction to anything.
You heard that here first.

We've always [or never] done it that way!
Tush push was called "aiding the runner," and was a penalty in HS, when I officiated rec FB. I took CH out of a drive against Petersburg by calling it. It became a rule of emphasis the next year in HS. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Exactly. All they have to do is change the rule back to the way it was.
That's not whining. That's tradition. pffft...newbies. No respect for the game.

I don't love that a player isn't down when they are on top of someone.

I think my problem is that its a false start all the time and rarely called

That, to me, is a separate issue. If there are infractions then call it.
That's certainly not a reason to ban it. Just call the penalty flag as you would with any other play. I'm naive, are OL generally moving before the snap? ** Edited by BG Hokie at 10/21/2025, 8:03:06 AM

I hear that said a lot! I don't know, but if so, needs to be called

No they aren't. Even flinching or the centers head nodding aggressilvely
will be called. I don't have a problem with the play at all. Just the enforcement of the false starts.

Subjective rule that should be eliminated

FYI, I believe Philly picked up the first down on that play
