Yeah I'm done with it, I was on the fence about it in offseason but now I hope it gets banned if they aren't going to officiate it properly. Overall the Eagles got away with so much shit yesterday it was unbelievable.
 
My view of the tush push has traditionally been that it's up to the defense to stop it, so I opposed banning it. That said, if the refs aren't going to call the play fairly, they should ban it. As I see it, the options are ban it or call penalties from the booth if the refs on the field won't do it. When the Eagles are false starting every single time and getting away with it because the refs can't see the ball, it's cheating.
Totally agree and furthermore if allowed to start early its also a player safety issue.
 
If the refs can't see the right guard dive forward before the ball is snapped because they are lined up illegally the play must be banned. Or at least made reviewable. The NFL has got to get a handle on this. Other teams are complaining about the same things. False starts take place every time.
 
“It’s getting very sloppy and officials can’t officiate it,” one anonymous coach told the outlet. “They have to make sure no one is in the neutral zone and that no one moves before the ball. There are just a lot of missed calls on the play.”
