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.”

When fate of Eagles’ Tush Push could be decided as calls for ban grow

Uproar over the Tush Push materialized again just weeks into the NFL season, but that doesn’t mean the path to banning it got any easier.

Haha, is this some kind of joke? I'm in disbelief.

Im beginning to belive that because the NFL is an entertainment company that refs are told to keep games close or to bend the rules in favor of certain teams. There's too much inconsistencies game to game and team to team.

Example puka Personal foul for flexing. Dude has been doing that for three weeks straight then gets a weird flag?
No obvious PI calls, no obvious false starts. Even the holding call against Shelton was completely away from thr play and had no barring on the outcome.

Obviously my tin foil hat could be melting my brain but my eyes tell me something is and has been off in the NFL for sometime.
Additionally even if reffing crews were caught fixing games the NFL would do everything to hide it from the public. Example: burning the spygate tapes.

1) Isn't there a rule about having x player's lined up on the LOS and how does this picture demonstrate compliance?
2) If jalen is on top of other players, when is he down and how is he allowed to continually squirt forward? He often gets the 1st after a second effort. (happened today)
3) If jalen is allowed to body surf for the first why have none of the times the defense has stripped the ball been called a fumble

I have thought all of those things as well. Perplexing.
 
IF there is a known infraction on every attempt and the refs are not flagging it, who are the owners that are not voting to ban it? I'd like to know a single owner outside of the Eagles owner that benefits from it? Eagles may not have won the game had the refs called the tush pushes correctly. And as far as the fumble goes, if Hurts is allowed to gain yards surfing on those bodies, that is a live ball and thus should be eligible for fumbling, which he did just prior to the whistle yesterday, yet he gets the benefit of the doubt and they say his momentum was stopped prior, meanwhile, he is moving the ball forward for more yards. These Eagle games need to be heavily scrutinized by the NFL as they are just getting advantageous calls that zero other teams in the NFL are getting.
