The controversial 'tush push' play is on the brink of extinction, and the NFL is divided.
As the Eagles' Week 6 game against the Giants unfolded, it seemed the talk of the town would be their unique play and the challenges it presented. The Eagles' trademark move resulted in a touchdown, showcasing their dominance and leaving officials scratching their heads over potential false starts.
The difficulty of officiating this play has become a key argument for its removal, along with injury concerns and the play's unconventional nature. But here's where it gets interesting: the league office's stance is clear - it's not a traditional football play.
However, there's a twist. If the Eagles' secret weapon fails to deliver them to the Super Bowl, some teams might lose interest in banning it. It's a unique play that no other team can master, and many believe the pushback is simply envy of the Eagles' success.
And this is the part most people miss: if the Eagles' season ends without a Super Bowl appearance, and the effort to ban the play fizzles out, it could be seen as an admission of jealousy towards the Eagles.
So, is the debate about the play's legitimacy, or is it a case of sour grapes? What do you think? Should the NFL allow unique plays like the 'tush push' to thrive, or should they be stamped out? Let us know in the comments!
