The Philadelphia Eagles mocked the Green Bay Packers for failing to get the “tush push” banned by the NFL. For the past year, Packers exec Mark Murphy has spoken about wanting to get the play banned because he felt it was “bad for the game.”
“I am not a fan of this play. There is no skill involved and it is almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less. The series of plays with the Commanders jumping offsides in the NFC Championship game to try to stop the play was ridiculous,”
“The referee even threatened to give the Eagles an automatic touchdown if the Commanders did not stop it. I would like to see the league prohibit pushing or aiding the runner [QB] on this play. There used to be a rule prohibiting this, but it is no longer enforced, because I believe it was thought to be too hard for the officials to see.”
“The play is bad for the game, and we should go back to prohibiting the push of the runner. This would bring back the traditional QB sneak. That worked pretty well for Bart Starr and the Packers in the Ice Bowl.”
On Wednesday, the Packers’ initiative to ban the “Tush Push” failed to get the required 24 votes.

“A ban of the Push Tush play that the Philadelphia Eagles popularized did not receive enough votes at today’s league meeting in Minneapolis. The play remains alive. There will be more tush pushes this season.”
“Final vote on the proposed ban of the Tush Push, per sources: 22-10. At least 24 votes were needed to ban The Tush Push.”
The Eagles immediately trolled the Packers on social media for failing to get the Tush Push banned.
