If the Green Bay Packers were hoping their crying and complaining about the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback sneak would push the rest of the league into action, they will be sadly mistaken.
As we get closer to owner meetings down in Florida this weekend, it appears the Packers official request to ban the "Tush Push" from being used on them again will be dying there.
"It's unclear whether the Packers' proposed ban of the tush push will get the 24 votes among the 32 NFL owners necessary to be approved, source says. ‘Not sure it can get 24.' The sentiment is mixed on the NFL competition committee about the proposal. The owners meet next week," Mark Maske of the Washington Post said Wednesday.
Philadelphia has been the most successful team in the NFL over the last three seasons with their unique variation of the quarterback sneak.
With the best offense in football and a quarterback that squats over 600 pounds, the Eagles are a team that has the unique characteristics necessary to run the play successfully more than others.

And that pisses off a lot of other teams.
The Packers, Dallas Cowboys, and other organizations have made their gripes about the play known. The excuses of why the play should be banned range from it being a "non-football play" to injury concerns.
Except the rest of the league doesn't share in those concerns.
Philadelphia has created an unstoppable offensive play in short-yardage situations. And it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon.
