I'd be happy if they just banned the name "tush push"

Laughed at seeing someone post what I've been thinking. It's in the realm of "bubble gut" and "wobble noggin" for me.

How do y'all feel about "Brotherly Shove?"

On one hand, it always feels like a guaranteed first down or touchdown when the Eagles do it. On the other hand, other teams have tried to replicate it but with far less success.

If most teams were running this type of play with a crazy success % then sure, let’s talk about why that’s happening. Until then, it just feels like sore losers complaining about a play they’re not good enough to stop or use themselves.

The Chiefs stopped it twice in the AFC Championships.

The play shouldn't be illegal. Teams just need to do a better job defending it.

If they don't like its use, they should keep their defenses out of short yardage situations, not ban an offensive strategy.

Just ban 1-yard try’s. Push it back to the 5 no matter what.
