Eagles fans won't love the most recent update on proposed 'tush push' banning

Never in a million years did we ever assume we'd see people angry because one team ran the quarterback sneak better than another. That's what got us all here. You do realize that, don't you? Ask yourselves a question. What have the Philadelphia Eagles done wrong?

No, seriously... What rule have they broken?

If we're wrong, tell us such, but think about this for a second. Is it not legal for a 'Brotherly Shove' to be run by an offense? Are all teams allowed to run some variation of their own?

Is it not legal for members of the offense to push the QB from behind attempting to help propel him forward? Has the QB sneak not been a part of this game for decades?

We only ask because, though we've ignored much of what we have read (and more of what we have heard), we still keep hearing things like 'this isn't a football play'.

So, before we said anything, we delved into a mental checklist. Can a 'Brotherly Shove' be called from the sidelines? Can a QB relay the call to his teammates in an 11-man huddle? Have the Birds ever been flagged for running it successfully?

That sounds like a football play to us! But, we all know none of that has anything to do with this. The real issue is teams are angry because they can't stop the Eagles and they don't run the play well enough to add it to their playbook.

There are two words for that: Jealousy... Cowardly... Here are two more... 'Inferiority complex'... But, on the subject of Philly's controversial play, we have an update.

An update comes in the call to ban the Eagles' tush push.

By now, you have heard the news. The Green Bay Packers took an 'L' vs. the Eagles in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, and instead of taking the loss on the chin, they fouled a grievance, anonymously...

In one of the most cowardly moves we have ever seen, they petitioned to ban Philly's controversial play. Regardless of what they mentioned as their reasoning, the true reason that they did so was this. They aren't big enough to say Philly is tougher, and the Packers' defense can't stop them.

But in the meantime, it sounds like there has been an update, even if nothing is set in stone yet.
Dianna Russini recently reported that the 'push' to secure a ban (pun intended) is gaining momentum.

When this discussion began, more often than not, we ignored it, but we have to be honest here. This is starting to tick us off. Are we truly banning plays everyone can run because one team runs it at a higher success rate than everyone else?

What's next? Do we ban QBs like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen from scrambling because some teams don't have quarterbacks who are athletic? Or, better yet, how about we ban A.J. Brown's slant route because no one can stop that either?

This might be the single most unnecessary debate in the history of professional football. 'This isn't a football play'... 'This isn't fair'... Are you serious?

The Packers should be ashamed of themselves. So should everyone who is calling for a ban. What in the world is our game coming to?
