Packers Push to Ban the **** Push

[Firethorn1001]

I wonder why they asked us. Florio is right; it made us look like crybabies because they beat us twice last year. Hope we get some sort of payback down the road on some issue or another.

Florio is an idiot. Dude whines more than a 2 year old that had their sucker taken away. I'm sure when the Eagles use the **** push in week 10 Florio will be pulling out the lotion and tissues and givin' it a go.

21 other teams agreed with the proposal so, he going to whine about them too?

At some point someone important will blow a knee out on the play, the NFL will look like idiots, the product on the field will suffer and the play will go the way of the Dodo bird. Happened in baseball with blocking the plate. Posey got destroyed and rule changed pretty quickly.

To me, the **** push should be illegal. It being legal really destroys the old rule that said you could not aid a ball carrier to move the ball forward. If you can push him, the next thing is they'll let them grab the guys in front of them and be a flying wedge.

Ooh, I'd pay to watch that.

Cowboy fans probably don't think much of it either.

I know Cowboys fans who get angry and claim Kramer lined up offsides.

I'm not a fan of the T Push. It will take a star QB getting injured on the play to get it out of the league.

It'll happen, no doubt about it. Look at the QB rules now. If your hand even touches his helmet there's yellow laundry everywhere on the field and they're ready to put the defender in cuffs and cart them off to the hoosegow!

To me its not NFL at all. You shouldnt be able to lay a hand on a player and push anyone forward. The opposition should TACKLE - which seems to becoming a lost art.

2 votes from passing. 22-10 is 2/3 but sounded like they needed 24 if I got numbers right.

24 of 32 is 75%. AKA 3/4.

Haven't heard hoosegow used since my father.

Rodger Godell is such a coward, he knows this is bad football, and this Philly sausage Rugby push is not football, ok then,
let players leap over at the QB and gang tackle him no penalties called.

Haven't heard hoosegow used since my father.

You're clearly not a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, because it is a noticeable lyric in their hit song "Give It Away" from the 90s:

Low brow, but I rock a little know how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart, get down with the pow-wow
Never been a better time, than right now

 

[El Guapo]

I like that the Packers and other teams have at least been wise enough to use a TE on the play, putting less risk to the QB. However, I think that the injury risk is relatively the same as a QB sneak.

And the effort to end the push gets voted down. The push lives on.

For now. 22 teams voted against it, so this may come up again next off-season.

Bless their hearts.

So can two big guys take a really small guy, and throw him into the endzone?

That thought had already crossed at least 1 person's mind.

Contrary to the reputation of where I work, I really do try to avoid blogging completely unsubstantiated rumors. I mean, I did do it yesterday with something I literally heard over the phone. But that...
