    nbcsports trying real hard to push “tush push” for the Eagles play. They said it three times in the short article.

    It is, and always will be, The Brotherly Shove!

    Woah… at least 1 sideline ref is also super concerned about the OL alignment on field goals too. It isn’t all about QB sneaks.

    Isn’t the real story that the Packers aren’t showing the team the weekly video that covers the points of emphasis or aren’t having the position coaches communicator the relevant points to the players?

      Both times he was called for it he was well behind the ball. Neither time, was anyone even CLOSE to being offsides. It was only called because they tried to QB sneak, and nothing more. If all 10 players lined up 10 yards behind the center, they still would have called offsides.

        Dude he was clearly lined up with the center on the second penalty. The first was tacky, the second definitely offsides

    I think the Green Bay Packers are trying to phase out scoring points by lining up offsides, personally

      Man that Sunday game was painful to watch on both sides. We were an absolute disaster but y’all sure did everything you could to keep us in it.

        While that may be true the NFL has called offsides on us multiple times this season when we’ve never been offsides. They keep trying to saying Kelce’s hand is Dickerson’s hand, when it’s not. It’s Kelce’s and he’s allowed to put his hand in the neutral zone.

            You are almost seeing the whole picture then. The ball is placed by the ref. Kelce extends the ball once his hand is on it. This makes it appear the defense is offsides, unless you knew it was the center who extended his arm a foot or two forward. And if you didn’t notcie that the center extended his arm forward, it would look as if somebody on defense is offsides. This is what refs have been looking for this year after being tipped off about it in the offseason.

          It’s because Kelce routinely pushes the ball forward when he grabs it off the original line of scrimmage. Some refs are actually able to recognize what the true LOS is and are calling it correctly.

          In defense of the referee, he’s looking down the line past 3 other bodies from the sideline. It’s not exactly easy to figure out whose arm is in the neutral zone. I’m not saying it’s the right call, but you guys aren’t intentionally getting screwed over

          Same for us. They constantly get confused and flag the wrong player. Also tons of “ineligible receiver down field” on our OL. Feels like they never called that and now it’s at least once a game.

          They also called false start on the center. I’m not a rules expert, but isn’t the center… the one who starts? How can he be false?

          I get we are young and inexperienced and going to make mistakes… but some of those calls are head scratchers.

            It feels like ineligible man downfield and grounding calls have increased league wide this year due to more strict enforcement of the rules.

            Center can false start just like any other player if they flinch/act like they’re going to snap the ball and then don’t. If they move forward without snapping the ball it’s also a false start.

        Ya that’s probably the thing I’ve hated the most this year. Random dumb penalties. Often ones that don’t even affect the play. Very frustrating to watch.

      Offsides has been a rule for over a century. I’m not sure if enforcing offsides is altering the game of football.

      Because to the NFL its not a sport its an entertainment product. They weren’t pushing the Swifty nonsense so hard because it was good for the game, only because it was good for their bottom line.

      Because they don’t see QB sneaks as “exciting” so they’ll throw a flag for offsides and kill a drive so the fans can see the most electrifying play in all of sports entertainment, the punt

    I mean, it’s been kind of obvious. And by kind of, I mean very. Eagles are getting called offsides at least once a game on the tush push now. More than once the offsides wasn’t even called on the right player. More than once they were called offsides while the defense actively had defenders not only in the neutral zone, but with their hand(s) under or past the ball. Truth be told, its cowardly and craven of the NFL to do so while the play continues to be legal. If you’re going to ban it at the next coach’s meeting then do so, but don’t penalize a team for abiding by the actual rules.
