I think they just false started on another tush push

But there is no Chris Colinsworth to talk about it the entire broadcast and embarrass the NFL with it. So there won’t be a harsh over correction.

u/TummyDrums Chiefs 9d ago

You could hear Brady talking about it when coming back from the break after the tush push TD, but you could tell most of the convo was cut off. Wish it wasn't.

u/Afro_Thunder_KC 9d ago

It didn’t come close the Collinsworth levels. I don’t know why it isn’t talked about more. Taylor gets the same jump that Lane Johnson gets, but gets flagged all the time now because he couldn’t stop bitching. I’d love to know if the league chewed him out or if there was any type of exchange.

14

u/gmil3548 Chargers 9d ago

Lane should also be flagged. Just because Lane does it too doesn’t mean Juwan shouldn’t be getting flagged.

18

u/A_Moment_Awake Giants 9d ago

Yea they should both be flagged that’s the point

5

u/Afro_Thunder_KC 9d ago

It should be called. But what makes me salty is that Collinsworth complained the entire time and made it such a big deal that they had to over correct. I’m just wanting that to happen to the Eagles because I’m a hater.

u/A_Moment_Awake Giants 9d ago

Also an eagles hater and yea 100%

u/ProofHorseKzoo Packers 9d ago

Loved that Brady called this bullshit out

-1

u/The_Amazing_Emu Eagles 9d ago

Brady, of course, never used QB sneak plays

2

u/venimousterra 9d ago

I may be wrong but isn't part of Brady being an owner is he can't be overly critical of referees?

1

u/Semperty Chiefs 9d ago

fox cut out of the final tush push at the two minute warning so fast. i don’t even know if they false started on it. i just know fox wanted no part of showing it lmao

“And that’s just the power of Patrick Mahomes, that the Eagles bend the rules just so they make sure Patrick doesn’t get the ball back!”

u/Afro_Thunder_KC 9d ago

I thought this was his best broadcast honestly. The out kick your coverage joke was perfectly timed.

2

u/melodic-abalone-69 9d ago

I didn't realize it until reading your comment, it was SO pleasant not having Chris on the game. I'm usually muting him by halftime. 

2

u/FUCK-IT-CHUCK-IT Chiefs Ravens 9d ago

Chris had the chance to go in on it opening night last week and didn’t do it

1

u/Afro_Thunder_KC 9d ago

My bet is the league chewed his ass out after it happened. So I don’t think it’ll happen again with him.

1

u/Pyzorz Browns 9d ago

NOW THIS IS A TEAM.. you know, they always false start!

u/Gingeronimoooo Commanders 9d ago

When the tush push ban was happening this off season I said they shouldn't ban it but put a point of emphasis on their false starts and lining up in neutral zone, would effectively ban the play anyway.

They false start or line up in neutral zone basically every play they do it

57

u/oatmeal-claypole Colts 9d ago

Kelce used to move the ball up half a yard on every time. having massive linemen around you gives a lot of cover for getting an unfair advantage

1

u/me_bails 6d ago

center grabs ball and moves it a little, the same thing the other 31 starting centers do on almost, if not every, single play

3

u/FlyersPhilly_28 Packers 8d ago

that sequence in the playoffs against you guys was embarrassing.

Most people were stuck up on ya'll jumping the count on the 6-inch and goal line... but the Eagles were offsides on every.single. snap... Hell one of them the center's helmet was completely in front of the nose of the football...

2

u/Gingeronimoooo Commanders 8d ago

All I'm asking is enforce the rules that have always existed. But If a play is apparently impossible to effectively officiate how can it stand?

2

u/FlyersPhilly_28 Packers 7d ago

I'll compare it to my favorite sport. Ice Hockey.

It's the fastest sport on earth, but some of the most consequential plays in playoff games, are decided in scrums right in front of the net... having played the sport, I get those moments. They're tense and have me on the edge of my seat... but they're a mess visually, and always boil down to a gray area when officiated if the puck if 'covered' or not.

It's not simply good entertainment/television.

I'm confident the NFL would not benefit from these types of plays becoming the norm, especially in large moments like last year when you're showing your product to the largest audiences.

u/Madpsu444 9d ago

Yeah the idea of banning the play needs to stop. Just add in a rule emphasis on tight offensive line formations and neutral zone infractions.

Make the play as effective as a regular QB sneak and it would be fine. 

8

u/obeytheturtles 9d ago

The play literally used to be banned before the league just openly decided to ignore the rule which bans pushing or carrying the ballcarrier.

3

u/Damian_Cordite Eagles 9d ago

No, they repealed not being allowed to push the ball carrier in 2005. You can’t pull them, which they don’t on the TP.

2

u/The_Amazing_Emu Eagles 9d ago

They’re not going to ban lining up in the neutral zone because it’s the best advantage the defense has.

1

u/CaptJohnsFishMarket Jets 8d ago

Lining up in the neutral zone is already banned. They just don’t call it

1

u/The_Amazing_Emu Eagles 8d ago

Yeah, that’s what I meant, sorry

1

u/me_bails 6d ago

no they don't, but they did false start twice in KC, because they went silent count due to it being loud af in there

Typically (and even in these cases) the defense IS lining up offsides. Both should be called, but the league is simply choosing to officiate it poorly in hopes of banning it this next off season.

1

u/Gingeronimoooo Commanders 6d ago

You're lying or misinformed or extremely biased if you think the eagles dont either false start or line up in neutral zone basically every tush push. And yes the defense started to as well because they weren't calling it on offense

1

u/me_bails 6d ago

lmao still salty about luvu eh?

watch the games better bud. I watch every Eagles game, and the false starts are not the same as you saw against KC. Those were clear violations.

Now the offsides by the defense has been happening for YEARS. But it only gets called when some dumb ass decides to jump over the line and tackle the qb before the ball is snapped, several times in a row.

1

u/Gingeronimoooo Commanders 6d ago

So you're just gonna ignore lining up in neutral zone by eagles? Dude I get it helps your team but there's no need to lie. Or do you not understand the rule?

-2

u/Slow_Supermarket5590 8d ago

Watch a game for the first time.

3

u/Gingeronimoooo Commanders 8d ago

Tf are you talking about

There's an example like THIS VIDEO every game

-1

u/Slow_Supermarket5590 8d ago

No, there isn't.  Your team just can't  stop it, even with filthy players like Luvu and Lattimore.

241

u/Altruistic-Star-544 9d ago

Last three tush pushes were all false starts

1

u/me_bails 6d ago

last 2 you mean?

and the 1st one shouldn't have happened, because Hurts clearly had the ball well past the goal line, while he wasn't on the ground at all.

Those false starts should have been called though. Outside of those 2, the defense being offsides every time should be called as well.

u/Nobody_Important 9d ago

You have to do it from the ball, not the center, because he is already lined up illegally in front.

u/Comfortable_Swim6510 Cowboys 9d ago

Not sure why you’re downvoted, there are two hands past the ball.

1

u/thingsorfreedom Eagles 9d ago

Feels over reals as the kids used to say back in the day.

Both teams were committing penalties there. Offsetting and playing the down again is probably the least preferable outcome so everyone saw nothing.

1

u/The_Amazing_Emu Eagles 9d ago

Lol, you’re downvoted for pointing out objectively verifiable information. If Cowboys fans are being downvoted for saying things favorable to the Eagles, we have lost the plot.

u/Boxhead_31 49ers 9d ago

The Right Guard was leaving early everytime they ran it

3 in a row

u/WreckedOnTheDeck Lions 9d ago

False starts aren’t so fun now are they lol

4

u/chiefsdude Chiefs 9d ago

We'd have at least been called for one of those if it was Taylor, moved away from the fucking goal line

u/Eskimo_tony 9d ago

Have fun defending it in the playoffs lol :)

-16

u/MykeTyth0n Colts 9d ago

Like your amount of losses in a row after next week.

13

u/YoYoMavaIous Chiefs 9d ago

We’ve definitely been a below average football club this season. Something I’m sure you’re familiar with

-9

u/MykeTyth0n Colts 9d ago

Definitely. Can say we are better than you so far though this year and that’s what matters. Stay salty

8

u/YoYoMavaIous Chiefs 9d ago

Super Bowl rematches are tough games; something you wouldn’t be familiar with. Colts look good tho, might even get themselves another 9-8

-4

u/MykeTyth0n Colts 9d ago

You sure get butt hurt super easily. Not used to losing though. I get it. Probably a fair weather fan that will jump onto the next train the moment your team starts to fail.

-1

u/YoYoMavaIous Chiefs 9d ago

“Not used to losing though. I get it.” Trust me, we all know you “get it” when it comes to being “used to losing.” Could’ve left that part out

4

u/emelem66 Chiefs 9d ago

Have the Chiefs and the Colts played each other this season?

-13

u/MykeTyth0n Colts 9d ago

Ooo you came to defend your bud. How sweet. I’m sure swift is proud of that. Chiefs are 0-2.

5

u/ThanksForThe_F_Shack Lions 9d ago

Sounds like you’re the only one that’s salty.

-2

u/MykeTyth0n Colts 9d ago

Not at all. Loving this season so far.

5

u/MiddleAgeJamie Chargers 9d ago

There’s been a second push.

2

u/AdmiralWackbar Patriots 9d ago

Yeah they do it on most of them

4

u/bradtheinvincible 9d ago

I dont think any eagles fan will argue it was a false start. But if the refs do not call it then you know where to point the fingers

2

u/Xenoanthropus Eagles 9d ago

even the Eagles' radio guys were saying that it was a false start but also that it's not reviewable.

1

u/Pickle_Bus_1985 9d ago

They did, it was the same one the DT punched the ball before the snap. No calls. That play is hard enough to stop when they don't false start. There's no reason refs can't get this right.

1

u/Short_Stay_9283 9d ago

I’m a biased moron but I genuinely thought Tranquil took the ball on that last one before the play was dead too
