Let's not ignore it got to the point where the officials threatened to grant PHI a TD.

I don't recall a bunch of GL offsides due to hard counts causing officials to threaten granting the offense a touchdown. Perhaps I've missed that.

Okay? But that’s always been the rule, but are you saying that the only reason to ban the play is because other teams can’t stay on sides? How does that make any sense?

I'm not saying that it's the only reason. I think the NFL was embarrassed by that situation. I think they generally don't like the optics of the play and they're using "injuries" and "pace of play" as a defense.

I have no issue with them returning to the original rule and enforcing it.

Optics is bs since its way too subjective. So if one team feels like the forward pass is bad optics, we should ban it? Nah, it’s all because one team is really good at it and they won the Super Bowl

Okay. It wouldn't be what "one team feels". 24 teams/organizations have to vote to change the rule.

I understand this feels like a Packers vs Eagles thing, but it's not 1 v 1.

If GB and PHI didn't play at all last year and they still submit the rule change, does that change anything?

If the eagles and packers handed played last year, especially in the playoffs, the packers would not have brought the rule change up

I disagree. Mark Murphy has been on the competition committee for years. Not sure if their new CEO will continue to be or not.

Regardless, if the Tush Push had been discussed in those meetings, there's certainly reason to believe he would submit the rule change without GB having played PHI.
