I'm sure that league officials have watched film and noticed the illegalities in the way the Eagles execute the sneak. But because those same league officials are part of a wider conspiracy to favor some teams over others, they'll continue to allow it.

It's the same grave injustice that has victimized the Cowboys for many years. It's a shame Jerry can't do anything about it.
I bet you're a blast at parties.

The NFL needs to take close look at the way the Eagles execute their "QB sneak" b/c while most teams use the "tush-push" maneuver, they push the QB straight forward, but the Eagles' "pushers" (two of them) actually push and lift him so he goes over the top. If you watch, after most "QB sneaks" the QB usually ends up in or under the pile... Hurts ends up on top.

In their game vs Wash. (IIRC), I saw them actually grab Hurts' waistband as they were lift/pushing him.

I mean, if that shit's legal, we should just put two extra linemen in the backfield with Deuce, then have him take the snap and get "tossed" over the line.
Definitely wrong. Remember a year or two ago when our line was pushing Zeke and his feet came off of the ground? They stopped the play.

:lol Yeah, I often refer to it as the NFEL... it's becoming unwatchable. Between the refs and the piss poor play (due to systematic decline in the talent), the league is circling the drain. I think (the NFL "powers") see it too... hence the proliferation of FF in recent years and this new "focus" on gambling. They're artificially trying to bolster interest in a faltering product.

It also appears that the announcers/analysts have been mandated to "pump the sunshine"... it's irritating listening to these ppl "talk up" every play/player like they've just witnessed greatness.
The gambling aspect is Ruining it for me. Tired of hearing all the nonsense

Yea and then when you have one team called for about 12 penalties and the other with zero it leads to people questioning the integrity of the game, and with good reason.
Is this a single game record for penalty differential? Google search turns up nothing.

I can't recall a single time the Vikings have done Cowboys fans a solid in beating a rival when it matters.

So giving out the address of a ref who makes a bad call is about the integrity of the game. Give it a fuckin' rest.
We're just trying to Inspire Change, deadrise.

Haven't you heard that It Takes All Of Us?

Why remove the eagles? They certainly should never win one more than anyone else.
