My Buddy.  I love Built in Buffalo.. I have so much respect for the people involved that every time they go live.. I go there to PAY MY respects. 

 

Here is where I think they messed up.  IF you go back to "@SharpFootball on X and read the content.. most of it is stats.. or something said by someone else.. with a SMALL mix of clickbait in it..  SharpFootball has a ton of followers but they follow more because the tons and tons of content he puts out on stats, content from other sources but very little "clickbait" content like this.

 

In short.. With Respect.. I trust SharpFootball sources very little where I LOVE the statistical content and other content creator stuff he finds to post. 

 

Just wanted to share with you my thoughts on SharpFootball. 

with respect bro.

Banning a play that everyone can do seems like whining because you aren’t good at it. Should they have banned qb sneaks because Brady was good at them? 

It's more like banning a play where one team gets the benefit of the doubt that the first down is made unless there is evidence to the contrary, and another team (the Bills) needs to provide evidence that the first down was made.

 

Now that the play has been exposed that the refs have no idea with spotting the ball, the play should be retired.  Also it's an unattractive play, already flirting with rule violations in getting pushed from behind, and seems like only a matter of time before someone just goes full out to injure the QB.

Room for thought: If the tush push was illegal would we have beat the Chiefs?

We'd have still run sneaks. They aren't making sneaks illegal. Just the idea of the tush push.

Was there colorful language?

 

I heard it was quite the kerfuffle! 

 

 

 

I like to work that in when I can.  😊

You mean like punching him in the head repeatedly?

They didn't care about that. 

 

What they did care about was when the one team had a strategy to defend the tush-push by guessing the count and sending a defender flying over the center -they got all bent out of shape about that.  After the defense did it a couple of times the refs threatened to award Philly a TD - what?  That annoyed me.

Maybe McDermott wants to keep the Philly pipeline open if he becomes the fall guy

Beane has hinted this offseason he wants it gone.

Feel like we could just do the QB sneak just as effective 

[Mikie2times]

It would be funny if Sean just started clapping in his face without breaking eye contact.

No, Josh Allen is the cheat code.  He should be better than any other QB at the sneak play.  Tush push evens the playing field because it’s more about technique…

Josh Allen is on the bills, right? So like I said, it's a cheat code for the bills since he's the running doing the play

McDermott wants it gone. No surprise 

 

I don't know the stats here, but does McDermott and those wanting it gone have stats to back up their stance?  I mean, I have never heard of anyone getting hurt on the play itself.  Not saying it hasn't happened, but if it has, I haven't heard about it.  Seems like if you are using player safety as the reason to ban it, you need the evidence to back up the claim. 

 

I am neutral on the issue.  Whatever comes of it is fine.  I suppose I will be a little disappointed that we can't do it anymore because, Chiefs game aside, we are very good at it and it is almost a guaranteed first down.  But whatever.  I know there's a lot of fans out there whining about the play because they just think it is cheap and boring.  My argument against that, though, is that the offense has 1 job.....move the ball down the field and get 1st downs within the 4 downs they are given.  Don't like the play?  Find a way to stop it.  I mean, the Chiefs did.....they lined up Offside and told the refs not to call it.  But it worked for them.  Anyway, I just kind of find this whole thing a bit funny.  Of all the things you need to fix in the game, the focus is on a glorified QB sneak.  Whatever.

McDermott is just bitter his team can’t figure how to run the play with a beast at QB.

Do we not run our own version of the tush push frequently with very good success with exception of the Kansas City playoff game? His aggressive take on this topic is bizarre and seems really illogical.

“it’s effective but not proper” isn’t terribly hard to reconcile

Honestly, I might be one of the few people who couldn't care less about whether they ban the tush push. It's just a variant of the Quarterback sneak. Do I think if they change the rules and teams have to go old school QB sneak success rates will plummet? No. They might go down a bit, but not to an extent that radically alters the game. 

Philly and Buffalo will still be excellent at regular sneaks. Probably the two best teams because they have the biggest strongest QBs.

 

Much ado about nothing

[MikePJ76]

They were probably arguing over that goofy hat with the flat brim McDermott was wearing.

 

Does he have an N'Sync tribute album coming out or something?

The tush push should be banned, UNLESS the defense can also push back. In other words, if say the LB could push and drive the dline forward to combat the extra help the oline gets. But at this point that is illegal. Which is stupid. 
 

Offenses already have plenty of advantage, so to also have this is ridiculous

Knowing McD like I think I do. He’s defense centric 

 

He prob had a rotational DLine player of his injury themselves vs a tush push situation. Carter? Phillips? Can’t remember.

 

i guarantee he thinks from a defensive perspective. (I can’t stop this) so he wants it out.

 

despite his obvious advantage OFFENSIVELY with his unicorn qb.

 

just more evidence if anyone needed any for how this coach thinks and operates 

[Hsker4life]

I don’t mind the play itself, but it absolutely needs to be officiated better. Too often Philly moves early or lines up Offside. I’d consider allowing the play but also allowing defenses to challenge those two aspects of the play. 

[Since1981]

I’ve heard DL guys mention the unnatural bends and legs. No stats. I’m not McClappy fan boy but credit for him saying what he feels health-wise when it’s not in his team interest.
