The Packers Submitted A Proposal To Remove One Specific Play

The Philadelphia Eagles' notorious "tush push" has become unstoppable. If it's third down or even fourth down, and there's a yard or less to gain to move the sticks, everyone knows what play the Eagles are running.

Green Bay is trying to stop it without being able to stop it on the field.

Reports surfaced on Monday that one NFL team submitted a proposal to the NFL's competition committee to have the play banned. The Athletic's Dianna Russini has confirmed that the Packers were the mystery team.

That shouldn't come as a surprise after what Packers president Mark Murphy said earlier this month about the play. Answering fan questions on Packers.com, Murphy didn't hide his thoughts on the tush push.

Certainly, this will go over well on social media.

The Packers will now become the punching bag as the team who went and cried to the league about the Eagles having an unstoppable play.

What's most bizarre about the play is that it hasn't been widely replicated throughout the league. Philadelphia executes it flawlessly and usually without resistance. As a result, you'd expect the rest of the league to figure it out, but that hasn't really been the case.

There were multiple third-and-short plays this year for Green Bay where they would send tight end Tucker Kraft in motion only to have him line up under center and take a quick snap to chug forward. That play worked well for the Packers.

Murphy isn't the first and won't be the last to suggest the tush push should perhaps be outlawed. This has been a hot topic for a couple of years now. But nobody really wants to be the team that proposes outlawing it, and that team is the Green Bay Packers.
