Although I am not a fan of the play, it does take football to back to the rugby roots, so I am OK keeping. One thing I do hate is the ability to push your players forward on every play. I guess that survives as well since tush push remains.

Why not change the name of the game roPushball? Positively should not be allowed when the O has possession ,going in, inside the 10 __yd line

How is it not football? It's the most football. It's a battle to see who is stronger. Come at me and I'll try to stop you. I can more easily make the claim that all those really cool gadget plays that KC dreams up look way less like football. Do we ban them? What a stupid reason. Just admit it. You want to ban it because your team can't stop it.

It shows how mediocre NFL coaching has become that only one team runs the push well

What I dont understand is how a qb sneak passes everyone’s eye test but this doesn’t
A QB is just a runner as designed on those plays. If you are referring to allowing RBs to push the QB in, which was not allowed 20 years ago, that is the reason they can’t ban the play now. They would have to ban all plays where the offensive players push the ball carrier.

If you like it great, you'll likely see more and more of it across other teams as the NFL is a copycat league. Personally having a lot more of watching a moving scrum with players pushing the runner from behind not really an entertaining watch for me.

Just saying the qb sneak is not anymore visually appealing
