Joe Buck sides with Eagles on the Tush Push controversy

The NFL just can’t quit crying about the Tush Push. Every week it feels like we hear a new coach, analyst, or exec whine about how the Eagles are “cheating” with a play that nobody else in the league can stop.

Yet here we are, another national voice finally saying what Eagles fans have been screaming for two years now. On Good Morning America this week, legendary broadcaster Joe Buck was asked about the play, and his answer couldn’t have been more perfect.

Yes, I just called Joe Buck legendary. I know it’s crazy, right? Given the crazy reactions to the Eagles’ one-yard QB sneak play this week, it really only made sense that someone like Joe Buck would come to their defense on national television.

You have NFL Corporate Shills like Al Michaels and Adam Schefter attempting to discredit the Tush Push any time someone puts a microphone in front of their rat-like faces but not Joe Buck. He told that lady and creepy George Stephanopoulos that teams simply need to figure out a way to stop the Eagles from being so good at it.

Creepy George Stephanopoulos, by the way, obviously doesn’t watch a lick of football and referred to the play as the “Push Tush” which is disgusting in it’s own rights, but I digress. Let’s roll the tape.

Simple. Honest. Exactly what everyone outside of Philadelphia refuses to admit. It’s not the Eagles’ fault other teams don’t the have answers to stopping our quarterback who can squat 600 pounds. Not to mention having all offseason to figure out ways to even replicate it or stop it.

The Tush Push didn’t just appear out of thin air. The NFL has technically allowed pushing the ball carrier from behind since 2005, after clearing up some language in the rulebook. Nobody thought twice about it until the Eagles turned it into an unstoppable weapon.

Jason Kelce himself has said the play is way harder than it looks, and that’s exactly why no one else can replicate it. It’s not “rugby.” It’s not “cheap.” It’s just flat-out dominance at the line of scrimmage.

Crybabies Keep Crying

The Chiefs complained about a supposed false start last week. The Packers tried to get the play banned back in May. And every single time, it falls on deaf ears because deep down, the league knows there’s nothing wrong with it.

The safety concerns? Overblown. The lack of “athleticism”? Laughable. If Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen were pulling it off, ESPN would call it revolutionary. Since it’s the Eagles running through people every Sunday, the narrative becomes “unfair.”
