The Green Bay Packers have put themselves in position to compete for a championship in the very near future.

After not only making the playoffs two years in a row under Jordan Love, they increased their win total from 9 to 11 in those two years.

They did so without Love for essentially three games (two to injury and he sat out almost the entire week 18 matchup against the Chicago Bears).

However, it was President Mark Murphy who had a big update just weeks after the NFL Owners meeting.

“It’s Really Not Good” Packers President Makes Huge Announcement (Breaking)

One of the biggest proponents of banning the “Tush Push” play entirely was Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy. In his view, NFL owners will see the light and vote to ban it:

“I think it ended up in a good place,” Murphy said in a one-on-one interview released on Wednesday of last week on the Packers’ YouTube channel. “We ended up tabling it but we had really good discussions. Talked a little bit about our safety concerns regarding the play, just kind of the style of the play. But good interaction with the league. So it’ll be tabled. And then what we’re going to do is, it’ll be voted on in the May meeting.

“In 2005, the league did away with the rule that you couldn’t push runners. We’re going to go back and see the language we had in 2004. I’m optimsitic. I think there’s enough people who kind of look at it and say it’s really not good for the game. It’s more a rugby play than a football play, just kind of go back to what used to be the rule.”

In the end, there’s not much more to be said. Despite NFL data showing otherwise, tush push detractors have repeatedly cited injury risk as their primary reason to ban it.

It’s not a football play, according to Murphy, who introduced the ban in a rule proposal earlier this year. Whether other owners agree will be decided in May.

Fans are still reacting to the play:
