It appears the Bills transformed "The Tush Push" into "Pick Up the QB and Carry Him Forward".

Pretty farcical. I hope the NFL changes back to the original prohibiting "Aiding the Runner".

they also have lineman coming behind defenders and pulling them the other way. at some point they need to start calling something in those situations as its a cesspool of bullshit as it exists right now

That is still a penalty but they didn’t call it here.

It’s not just the tush push they should ban, it’s any push of the ball carrier by the offense. It happens in college too where a runner is stopped and then the OL just comes flying in to push him forward. But if the defense does the same thing they’re risking a penalty because forward progress stopped is called so inconsistently.

Aiding the runner is almost entirely reserved for teammates actually pulling (or even lifting/carrying) the ball carrier, not so much for pushing. On the Allen play, one of those guys absolutely lifted him up and helped move him forward.

Would like to see them ban pushing ball carrier between the tackles and within 5 yards of line of scrimmage. I think there already a rule against pulling (though never called).

If you’re going to allow that crapola, then there’s no reason players shouldn’t be able to elevate off other players trying to block FGs/PATs
