Packers will have to stop it on the field much to the chagrin of their organization

I hope another team does what Washington did and keep jumping offsides. I can only imagine the lawsuits from gamblers if Philly was awarded a TD without crossing the goal line.

Besides, it is an excellent strategy as eventually there is a very good chance that Philly would jump before the snap and they'd get the 5-yarder.

Why would gamblers file a lawsuit? Against whom?

Yeah, they would threaten the jumpers kids, not file a lawsuit.

If they enforce the line of scrimmage rules correctly I have no problem with it. Packers stopped it multiple times last year. Wasn't their issue with the Eagles

They should have proposed a ban on wide receiver reverses on short yardage plays to stop LaFleur from calling them

The Lions voted against banning the tush push and I understand their reasoning.  In addition to the tush push, one of the Lions pet moves would have been made illegal.  And that is when one of their runners is stood up a few yards downfield hasn't gone down yet.  Detroit O-linemen will crash into that scrum, pushing the whole pile 3-5-7 yards further downfield. 
  Detroit wanted to continue to do that, so viva la tush push.

I would usually agree, but I'm not sure that's possible without a lot more injuries.

Against the NFL for arbitrarily awarding points that change the outcome bets.

Nota great chance of winning, but to question whether or not people file silly lawsuits is giving people way more credit than they deserve.

Yeah I don't really have a problem with it. The only reason I wanted it banned is because I think it's boring as hell.
