The latest tush push stir was one of several erroneous whistles in Week 8, including one that took away a defensive touchdown from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But the whistle that negated Hurts’ fumble was in the spotlight because so many times this season the Eagles have benefitted from questionable rulings on the play, which is typically run at the goal line.

Giants coach Brian Daboll tried to challenge the ruling on the field but the officiating crew told him he couldn’t challenge whether or not it was a fumble because the whistle had blown the play dead. The Giants chose to challenge the spot and they lost that argument, too.

After losing the game and standout rookie running back Cam Skattebo to a devastating ankle injury, Daboll declined to criticize the officials.

“Yeah, I’ll just say our guys upstairs were pretty adamant about challenging the play. I have a lot of trust and faith in them and it didn’t work out,” Daboll said. “Not going to get into any particulars though with it.”

The non-fumble was all the talk around the NFL on Monday, but Daboll was still shush on the tush push.

“No, I haven’t heard from the league about it,” Daboll said.

Pressed if he had reached out to the league about it, Daboll said, “Any of those penalties or officiating, I’m not going to comment on.”

Daboll is doing well to avoid a fine but the tush push is going to remain a hot topic as long as it remains so troublesome, and chances are good it’ll get brought up again in the offseason and maybe all the brouhaha surrounding the play this season will force owners to take another look at banning it altogether.

Which might be the only way it can be stopped.
