2026 NFL Offseason Thread

Bills ran it more than Eagles. Despite Bills voting to ban it
And the Bills didn’t exploit as many procedural issues.

First couple years Philly ran it the league mostly had an it is what it is mentality about it. 23/24 season is when Philly consistently lined up over the ball, lane Johnson further back into backfield as rest of the line, false starting getting a jump on the play.

That in turn made defenders start lining up over the ball and leaving as early. Which is what made the play free for all. It’s not a coincidence once they started to ref the play tougher the success rate went to similar rate as the Bills and pre 2023 Eagles
