Football The Ravens' use of the hurry up offense

I hadn't watched the Ravens this past season so I was really surprised when I looked up their team stats on offense and found that they had were among the leaders in all the catagories you would desire as a fan.

Having not watched them until last night, I was surprised at how effectively they employed the up-tempo or hurry up offense in the second half. I mean they dismantled the Pats defense when most pundits expected it would be the other way around.

It seems like the NFL is starting to move more and more into this style of offensive pace. Do you think it is something Reid will employ with his brand of the WCO?

I could see it being super effective in KC with the pieces we have in place (sans QB). I also see Geno being the perfect QB to run such an offense because of his ability to whip the ball all over the field. Such an offense would simply terrorize opposing defenses since they couldn't rotate personnel effectively forcing the fat bodies to run gassers while the Chiefs were on the field. As a game would wear on and on, a potent offense would just become more and more powerful.

What say you?
