Specific mention of the Pats running the spread:

This is from NFL.Com an is a preview of the Colts vs Pats in 2007, and it says specifically, that the Pats have gone to a spread offense.

Now, see, the point is that spread option is not the only spread offense. The Chiefs did use the spread option at times last year, but that isn't the only reason they were a spread offense.
Now, hopefully, we can get the 'giggling' out of the way and have a serious football discussion based on FACTS. |
I looked at the first two links, which both, in so many words, stated that if you go 3-4 wide with shotgun, you are running the spread.
Oddly, though, they both mentioned no-huddle and quick pace (one part that's true).
I think they are both weak, and both incorrect.
I couldn't get to the 3rd link at work.
