[edit] Invented?
I wonder why so many people say the Bills "invented" the no-huddle / hurry-up offense if the Benglals were the first to start using it. It's hard to imagine the NFL without it. The last few minutes of every game wouldn't be the same without it!
[edit] No huddle vs. hurry up
Are these the same terms? the article notes that most passing plays are out plays, and there are few rushing plays; this may be accurate re: hurry-up, and 2-minute drill, where the clock is important, but is there not (at least currently) no-huddle offence that has nothing to do with saving the clock, for which these comments are not accurate?
This article is confusing. The header indicates that hurry-up offense, no-huddle offense or two-minute drill are synonymous, and then, 3 sections into the article, there's a section called "No-huddle offense"... isn't that the topic of the whole article? I think this article need some restructuring from someone with enough football knowledge. TheHYPO 00:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is the first sentence wrong?
I'm not an American football fan, so don't trust myself to edit, but the first sentence seems slightly muddled. It makes more sense (to me) if "categories" is changed to "categorised", but even then you have 'as the "two-minute drill" and even a "no-huddle offense".' That "even" looks wrong when there are only two examples given - it's like saying "World Wars are usually categorised as WW1 and even WW2"! 86.132.137.5 (talk) 14:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
