Like a back shoulder play?

That won't happen.... Jake hasn't ran any back shoulders all season.

I would like to see Worley take some shots deep with North, but with Worley's inconsistency on the deep ball, who knows.

Anyone else feel like there are a lot more boring blow outs this year in the NFL?

With the Titans sucking this year (as always), my interest in the league is sinking fast. Once Peyton retires, I doubt I'll give a damn unless someone like Worley somehow makes it and becomes a franchise QB.

The commentators (excluding Gruden) are boring and it's the same crap year in and year out.

College football is so superior, I can't even take the opinions of people who prefer the NFL seriously.

It's like yanks who grill hot dogs and burgers and call it "BBQ".

There is nothing like college football, especially in the SEC. But there is great parity in the NFL, and that is the way they want it. I still enjoy watching it, but I also play in some fantasy leagues. It makes you watch some games you normally wouldn't watch. If not for the Grizzlies, the NBA is a pro sports league that I wouldn't care to watch.

Parity among a select few teams.

Plus, random upsets here and there are meaningless, because you know the crappy team is still a crappy team and won't make the playoffs and the good team is still a good team and will make the playoffs.

I love college football upsets, because they can throw entire seasons with a single game, and likewise give new life to struggling teams.

We actually did run one back shoulder play. We threw it to North in the Oklahoma game, and the throw was just a little too far behind him. However, once in 4 games is not enough.

It is at about 18 seconds in. It at least looks like a back shoulder throw.

At 7:30 in this video, the throw to North is back shoulder as well. It is his 2nd TD against Arkansas St. I don't know that this one was intended to be. I still agree that we should go to it more.

A different franchise has won the last 6 Super Bowls. 9 of the past 12 Super Bowls have been won by different franchises. Traditional powers Dallas and San Francisco haven't won in years, and 6 teams (Seattle, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Baltimore, and St. Louis) have won their first in the last 15 years. Indianapolis was terrible for years until Peyton won his. I don't agree with your statement about parity. The league is setup for franchises to move up and down on a yearly basis, and even their scheduling formula supports this. I find it to be entertaining, but that is JMO.

Someone forgot to tell the Vikings that Patterson is good, and should probably get to touch the ball a little bit.

It's crazy that they don't use him more. I would throw him multiple slip screens a game just to get him the ball in space and see what happens. Definitely being misused.

I hear ya. The more I think about it, you're right on the parity issue. I'm just biased because I'm a Titans fan and it seems like they perpetually suck.

With Adrian Peterson suspended from the team, the Vikings have essentially no real running threat. Nobody in the NFL is scared of Minnesota's rushing attack. Couple that in with the fact that Christian Ponder is quite possibly the worst starting QB in the NFL, and you have the formula for why such a talented, young WR (Patterson) is basically being wasted.

Of course the Vikings could try to get him touches on gimmick/trick type plays, but those aren't going to work anymore. NFL defenses know what's going on now and are targeting and bracketing him. Line him up in the backfield at RB and it's obvious where the ball is going. Unfortunate because CP is an unbelievable talent and a VFL, but it is what it is right now.

Worley hasn't had a whole lot of time to throw the football these last two games.
