There was once a time when a team copied the power-sweep Packers running game or the 1970's high-flying Steeler and Cowboy offense or the 1980's West Coast 49er offense installed by Bill Walsh.  Or the current spread offenses in the NFL that we see today.  Now, this coming season, we will see a different copycat mode back in the NFL, this time for the pistol or the read option made somewhat famous last year by the NFC Champion 49ers and rising Seahawks.

We have finally reached the final week of the 2012-13 NFL Season, as we continue our countdown to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
