one of the trap game rules, you can't have a trap game, when you just got trap gamed.
This wasn't a trap game. The Browns D was legit and everyone knew this. I don't think Purdy had a bad game, he had a game in line with what should be expected in a defensive slugfest.
These are the reasons why the Browns game was an outlier and why it will be business as usual this week:
- No defense we face for the rest of the season is even close to what the Browns have. From the line to the secondary, they're great, okay, great. The Niners are great, great, okay.
- The Browns had two weeks to prepare for the Niners. Teams only get that luxury twice per year, three if they get to the Super Bowl.
- This past game was a Deebo/CMC game and both of them got dinged up which cut the playbook in half.
I'm not concerned. I had this penciled in as a loss in the preseason because I didn't expect the team to be able to go on the road after a victory against Dallas and win a 10 AM game. It's just too much. Even then, we were a slightly hooked kick away from still winning that game.
we need a trap game rules thread
it was a trap game
we were coming off a circle this on the calendar game, which is stage 1 of trap game
stage 2 of trap game, is we dominated the prior week, so guys may be a tad overconfident, so now we are at stage 2
stage 3 of trap game, is we are facing a good team, but reason to overlook them, such as they are the Browns, historical losers, and they are down Chubb and their QB1. starting PJ flippin Walker, so now we are deep into stage 3 trap game here, and that's before you get into the weather, which is possibly stage 4
All I know is if you meet me in the trap, it may go down.
I will use this as an excuse to continue on trap games

, MIN is not a trap game, it's MNF
as we look ahead, the next possible trap game is home for Tampa, that's sandwiched between @ Jags and short week @ Seattle
that @ SEA will probably loom large
