Movies and TV The Browns: Trap Game - Page 4

Direckshun · 09-15-2010, 12:23 AM

Anybody else getting a bad feeling about this Browns game?

We have ourselves a short week, after an incredibly emotional loss. The Browns are not a talented team, but I feel like the youth on this team makes us susceptible to a let down.

Anybody here follow the Browns closely? What are we getting into this week, besides a madhouse that should rival Arrowhead last week?

But I fully expect them to be 2-2 after that.

If any game is a trap game. It's the San Fran game. They looked horrible last week against the Seahawks of all teams. They just aren't that bad, and we all know it.

Why do "we all know it"? I'm really not sold on SF like many have been. I think they are a middle of the pack kinda team. I think being back at Arrowhead the fans will be back in crazy mode especially if we win in Cleveland. I think it's a push game.

If it's a trap game for either team, it's the Browns, just because they're at home and you should like your chances at home against similar teams.

Browns favored by two. Chiefs getting two points. Which, to me, means the teams here are basically equal and the spread is for home field.

we aren't good enough to find ourselves in any trap games AND the Browns are favored to win...

It means that Vegas expects us to lose by 2.

What's the difference between some of the 2009 Chiefs blowout losses and this upcoming game? Why is this one a trap game? Because the Browns suck? That shouldn't have anything to do with it. We played like shit against the Broncos in game 1 and in both Charger games. I'll bet you the Browns could have beaten us in both of those games last year. Because our team had no concentration and played like shit.

If we lose to the Browns this week, I refuse to say, "Uhp! Trap game!" Trap games don't exist. Or rather, they do exist... they ARE sports.

Or something like that

Trap games are much more likely to happen (a.) after short weeks, and (b.) after fiery, emotional games. The Chiefs cannot maintain that energy for 16 weeks.

It's almost a push, though. Generally a home team gets 3 points just for being at home.

I think we win this game. If we're really turning this thing around, we have to win this game. Cleveland's defense isn't San Diego's defense, and I think that made us look far worse on offense than we really are.

If we lose, however, we can pretty much count on not beating anybody else on the road either, because it won't get any easier than the Browns.

Basically, at this stage of the game, if they lose, it's because they're not very good, not because they were trapped in any way.

Fair point.

Crap* Game

Can it really be considered a "trap game" when the teams are on par? Typically the term applies to the "let down" of a superior team to a lesser opponent.

Coach · 09-15-2010, 10:09 AM

I know Wallace is not a very strong passer, but there is one thing that he does have a clear advantage over Delhomme, and that is his legs. What I mean by that is that he has more speed to run, escape the pocket and run upfield.

That's another dimension that the Chiefs will have to prepare for. If it was Delhomme there, then I wouldn't stress too much over it. Personally, I'd rather face Delhomme instead of Wallace, becuase of that, IMHO.

I honestly think we can play better than we did against SD. We missed a few huge opportunities to score in that game.
