Escaped the trap game

[john van brocklin]

Yup.

Hope you're feeling better buddy!

I figured this was going to happen, but a win is a win and will be remembered as such.

What does this game tell us about the future?

Nothing. One game they can be world beaters and the next they look like anyone can beat them.
Nothing has changed.
Hoping for maximum focus moving forward.

Yeah you're right. It was 100% trap. They came out flat and the game plan by KM was terrrrrrible. The important thing is they answered when they had to. I'll happily take this win. It is no barometer of the future, but we obviously need to tighten it up.

It was a team character check.
Did we pass?

Getting there big guy.

...same type of win Philly got over Colts couple weeks ago. They happen, when least expected.

BUT WE SEALED THE DEAL. Thats what good teams do. Find a way to win.

Definitely should have lost that game. This team, for all the stars and great players, always plays down to their opponents level.
It didn't catch them today but it usually does somewhere at an important time where we can't afford that to happen.

I agree. I think some don't understand what "trap game" means.

The Jags, that will be a potential trap game. Same for them with the Bears.

Lol, I guess? We can only hope they learn from it. Man, they even looked flat on the sidelines. We were fortunate to come away with a win. Still irritates me, especially that we were playing the worst run defense in like 5 decades yet we got our qb out there flailing about instead of giving it to EITHER freaking rb who was averaging 7 ypc at that point.

I'm happy for the win regardless. Life would've been miserable with all the Texan fans I know. Better tighten up next week.

The Jags kind of put it on Tennessee. There's no good reason to take them lightly.

You my boy Blu.

I think the Texans had our playbook this week. They were ready.

The Jags are hot and cold. Dr. Hyde needs to tweak his Jekyll formula.

Other than they are a 5 win team, and we have the biggest game of the season the following week.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

As many as they happen.
It's up to the teams and how they approach it.

Like I said in the post you replied to:
This team can look like world beaters one game and vulnerable the next.

It's all in their focus.

So yeah, there can be tons of trap games if they let them be so.

We as a society have a very bad habit of changing definitions to suit our agenda bias.

A trap game is supposed to be that one game that trips up your season. If you get more than 1....or 2 maybe.....it just means your team sucks, no consistency or confidence.

Every game....is a trap game? For teams that suck.

Whatever you say hoss.
I'm not up for a philosophical debate upon this subject right now.
Consider yourself a winner.

You answered well grasshopper!
Hope they can figure out their issues quickly.

Both figuratively and literally.
Proud to call you a Cowboys friend.

Fair, but 3-2 in the last 5 with wins against the Titans and Ravens.

I HOPE we are more dialed in, but yeah 5-8 isn't going to get anyone hyped.

Not winning. Just saying the truth of things.

If you want every game trap....fine. I just happen to disagree no need to be dismissive or short.
