Somebody has to mention it, is N.O. a trap game?

[GimmeTheBall!]

It's a clíché, but tradition here mandates we discuss the "trap game" every time our Boys play an inferior team.
How about it, handsome but strange men?
So, let us all get mussed up and fussy about the mighty saints!

Holla and brings me a dollah!

Beware Kamara.
N.O. allowed Carolina only 10 pts.
Carr passed for 200 yards (average chap)

No

Trap? I remind you my good sir this is a family friendly forum.

I imagine Saints fans are asking themselves the same question about the Cowboys.

It's way too early in the season to refer to any team as "inferior", especially when they won their first game 47 to 10.

The good and bad teams of the NFL do not really start to define themselves until week 4 or 5 when all teams have played multiple teams where you can better rate the qualities of each teams' wins and losses.

For example, if the Browns go 0-17, then that win by the Cowboys means very little. If the Browns end up winning their division then that game means a lot. The same is true for the Panthers and the Saints game.

All that matters is that every win early in the season (ugly or not does not matter) can help lessen the impact of losses later in the season.

Too early in the year for traps.

Everyone is still bringing it this time of year.

If we lose we lose but it’s not a trap game.

I like this game because they will show us a lot of looks that the 9ers will use.

There's no such thing as a trap game.

They were 4-5 on the road last year, and you know what we are at Home. If what we saw last week is who we are, then the game will not be a close one. The Aints beat up on a Panthers team many thought would be better this year, but clearly are not yet there. Again, if we lay a dud I would be terribly pissed off, but part of me wouldn't be surprised lol. Just not seeing it from what I saw last week though

 

[Tabascocat]

In week two? Absolutely not!

NO is a good team w/ a good QB. They were 9-8 last year, a very competent team. Not a trap game, just a game that is going to be tough and we could lose.

You always take their side!!

Trap games mostly apply to good teams. Teams that make noise in the playoffs.
Not applicable here.

What in blue blazes gives this the slightest indication of being a “trap” game? They could steamroll us.

Interesting.
I fail to see any pathway for the Aints to steamroll us.None.

Also, you have been reported for writing "Blue Blazes."

It's Week 2.

There are no trap games in Week 2.

If we lose this one a sub .500 record is guaranteed
Trap or not.
However we had weeks to install plays and defend the Browns they had no tape on our defense.
This is a Inferior unit to the Browns so winning is all about us.

 

[KJJ]

How could this be a trap game when New Orleans is 1-0 and is coming off a 37 point win? If the Cowboys aren’t motivated to play a week two game in their home opener, they’re hopeless.

No way is a sub 500 record guaranteed if we lose tomorrow. You’re going way overboard.
