It's the next week, against Cinci, that I think could potentially be a let down or trap kinda game. At least emotionally.The Browns game is the type of game that would potentially be a trap game, but I think the Patriots will be focused given that that is Brady’s first game back.
First home game with Brady? Uh, no.No doubt they should be pumped for Brady's return. It's the next week, against Cinci, that I think could potentially be a let down or trap kinda game. At least emotionally.
The Cards are a much better and tougher team to play in AZ. Pas shouldn't take Buffalo lightly but I think they'll be driven to finish this 4 game stretch without Brady strongly.Buffalo just beat the Cardinals a lot more emphatically than the Patriots did. I can't imagine why the Patriots would underestimate them.
Good point.First home game with Brady? Uh, no.

Apples to oranges. On the road versus at home. Week one versus week 3. Starting QB vs backup QB. Healthy offense vs patchwork offense.
So yeah, I don't put much stock into Buffalos win. BB will force TT to throw. AZ didn't do that.
marshall faulk called it this AM that the amount of man to man AZ plays will allow buffalo and TT to run. And thats what happened. funny that they played zone vs us a lot.Apples to oranges.

"The Bills are going to lose to AZ this weekend, that's a given" unfortunately OP, nothing is a "given" in this league until you go out there and actually do it.
Its the NFL. Anyone can win or be beat. there is no such thing as a trap game in pro sports
buffalo coming off 10 days rest, Southwest team flying to the northeast and Carson Palmer being Carson Palmer.
Also Arians looked like a complete buffoon not challenging a clear in-completion that really kind of got buffalo going.
If they think that having Brady back will cure missing tackles and holding on offense, the Cleveland game will be another debacle. Even if they're up for it they have to execute. I'm not sure we can take that as a given. We're still finding out about this team, and what we found out today wasn't pretty. No guarantees what we'll find out next week. It would really be a kick in the teeth to have Brady come back and lose to the Browns in their first win of the season wouldn't it? I want to be wrong about that, but taking it for granted seems very likely to look like today even with #12 in the lineup.A game that would normally have the hallmarks of a trap game would be the road game against a terrible Cleveland team. But something tells me they'll be up for that game.
Lol....with the way we played yesterday, that essentially assured our assses getting handed to us smhBUF winning this game against AZ essentially assures a Pats victory next week.....we've seen this movie before..
if it looks like a trap game, smells like a trap game, it's a trap game.
this one was.
too easy for the entire team to feel too good about themselves after the Houston game, so they got a massive heaping of humble pie.
