We are the perfect trap game for New England

No such thing as a trap game in the NFL. Every team has enough talent to win any given Sunday, and every team knows that.

Fans don't-they think there team has so much talent than others-I'm guilty, I think the Falcons are going to smoke the Bills this Sunday. Bills have a good defense, Falcons can lose the game, don't expect that, but it certainly could happen.

Panthers can win in Foxboro, won't be because Belichick & Co took them lightly.

I would argue the Car-Saints game last week was a trap game for the Panthers. 

Saints with a historically bad defense. Panthers with great pieces in place in offense.  Panthers needed a statement game after two horrible offensive showings. 

We caught a pissed off 0-2 Saints team that NEEDED to win. = Trap Game.

Same thing could happen this week.

The thing that will honestly upset me the most when I check the scores on Monday morning is that this doesn't even appear to be a particularly GOOD Patriots team! We probably SHOULD beat them.

If you need a statement win going into a game it can't possibly be a trap game. A trap game is one where you underestimate your opponent and/or are looking forward to another game. Happens in college because the competition levels are so uneven.

Trap games don't happen in the NFL because the competition level is so much closer. And there's just no way in hell that an NFL team takes a division game lightly-they're way too important. Saints won because Brees is a HOF QB and Cam isn't healthy.

Our offense is seriously pathetic.

Just can't see that straightening out this week.

Not a chance unless this offense finds something that has been sorely lacking this season. 

Both of y'all poo on this team more than opposing fans. 

Would y'all like more cheese with the wine?

I don't if they'd like more cheese but I know someone who wants more...TEs.

Definitely  will help the Swiss cheese  OTs

B x B rarely ever get caught in "trap" games... they barely beat an average Texans team and you better believe Bill will be on their arses this week.

Panthers matchup better and will win with dominant performance

I have been a fan of this team since its inception and have had season tickets for over a decade.  However, this team (especially Cam and the offense) is playing like hot garbage so far this season....and that is a fact.  If you are too dumb or blind to be able to see and accept that....that is all on you.

bill belichick is the last coach in the league who would let his team be susceptible to this

on paper yeah the patriots have an exploitable defense from a personnel perspective.  but so did the saints, and we've kind of only scored one touchdown in the last 9 quarters.

[Nate Dogg]

tbh I'll be surprised if Cam can make it through all 4 quarters. You best believe BB will be exploiting our tackles all day long. If KB and Kalil are both inactive I'll be surprised if we even get in the red zone.

Our players are focused on meeting with Richardson  to complain about not being allowed to join their friends in protesting Trump. They're not going to be ready for NE.

I got us dominating New England . They are not a divison rival, they have a worse defense then the saints so we can run the ball , they are coming off a game they barely beat the Texans , we are hungry after this loss our players will be motivated , we always play the patriots  tough . We are like the Chiefs on defense and we will get Brady and hit him all night this should be a win for us and I'm not saying just a win, I got us beating them bad . We are focused we found out our mistakes our coaching staff will fix those mistakes and we will pull the biggest upset the nfl has ever seen keep doubting us haters ! We coming for the ring this year we will get the Super Bowl ring ! We are the best team in the nfl if we all on the same page let's get it and let's go !!! - Farach 

I am expecting such dominance in New England. The Panthers have matched up well against them historically, Rivera and his staff know the reputation of NE coaches and will want to outcoach them. The players will be solid since they want to beat the champs and show ATL how it's done!
