A "Trap Game" is a game that is played before or after a tough or rival opponent. Teams have a tendency to look past an opponent preparing for the following week's game, or have a letdown after beating a tough or rival opponent.

 

No, they don't.

 

Look it up, Thurman.

Howard Simon is the worst interviewer I've possibly ever heard. It's amazing he doesn't get his ass kicked more. It's one thing to be confrontational for the betterment of the interview, it's another thing to be confrontational to make yourself feel bigger than your guest.

he came across as a fake tough guy trying to puff out his chest. Sal was probably embarrassed to be involved. Bringing up some reasons why Marrone's job could come into question is perfectly fine, after Brandon said he didn't know why it was even a question. The way it was presented you would have thought Simon was in third grade.

I happened to catch yesterday's debate between Sal and Howard regarding culture and what it means. Howard kept insisting it's all about talent, not culture. It was absolutely obvious that Howard has no understanding of the concept of culture. Simply put, all the talent in the world doesn't do a bit of good if it doesn't exist in a culture that can cultivate that talent. Simple concept for most people.

 

GO BILLS!!!

C.J. Spiller was a limited participant. Is officially on 53-man roster.

Bills have to travel across the country after a huge home win, that in itself is difficult regardless of the opponent but the Raiders have actually been playing tough at home and I think won last two there. Add in the fact that the Bills travel to the Pats the following week and this has all the makings of a scarey trap game for the Bills.

 

But they're going the other way across the country. It's going to feel like normal game time to them. When west coast teams come east the game feels like it takes place at like 9am. The travel should not hurt the Bills at all.
