Also, I think you may be reading the term trap game wrong. It's not an excuse when I use the term. Its more of the team underestimating the opponent causing a lack of hard work. People get complacent all the time. NFL players and coaches arent immune to that.

I know what it is and what it means. I will repeat myself just to be sure: professional athletes and coaches are not being "trapped" into losing focus during preparation or failing to execute during the actual competition, predicting that a game is a "trap" game before it is played is like predicting we will never win a playoff game, and calling a game a "trap game" after the fact is simply making an excuse.

It is fine if you like the term and think it is meaningful. I disagree completely, though.
