That was actually a dig at some fans who always talk up whoever we're playing. It happens every week, whether it's Oakland, KC or Seattle. We could be playing the 2008 Lions and someone would say "trap game".
As far as what you're saying, I can see that to an extent, but I think the best teams just beat whoever is on their schedule. The Bengals have been doing that for a long time - in the regular season.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
