Correct might as well with the injury

Well said.

Nederland can not kick to Huntsville deep or he will house it… he was very close several times against Montgomery…. If Nederland can force Huntsville to pass Nederland chances are greatly improve to win I will leave it at that… Nederland has to have long touchdown drives that eat up clock…. No bonehead penalities.. Huntsville tends to have a lot of unsportsmanlike penalites they did last year and trend continues this year as well… take advantage of those

I appreciate your input. I really do, but you put everything on Nederland to be perfect. How about Huntsville? They better play perfect also. Just because Huntsville has a better record does not mean Nederland has to step up their game. Had Nederland beat PNG, your assessment would change drastically. One play here, one play there does not put all the pressure on Nederland. Huntsville should come into this game with their head in a cloud. That’s what I want. Someone who thinks they have it in the bag.

No disagreement with any of that, but I think Huntsville is bigger than Nederland. Huntsville’s o-line matches up well with Ned’s d-line

As far as some threads go off on a tangent, mentioning a shooting in a murder forum seems trivial at best. 😎

Certainly there are some ridiculous games in the first round. In some districts the 4th place team might be almost as good as the first place team or certain competitive. In others, usually because of a limited number of teams, the 4th place team is an embarrassment as far as any real shot at moving on. Should the playoff rules reflect the majority of situations or the anomaly? Let’s take the 3 team suggestion. I assume that the first place team gets a bye and the second and third place team play each other in bi-district. That however doesn’t reduce the number of weeks of the playoffs. It is the exact same weeks to the championship but with number one team getting the bye week. There is certainly some merit to that but it doesn’t shorten the playoffs. In the current situation, with number one playing number four, if the fourth place team is unworthy of the playoffs, they will quickly be dispatched as we found out last night. So instead of a bye and sitting at home, the number one team gets a patsy and they get to play it at home. That after all, is all we are talking about. So between a 3 or 4 team playoff system, at week 2 of the playoffs, the exact same number of teams will be left. In effect, nothing changes as far as the number of weeks until the championship game. For 2/3 of the teams, it will be the same number of games regardless. It seems like a tempest in a teacup. LET’S KEEP THAT FOURTH PLACE TEAM OUT!! So the only real significant change in the playoffs would be to reduce the number of playoff teams to two and be done with it. If the goal is a reward for being number one, it makes sense to change the current system. Merely eliminating a fourth place team for the sake of eliminating the fourth place team however, changes almost nothing except for a bye week perk for the number one team.

Is this thread just for murders? I posted it anyway.

Looking forward to it. You never what happens on a Friday night. Depends if you bring the “A” game or the “C” game. Both teams.

The 0-57 team. But they got playoff shirts.

The deaths are always tragic for the family.

I was reading that earlier. That was a funny deal.

Per the usual 1st round.

Participation in playing the game is very different than qualifying for a playoff system.

I was told the game will be on the Tube........

Wanna limit the number of sorry teams qualifying for the playoffs? Introduced relegation which will kill football programs during re-alignment. We all know there are hundreds of programs scattered in each region that shouldn't be playing football but no one is ready to have that conversation...... Side note: I'm surprised diesel prices haven't cancelled a season or 2......

I think the amount of money the UIL makes off a bi-district football game is vastly overrated especially with attendance at games VASTLY dropping...a lot of schools lose money on playoff games now because there's not enough gate to even cover stadium rental....4 teams in the playoffs was about evening the size of the brackets out so eventually the UIL could move to the single site state championship model... Coaches also dont want the bye week in the playoffs for the most part...

Keep an eye on 2AD1-12 #4 seed Joaquin

Yes and now that i think about it more. Might have been closer to 50+ game losing streak

I will say this. Nederland needs to start this game with aggression. Not a wait and see game. Play Dog football and attack, attack, attack, Against PN-G they let opportunities go and should have went for the throat. Nederland sometime goes into safe mode. That to me cost them the PN-G game. A good example was right before the half they just let the last 1.5 or so minutes run out instead of going for the score. Almost like they were happy with going into the half with the lead.. PNG has been absolutely brutal in 1 score games under Joseph. nederland had a chance to get away from that but played it safe. Tonight needs to be an all out aggressive game from start to finish. Nederland can pull an upset here but realistically they have to play 4 full quarters use that size to wear down huntsville. Also Montgomery got Huntsville throwing the ball. So Nederland needs to have some good pass plays if the running game is not cooking. Then the defense needs to play down hill all game. nederland has what it takes but it needs to be all there. Gotta have a complete game in all phases.

Because it has happened multiple times doesn't really validate anything. That's like saying making 10 out of 100 free throws validates one a good free throw shooter just because the shooter provided proof of making a free throw. To me it's about the overall numbers and not the outliers when it comes to a valid playoff system. Percentages say 2-3 team playoffs make for less blow outs and much more competitive games overall.

Paid for the food too. I remember seeing that on Facebook.
