[quote name="cooligan" post="865208" timestamp="1286147313"] PNG you are being way to hard on yourselves. NED played a near flawless game last friday. The truth is, words were spoken by some PNG players and NED was fired up big time. That's football. Although your D is like ours and needs work, your O is probably the best balanced machine in 20-4a. You will score 30 plus points everynight. I can't say the same for most in our district. You will win this game and still be in the hunt. PNG 35 - Lumberton 21.  Keep the faith and get back in the game! [/quote] Thanks! We hope so , and will not give up them.

[quote name="hardballer11" post="865242" timestamp="1286151390"] tappedout is on to something here, everybody wants to put blame on the db's but png has been ran all over the past couple of weeks [/quote] I've been saying the same. Our db's are ok , we have a problem with our lb's. Our middle linebackers are historically the strength of our defense, and this year they are struggling a little bit.

I have always said he is responsible for the success Nederland football has had since hes been there.I can think back of the coaches before and the records. A week ago more than half of Nederland was ready to get a piece of rope and hang him from the Market Basket sign. I've read posts about the defense or the spread offense. I'm reading the same ones now about PNG's D here and at PNG site. But, sometimes the coaches can only work with  the personnel they have. These kids are working hard as they can and doing the best they can, sometimes you just line up against someone better across from you.....Congrats Nederland on the win, good game. [/quote]Newman better thank his lucky stars he has Sonnier back ;) ...But it is a big win and I am glad to be a bulldog ...Congrats guys Beat the lions Friday.. [/quote] Very good observation, Nederland is a different team with Sonnier back.

[quote name="heartattack90" post="864814" timestamp="1286106501"] [quote author=dugout6 link=topic=73838.msg863936#msg863936 date=1286037368] From what I saw, neither team could stop Betty White from scoring a touchdown.  Which has been the case for the last 3-4 weeks.  Wether your're a Indian or a Bulldog, I don't think any of you should start thinking about a new set of tires to make any playoff trips. [/quote]Look Smitty's got a new log- in name...WHAT EVER GUY >:( [/quote] Neither team is bad , our district is tougher than usual this year. Nederland beat PNG who had a chance to beat Gregory Portland , a team that will do well in the playoffs. PNG played them a better game than Corpus Christi Calallen did the following week. I'm telling ya'll our district is good this year.

I wouldn't say Ned can't. Livingstons defense is no better than ours. We just traded TD's with them, and they stopped us us once where as we did not stop them once.I say they stopped us, we actually just called the wrong plays (hindsight).  On 2nd and 1 we tried a deep pass then on 3rd and 1 we tried a quick screen and was stopped behind the line. All this when Bertrand was getting 6 to 7 yards a carry.Not questioning Coach Faircloth, because had the deep pass worked and we score then it would have been brilliant. Even though we put up over 500 yds of offense against Nederland i still feel they have a little better defense than Livingston. Livingston has a big powerful line with some great backs I just think Nederland has a chance to stack up front and stop them where as we couldn't.Also, this is a different team tham the one that lost to Vidor(Sonnier is back).....Should be a good game and could go either way, I just wouldn't be surprised if Nederland takes it.

[quote name="pngfan66" post="863774" timestamp="1286024100"] Well if our coaches don't make some serious changes with our D it will be another loss for the NDN's. You just can't keep doing something over and over again and expect better results. The only thing our D has going for it so far is the D line. If our D steps up we might pull out a win, otherwise Lumbertons QB will pick us apart. If D steps up NDN's by 10 if not we loose by 10. [/quote] What changes can we make? I was thinking the same until I looked at what we had and asked myself who do i move to defense. Gizzi played some on defense, who else? We need linebackers more than we need secondary, but when I look on the offense I don't see a prospect for that. Sometimes all a coach can do, is do the best with what he has.

[quote name="jimbob82" post="861323" timestamp="1285817477"] Every year that the Mid-County Schools have a bad year.  The district is weak.  Look back at history, the weak district topic always come up when PNG and NED are having off years.  If they are not in the limelight its a weak district.  On another note, I watched the NED/Vidor game on censored, and NED is not a bad team, seems like they are real close to being dangerous, they made mistakes that cost them the game, but it is all mistakes that can be fixed.  Good luck to all the weak teams in 20-4A. no more injuries [/quote] This is NOT a weak district. PNG played a good game ( and should have won) against Gregory Portland who went on to beat Corpus Christi Calallen the following week and will go to the playoffs and do well. Looking at that and how PNG is getting pushed around in district, I would say our district looks pretty darn strong.

[quote name="football04" post="861447" timestamp="1285856489"] this year will probably come down to tie breakers for 3rd & 4th playoff spots [/quote] Maybe for the 4th spot.

This will be a great one, could go either way but LCM seems to be the real deal.

[quote name="PNG Proud" post="863574" timestamp="1285994185"] Ned's D was the difference no doubt.  They were relentless and well prepared.  Our defensive game plan was non existent, and we made no adjustments.   Can't figure it out actually.  Congrats to the Dogs.   (But I still wouldn't wanna be one) [/quote] I agree, good game and I still wouldn't want to be a bulldog either. They have bad habits, ever watch one laying on the floor or porch???? ;D ;)

[quote name="PNG Proud" post="863582" timestamp="1285994478"] 65-64  Lumberton [/quote] This might be close, if you like offense come on out. You won't be disappointed. :)

[quote name="Jackthehammer" post="861936" timestamp="1285893655"] You are a bunch of idiots jumping on a young kid like that what the heck is wrong with you guys [/quote] Kind of what I was thinking.

[quote name="scooter!" post="861994" timestamp="1285895800"] this game will be won or lost by PNG's suspect secondary IMO. [/quote] Our secondary will be fine, i'm worried about our linebackers. Thats where our issues are.

Lumberton by two touchdowns.

I believe around 1986 or 87 Nederland players ran through our runthrough before the game. Got to admit that was a good one, gutsy at our stadium. I liked it though it was funny a little later.

Even as good as Livingston is on offense they are not very good on defense. I thing Central will match up better defensively against Livingston. I'm saying Central is front runner followed closely by LCM, then Livingston and PNG. Still early though, don't count anyone out.

Best looking bulldog i ever seen. :D

Should be good but i'll take Lumberton in a close one.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="857563" timestamp="1285463452"] Lions had 500+ yards of total offense and scored on EVERY possession.. [/quote] Not every possesion. they fumbled once. We did not stop them on any possesion. I do believe though that some other teams in our district may match up better defensively. Our defense is weak, our offense is as good as i've seen but defense is hurting.

[quote name="tappedout" post="856364" timestamp="1285389614"] PNG has no excuses, Livingston lined up and ran up the middle, around the end, and any other way that you could run the ball. We stacked everyone on the line of scrimmage and was trying to tackle the wrong man all night. These boy's need to learn how to tackle low. They were hitting their back's up high and they were finding way's out of tackle's. We would have them for a loss and they would spring loose. They may need to suit up and start practicing in full pad's and learn how to tackle. The coaches can't make the tackle's for them. They were in the right places, but could not make the play. Honestly, we have been exposed through the air and tonite we were exposed on the ground. We have had very poor play out of our LB's all season. They are undersized and are not very physical. It's like our defense is built to stop the pass but we can't even do that. Other team's in the district may stack up better against Livingston's offense, but our defense was no match for them. Our offense is really good but it look's like we will be in a lot of shootout's. [/quote] I agree with this.........Congrats to Livingston.

[quote name="Lionfan" post="854519" timestamp="1285277163"] The Lions have a little surprise in store for you injuns can't reveal it just yet but by the middle of the third quater injun fans will be saying where did that guy come from? [/quote] Thats ironic.........You just might get to see a little surprise yourself, something not seen yet this year.
