No we didn't. 😁🙃

We didn't have total control til 2nd half. Great road dub nonetheless, I'm good 😎

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Wish we had something somewhat local where we could find legit/accurate stats.

First off good game panthers! Next year, yall gonna bring all the smoke. I just saw yall get gassed in the second half and the ability of not being able to run. Assuming PAM d-line had a lot to with that.

GREAT JOB DEFENSE!!!!!! You held the team together!!!!

Offense: THIS WAS POOR PLAY CALLING AND PERSONNEL CHANGES IN 3-2YEARS!!!! STOP WITH THE WHO YO DADDY AND FAMILY IS FAVORITISM BALL!!!  You want Kam in the game that bad??? Start him at RB! Speaking of RB, stop screwing Gray! That kid earned his time and deserve to be fed the ball more. Nearly avg 5 plus yards a tote and u pull him after 1-2 plays to put the track star in that gets swarmed immediately?  QB did a good job. the pick was more the wr not having strong hands and got it snatched from him. 
 

special teams: not about to blame woods for those fumbles by himself!! That’s from having a kid with big play capability and you not feeding him the ball and now he’s trying too hard to make a play. I’ve watched coaches scheme plays for certain slot wr’s and special players in the past, why not him. Kid probably regrets coming back to PA. 
 

the offense atleast the qb and wr’s really need to work after practice. Thank goodness we have a strong Defense and they couldn’t run themselves out of a wet paper bag cause it was gonna be a long night!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

The 2 QB experiment should be done after last night. #1 isn't a QB right now, have to put him on the field in another position rather slot or RB, he's too fast to not have him on the field. 

The only matchup they have left to see if that would work is next week versus Ball High cause the next 3 games after that (before bye-week) I doubt you want to be experimenting with anything.

I still haven't heard who the OC or playcallers are as of this morning. Either ppl don't know or they're not saying it.

IMO, certain teams/games isn’t the time to experiment. It’s like it was no offense game plan. Jump over ball and if it’s 35-0 at half, then yiu can make weird calls and personnel changes 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Any word on if yalls OC mended fences with 1 of yalls commentators after the game? @PackAttack 

I knew something was going to get said on that hot-mic 😁 

 

And who called that weird play inside yall 5yd line that ended up in a Titans int? That changed the game early.

I used to be on the email list for the local districts statistician (Maurey Salinger) but he no longer does it. Not sure who handles the districts now. Maurey always included me with the local districts. Maurey did about 8 local districts stats.

I’ve said it to my bro many times in the last few years… Morgan and Co lack a great playbook on offense.  They are too vanilla.  Last night..they could barely pull off what they are used to doing.  They need to mix it up more. Not sure what the exact answer is, but it’s just too simple of an offense to create any issues for good coaches deep in the playoffs.  Not much brainwork honestly…to stop it.  It’s easy to dominate district play because of their size and speed.  But, once deep in the playoffs…everyone is just about match up evenly.  It comes down to coaching…play calling.  I have high hopes in that they will make a deep playoff run.  But, unless something changes on offense..it’ll be very difficult to win state.  I hope they figure it out.  Another year with a team that looks to be on the path to being great…need to capitalize on the talent.

That and know your players! I saw graham at the parade in his jersey but didn’t see him last night.the biggest problem is this qb shuffle and NOBODY is fooled by it

No word on the sideline thing that happen. I was in the stands, I wasn't listen to the broadcast and did not not hear it on the game replay. I guess Jam Media edited it out. LOL Personally, I care not for any halftime interview in any game or even more so the ones they do during a game irritate me.  Before and after is plenty, the media takes too much time away from coaches anyway, from the time spent with players where it really counts the most IMO. 

The Lufkin OC tries to catch folks off guard sometime and call unusual sets. I don't know him well, just a young OC with a lot of ideas. That one on the goal line was not one of them, and yes the momentum builder that was not. LOL  Just think he was respecting the speed of the PAM D and tried something to counter that speed and PAM didn't buy it.  It was a good play call, but better D.  Panther O has to start finishing drives to keep the D from wearing themselves down with all those extra snap.
