From what I've seen Shepherd really turned it around setting the tone in the 2nd quarter with the INT they had but didn't also didn't take advantage of that one big run that they had that resulted in turnover on downs.  We maybe talking about an even closer game or Shepherd maybe winning by 1 if this doesn't happen.  Silsbee will have their work cut out for them against Madisonville if they're not careful.

Shepherd's last TD was against several of Silsbee's 2nd team defense. I think the 9 point win (6 TD's to 4 TD's) was about as close as it was going to be in the end.

The turnover on downs you speak of was Silsbee defense making the necessary plays. Certainly wasn't on Shepherd's offense in that situation. Shepherd did convert five 4th down plays in the game. Tiger defense was on the field a long time since the 2nd Q.

Why can’t they fix the secondary this late in the season playoff time they should be blowing coverages that bad what’s going on?

not really blown coverages, they played 10 in the box with only one DB in the game , to stop the Slot T, worked for the most part, except last scoring run, where I think they were getting tired.

I was more talking about when they had a chance to excute but you're definitely right how that ended up playing out.

We can agree to disagree.  10 games

Every game has examples. Eyes in backfield, safeties drifting to close to line of scrimmage or getting pulled into the Middle exposing the edges.  Fullbacks/Tightends slipping thru the middle of the field uncovered.  

Not judging just pointing out the lack of  discipline/experience.

The other glaring issue is the focus from the players when approaching halftime with lead.  Giving up TDs right before half and then on opening drives in 2nd half erasing big leads.
