GAME DAY: PN-G Indians (1-1) vs. Crawford Chargers (2-0)

[Jerrylisa1977]

Way too many mistakes. Offense sputtered in the second half. No holes for Henry to run through. Offensive line couldn’t open the holes. So let’s learn from this game and be ready for district next week. We have a good team and great coaches. Let’s back all of them. Go Indians.

Sorry but very poor play calling

Granted. Puzzling. Perhaps we didn't want to display the entire offensive plan and save it for the playoffs?

Wow what a game

This is for sure.

I watched spring practice, 2 a days, and what I am seeing is a portion of what I saw then. There is a bit more stuff that they have not used once since i watched then in practice, Ill save the details, but thee is more.

 

[19PNGndn68]

Bad snap ruins FG attempt.

Need a dedicated long snapper. Practice Practice Practice.

 

[19PNGndn68]

4 penalties on 2pt attempt between the teams

In critical situation on the one yard don’t sub out your regular blocking HB/TE.

 

[19PNGndn68]

ashworth isn’t very accurate. and the constant go routes on first down are stupid. offensive coach thinks he has a colt
mccoy back there with accuracy arm but
he has more tyrone swoopes in him

Threw where only the PNG receiver could catch

He isn’t a very good passer

Threw the ball where only the Receiver could catch the ball otherwise an interception in the end zone. The refs were allowing the DBs to hang onto receivers all night. If you have a complaint take up with the poor officiating. Watch all the drops on NDN Press.

In 2022 PNG got punished by FBM in district play. PAM hanged 50. I, me, not you, myself thought JJ was a bust hire.

These coaches know what to do

Crawford will not beat the NDNs again in 2026.

Where's a good place to eat in Brenham?

Too many mental errors by OL at the wrong times.

I expected QB to sacked on the last two drives. OL pass protection held up.

 

[19PNGndn68]

How many PNG interceptions in the game and counted at least three drops for interceptions. Another 4th and one defensive stop at mid field.

We’re officially just a Faircloth offense now. Every game is a “who can make big plays” contest and we have no ability to take control of the game. Crawford’s main path to victory was us trying to match them for star power and we gave it to them. We had the ball in their red zone at least three times, maybe four, and came away with no points. We pass nearly every play, the most predictable, vanilla offense we’ve had in years. I can’t tell if this is because the o-line isn’t good or because this is what the OC wants us to be. And we’re calling pass plays that Randy Moss couldn’t get open for. It’s the most bored I’ve been watching png in years, just watching incomplete passes with us being saved by improbable catches and penalties. I’m not saying it can’t get better, but I’m not sure where it can. I trust that it will. We’re not a bad team, but we’re not a good team yet.

What game did some of you watch? Driving back to Houston tonight I wondered what was being said here on the message board. Take a step back. It was a great game. FBC is as advertised. Big, athletic, and aggressive on both sides of the ball. They have playmakers all over the field. They are not a one man team with #3. The catch by #3 for the TD at the goal line, in traffic, was an outstanding throw and catch. Our kids played hard and had a shot to win, but it didn't happen. The OC called a good game. Ashworth stood tough in the pocket and made a bunch of great throws. On some of the throws he missed, he was pressured and took a lot hits. It's not like he's standing there smelling the roses and making bad throws. He's under pressure and the defenders are trying to knock his ass out. He played well in both the passing game and run game. Tyson Henry ran hard and got some tough nasty yards. The OL did the best they could do. FBC was bigger across the board and blitzing 80% of the time. If FBC brings six or seven, its hard for our five OL to block them all. The defense played their asses off. Great job containing #3--as best as he can be contained--and good job competing. Secondary made big INTs. FBC is not rolling out average talent, they have playmakers. Heal up, watch the film, correct the mistakes, and get ready for a really good Brenham team. I'll be there next week in Blue Bell country. GO INDIANS!!!

Didn’t see your comments when the half time score was 17-7. No Bad snap on a FG try and the score is 27 to 28 and a last second FG wins the game. QB was not called for illegal motion at the one yard. OL did not give up a sack on the last two drives when everyone on Crawford side knew what was coming. Chill out and enjoy the ride.

 

[NDNmom91]

Well, all I can say is that other Ft Bend team learned, it’s real hard to beat PNG twice in the same season, just saying! Crawford is as advertised…props to them, but yet again…we beat ourselves with all the self inflicted mistakes and mental errors! The ATROCIOUS officiating certainly didn’t help…ugh! Idk what was up with the play calling but hopefully some of that was just not wanting to put too much on film, because we very likely will see them again!

Yeah that’s the kind of stuff we said after games when Faircloth was here

Last sentence. Agree 100%

Cool off that team has some MOJO

Well said. In an earlier season tweet said a few “chicken littles the sky is falling” would surface while the OL and DL/MLBs were rebuilt. Our QB finished his 6th game behind a rebuilt OL not 30+ games behind College D1 Tackles.
Seven WRs are starting only their first or second seasons at the position. Very Very happy with the development of the defense. What a PNG secondary. I vote for #4 as District Defensive MVP right now.

 

[19PNGndn68]

Yeah that’s the kind of stuff we said after games when Faircloth was here

53-7 record in four year’s with a state championship, a state championship appearance, four regional wins, four regional finals appearances, three district championships. 17 playoff wins in four years.
Can you imagine Roschon playing for HC Joseph.

 

[Usedtocould]

We were a missed FG from kicking the winner as time elapsed we’re still fine
