Nederland 24, PN-G 21

[IndianFan]

Time to start a new streak. A new 8-0 would more than make up for tonight.

 

[Justafan]

Poor non creative play calling and the inability to prevent big plays on defense cost us this game. We’ve got to make some changes on defense and we’ve got to find a more balanced offense than depending on running every play and only one dependable receiver.

As they should. We really wasn’t the #1 team in the state.

I like your optimism.

It would not be the first time we lost a big rivalry game and stormed back to run the table to the SC game (think 1999). But still lots of work to do, especially regarding the passing game, which has to be much more consistent for a long playoff run.

Ned played a great game. We executed poorly time and time again. We were wildly predictable the ENTIRE game. I get that you want to maintain possession and keep Thomas on the sideline, but you still need to have a bit of creativity. I found myself wondering if that was a Matt Burnett offense out there on the field. Further, we couldn’t set the edge on defense in the 2nd half and that hurt us on 2nd and 3rd and long way too many times. Oh well. It is what it is. But I will say, when I was in school, there would have been no storming of the field after a win like that because it would have led to an all out brawl—especially the visiting team fans storming the field. Lost some respect from me right there.

It would be nice. Truth is there are much, much better teams than Nederland out there waiting. First task is to figure out why this happened because it shoudn't have. It was an internal breakdown as much as anything else. In that regard it's good to get this loss out of the way. If they can figure that out they have a fighting chance going forward to make a good playoff run.

In 1999, PN-G beat Nederland 31-8.

Lake Creek beat Huntsville tonight 29-24. Lake Creek rose from the dead. Looks like Nederland's dreams are almost coming true.

PNG was not prepared it reminded me of the Bama game.

Nederland might end up with district crown.

That year the big rivalry game was WOS.

 

[Bigdog]

Good game, the games definitely not over till the clock hits 0:00. Huntsville lost tonight as well.

That's what the internal breakdown remark was about. We saw flashes of what this team can be but went right back to the predictable plays and failed to execute them.

 

[kingcrablegs]

I think this game might have been for district imo.

Still some football to play. Huntsville and Montgomery may have a say.

Don't forget the two missed field goals.

Indeed, missed field goals was the difference
