Also, Nederland is due for a letdown.  Better before the playoffs.  Really, nothing to play for.  Just  to think about it, didn't those guys have a near letdown against that same LC-M Bear team already in district?  And on top of that, Central sees the light at the end of a very dark tunnel thus far.  Beat this team and then, cha-ching.  Your playoff ticket is punched.

Since we are talking about letdowns and pointing out flaws about Nederland, let's look at what the Jags are going to face. Critique all you want and pick apart any of our WINS you want. A WIN is a WIN and Nederland has won their last SIXTEEN district games! Central has 3 losses in district and by the way the Dogs beat those teams by a combined 78-20! Central has been Jeckyl and Hyde all season long and if you are depending on us being "due for a letdown" to win this game, then good luck with that. Back to back undefeated district championships and a HOME game to boot? Nederland also has Back to back shutouts the last two games and out scored thd opponents 83-0. Can the Jags win? Sure they can. But, give me the consistent team with the consistent results week in and week out vs. a Jeckyll and Hyde team any day of the week. No team is ever as good or as bad as their last game either. Things normally revert back to the mean. Nederland wins against an inspired Jags team in this one 31-20.
[/quote]Great post.

I do agree with ya Soulja that if Central wins this game and makes the playoffs that they would definitely be peaking at the right time and could make some playoff noise! Looking forward to a great game!

We need to throw the quick pass early and often.  The Nederland front 4 is intimidating, but they can't do anything if the ball is already gone...
[/quote]

That was PNG's plan of attack against Nederland. It did keep the D Line off the QB, but it also produced many 3 and outs...

Delusions of grandeur...
Name the last time a black and gold team from 20-4A beat the Broncos?
Not going to happen this year neither.

A Central victory tonight (as predicted by Toups Graphics) clears the way for the Pirates to be in division II.  Pirates have a chance to make it to quarterfinals there.
[/quote]

I'm pretty sure the last time the Broncos lost to a black and gold team from 20-4A was the last time they faced Nederland in a playoff game if memory serves correct. Not talking trash, just answering your question. I am sure I will have to hear about the year y'all beat us to a pulp in Bulldog Stadium again now for answering your question though...

Jags upset Ned by a late TD with the NED starters out to avoid injuries for the playoffs.
[/quote]

I highly doubt Neumann would pull the starters in a close game with an undefeated outright district title on the line. I think it'll be a close game, but if the Jags are to pull the upset it probably won't be because our backups are in...

What's the score? 30-28 Jags?

[quote name="robanadana" post="1318104" timestamp="1351915538"]
I thought you guys don't run the score up? Did a lot of kneeling the ball did ya'?
[/quote]

Backups played 1 1/2 quarters and did not throw any passes while they were in. All running plays. Let time expire inside the 10 with 3 timeouts in first half up 28-0. Also kneeled the ball late in the game while driving. Ask the Lumberton fans, Ned did not run the score up.

It really feels weird setting on the wrong side of this stadium.
[/quote]

I agree!

I understand not running up the score, but in the FIRST Half??? Will be interesting to see if the starters are done for the night now...

I think the Indians will have big problems stopping Jakobi Jones. Ozen 26 PNG 22

I agree. That stat shows how successful and dominant the ground game has been all season.

I think this will be a close game like last year. I will take the Pirates at home though. I think they have the better defense and are tough to beat at the Boneyard.

Who cares what the name of the offense is? Vidor runs it and they run it well! I agree with the Pirate fans for the most part that it is a misdirection offense with a lot of fakes and disguised handoffs vs. the triple option which involves a lot of pitches. Rarely when we have played Vidor do I remember much wide running with the option to pitch. Call it the oopty oop or whatever you want, but when the Pirates are clicking on offense they are tough to stop. They are definitely not a team you want to fall behind against. I have a question for Vidor fans.. How many total passes have been thrown this season? I know y'all threw it 16 times vs. Nederland, but what is the TOTAL for the season? I think that will give outsiders an indication of how successful the offense is, no matter what they want to call it or how they want to describe it. :-)

Nederland by several TDs and Lumberton won't score much. The margin in this game is irrelevant and I think the Dogs willl just want to be sharp and avoid injuries. I would say if the Dogs get up by 21 plus in the 2nd half that mass substitutions will occur.

[quote name="NDNation" post="1312690" timestamp="1351386660"]
And to give Vidor even more props...You hung 49 on us where Nederland could only manage 35. I think if Vidor played Nederland at this point in the season..the outcome would be different.
[/quote]

Nederland matches up very well with Vidor because of our front 4 and LB play. We are able to slow down their running game and force them to pass which is not their strong suit. That is why we beat them. They are very good, but I feel that Ned is a more complete team because we can run and throw and have a defense that is well equipped to slow down the Pirates.

I see the next two or three years dc being decided between the vidor and png games with Ned, central, and ozen in the mix as well.
[/quote]
Next year I would not throw Nederland out of the mix for district champs, we have some talented Sophmores and Juniors
[/quote]

Nederland will be VERY good again next year and probably the following year. The sophomore and junior class is very good. I am concerned about the depth of the freshman class though. We lost several kids to basketball. We do have a couple game changers on that freshman team though that will start paying dividends on varsity as soon as next year.

LCM 42
Lumberton 8

I will go with Nederland by 8. Always a good game when these two clash.

I think e point differentials have a 16 point cap if I remember correctly.

I will say Vidor wins here 41-22. AJ and Rose will make some plays, but the Indians can't stop the run against normal running teams and Vidor is far from normal running the ball.

I keep telling you guys that the Bulldogs just win. No style points, no blowouts, just good defense, opportunistic offense, and WINS. 14 straight district wins to be exact. The Dogs were sloppy tonight and STILL won by 25. Think San Francisco 49ers style. Nothing flashy, good defense, win ugly at times, but tough to beat. Congrats Dogs on another win. You Indian fans that weren't impressed, we weren't very impressed with y'all either. Come pull for Summer Creek in the playoffs if you'd like.
[/quote]

For what it's worth, Summer Creek was undefeated last season heading into the playoffs and were upset in the first round if I remember correctly. No doubt that they are a very good team, but not unbeatable. Just a question, who are you picking when Summer Creek faces Dayton in the final week of district? That game will more than likely determine who Nederland plays the first week of the playoffs.

I promise if y'all play summer creek they are going to run y'all up and down that field...I predict who ever has to play them the 1st round will get beat badly....they are a step above anyone in 20-4A... Just wait and see!!
[/quote]

Not that it matters, but that was AT LEAST 30 minutes before the game started because both teams are still on the field warming up. I think people overreact to crowds, crowd sizes, leaving early, etc. Who cares? I will say this though the Indians never quit tonight and the fans should be proud of their effort.

Nederland does not have many blowouts this year, but they are very good and know how to win. I think it will be fairly close with the Dogs pulling away late with a defensive TD. 31/14

This year it's not even fun to trash talk, PNG simply is out coached and out manned this year, next year, year after that, and the year after that. Gonna be a long next 4 years!!
[/quote]

Dont know how you can say that...last time I checked our Freshman team and JV team are both undefeated so far, We are not exactly without the next few years.
[/quote]

9th graders and JV don't win playoff games do they????
[/quote]

Nederland wont be winning a playoff game...at least not this year. Dayton or Summer Creek will take care of that.
[/quote]

Both of those teams are good, but not unbeatable at all. Neither are as good as the Pearland Dawson team last year that narrowly edged us. The first round will be tough, no doubt, but a winnable game in my opinion.
