[/quote]Funny thing is that there is still an outside chance should we win out the rest of the games. Now here in the real world. Vidor next week....yikes!!! But, like they always say crazier things have happened ??? To be honest if we keep turning the ball over we just won't win...plain and simple....Again, I am for the Dogs to go the remainder of the way undefeated. If they do, does anyone know if they would go big school after district?

Good Lord people, we got beat by the better team last night. Take away the mistakes, I still think we would have lost. Is what it is. What I witnessed last night was the 2012 Indians. Mistakes, and by mistakes I mean ave 3 turnovers a game, all year have made the scores worse. First time I have seen the snapping go to crap though. But, I think we did better last night than in most games. I hope we win another game, but doesn't look good. I will be there cheering them on though. I hope Nederland goes to State. If PN-G can't go I will be pushing for the Dogs all the way. As far as Summer Creek, I think the dogs can take them. Defensive front would do good against that running back.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the home side of NDN stadium holds aorund 6,000 and the visitor side holds around 4,000, somebody correct me if I am wrong here. So if you take the people left in the pic on the home side and move them to the visitor side it would look ALOT fuller. Also, people who don't know the traffic issues at this game really need to get a clue. We are losing pretty good at this point, so alot of people who come for the band leave early to beat the traffic. If the game was closer, no one would leave, I promise. And BTW, PNG band IMHO dominated half time, just saying for who ever made that comment. Although I think Nederland's military style band did a GREAT job!  ;D

Anyone who is not aware of this fact does not know high school football. [/quote] I know, I know. If this team can stay intact and come up thru the ranks together...we should field a good group in a couple of years. [/quote]Agree....and wait 'til Kenale as a Freshman on varsity next year shows up....kids a freak of nature!!! I know its the future and I haven't given up on our Varsity boys yet! Stranger things have happened..... ;) Good luck NDN's!!!!

Smack talk is sooo much easier when your winning ;) As Kid Rock Says " It ain't bragging @#*! if you back it up" well NDN fans are laying low this year....we'll be back next year and for the next few years..... :P

Ugh >:(.....Don't epect a win but if we can stop the turn overs and keep the ball on the ground to take up the clock, we could have a chance. Best case scenerio, Jags turnover more than us and we take advantage. I keep saying this team is not as bad as the scores, I hope they start to prove me right. We MUST play mistake free ball, period to have a chance to win. [move][size=36pt][color=purple]PNG[/color][/size][/move]

The talent just isn't their!! PNG has a great core of talent beginning next year and the following 4 years. Just need to continue to support the kids the rest of the year, there is still time to be a sleeper in this district. [/quote] Do you have an effective running game at your subvarsity levels?  Are there key defensive kids moving up to varsity next year? From all games, info, I have it may be a few more lean years for PNG unless transfers come in. [/quote]Actually the freshman class coming up is pretty stout, not just the QB but they're loaded. The sophmores have some really good players. There is a running back on JV that is a sophmore that has dominated, also Ky Walker is a sophmore. I don't know how our juniors are. JV record is good. I don't know if they have lost yet. We have an eigth grader,Kenell, that has the potential and probably will play varsity next year and start. This kid is one of those rare kids that come thru. He is running JV speeds as a 8th grader. Plus that 8th grade team is crazy good....So this year and next year may be our drought.....or maybe just this year....we will see...but after that we will be big and more important fast....

Way to support the team. . [/quote] Did you call them out in front of everyone?? If not, you're just as guilty. [/quote] My Husband and several others around us were shouting back. I always support the team, win or lose. I know everyone has obnoxious fans...but some are overboard crazy..and they seem to love sitting around me. [/quote]That is sad if that happened. I didn't go to the game but listened to it online. I would have called them out too....their just kids people.....

Not to throw fuel on the Faircloth fire but here we go..... BF's system here is a good one. I like the way he set it up. When you dive into specifics is where I take issue. Defense wins games. We haven't had a good defense since Doty's junior year. That was Burnett's trained kids. WHen you focus mainly on offense and neglect defense things go bad. Our mechanics as tacklers are horrible. If you remember Doty's senior year we won basically by outscroing our opponents. Look at Willis. We even scored 40 something points on Manvel. They just scored more. Also, last year our defense was the same way and they had some good talent on that team. Look I know you have ups and downs, but the team we have now is not this bad. They fail on some basic things, ie wrapping up and gang tackle. Talent assessment has troubled me, too. Some players just seem out of position. Now I am not trained in this but some things are just so glaring you have to wonder. If you remember last year many posters on here talking about a player named Arvie. Many fans did not understand why he didn't play more. He had proven himelf over the years and he did get a little playing time. Bertrand was a stud, I know, but it just seemed that with both on the field the defense couldn't key on just one of them. I know his offense calls for something different, but in highschool you must adjust to the talent you have. Larry Nueman does this well. Again, I am an armchair coach here, but I don't come to this with just guessing, there are those on the inside that are not armchair that wonder the same thing. I have been hearing about AJ since he was in middle school and that he has the size and speed, but just not the coordination yet and was hoping that he would catch up with his body. He was put at quarterback and did not play his junior year except a few plays. To me that is not fair to him if you expect him to be your number one guy as a senior especially with this form of offense. Should have been down on JV getting experience. But then I see him at wide receiver and he seems a natural there. 6'5' receiver with speed is a good thing. Should have been there all along. If I see this, then you would think the professionals would see this. Again, I know we are in a down year but this isn't just about this year. I am still willing to give BF a chance because he has good ideas and maybe he will adjust some of his philosophy on the defense side.

Oh yea....their passing game is killing us too  :o

:o Ugh  :'( .... We're just not that good.... Ceasar is having his way with us.....

If our defense would get back to basics and wrap up!! I mean we make a hit in the back field and then let go....drives me crazy. Also, where is the gang tackling we used to do? ??? I think we have the talent but the tackling is horrible. It has been that way for 4 years now. Sorry blowing off steam.....A J came out of his shell this past week and looked very good. That catch he made was crazy. I think it depends on who tackles better but gotta go with my Indians Indians 22 LC=M  15

After seeing Summer Creek and what they can do.....gotta go with them....Maybe Crosby can prove me wrong, but it will take alot to beat that team....

Haven't seen Dayton, so can't make a fair assessment, but Summer Creek is crazy good. I always go for the purple and white but man if Dayton is anywhere close to Summer Creek, I would love to see that game....

Yes...they are pretty freaking good!!!! :o

I love my NDN's, but don't understand that poll.... ???

[/quote] see u at game...might want to come sit on winning side....game will get ugly real fast. [/quote] I dont care if I'm sitting on the winning side or not! I support my boys even when they aren't winning. I'm a RAIDER fan no matter what the score is [/quote] Keep supporting your guys Raidergirl....they are all in a tough situation, but they go out on the field and show heart....in the end that's all that matters. Goodluck to you guys and I pray that everyone is safe and keeps walking on the field with their heads held high and proud to support there team!!!

I'm with you Nation...Walker should start, Keep AJ at wide out and work extra on his hands and routes. If AJ can develop there he will be hard to stop. AJ actually ran hard after catching the ball which gives me hope for him. If he get's rid of the timidness and realize his size, watch out.. And with Walker's accuracy it can be nuthin but good. I would do nothing but throw AJ passes all week...practice, practice....That said...Rose and Medina looked really good..where did Medina come from? He's a senior and looked good...hope he gets some more plays at running back.

Vidor ALWAYS plays Nederland tough and could pull out the upset...anyone have a history on Nederland - Vidor?

Well, I try to be a humble man....not Summer Creek Humble, but humble....Knew my NDN's were gonna have a long season and will weather it out. Summer Creek is the real deal....that quarterback and running back are awesome!!! And their linebackers are the best I've seen in a long time. Of course 5 freaking turnovers don't help. Not saying we could have won, but 5 turnovers is horrible. I did see some bright points. I think Walker will get better each week. He looked good throwing the ball. AJ actually didn't look bad at receiver, just have to work on his hands. Love his height out there.  Be honest I think we've played some very tough teams in nondistrict and it should only help. SIlsbee, WOS and Summer Creek was a heck of a schedule. Good luck to Summer Creek, but I don't think you guys will need it except to stay healthy....We still have a chance to make it past district...Slim, but ya never know :D [move][glow=red,2,300][color=purple][size=18pt]Go NDN'S[/size][/color][/glow][/move]

Ok, I talked with some friends that have players on the field. These are VERY reliable guys and they said SC was dirty in the 4th quarter. I didn't know a SC kid got kicked out in the 1st quarter. Also, The guy in the red shirt I mentioned earlier was actually cornered by the police after the game. So I guess there were some things that went down.

This is tuff!!!! Go Nederland!!! There I said it.... :o ;D

I am not trying to contradict anyone here, I was at the game lastnight and I did see some crazy things. #25 for us and #4 for Summer Creek got into it for some reason which sparked some emotions from the fans. Our coaches pulled #25 briefly to calm him down, as well as they should have. I thought #4 was kicked out but he received a hugh pass on there next set of downs, coaches probably did the same on their side. Might of been his dad that was hollering in a red shirt about packing the kids up. I left before the game was over but I didn't see anything that overly concerned me from Summer Creek coaches except him coming out on the field after those two got in a fight, which wasn't that big of a deal. Now it could have got worse, I dunno.....It is 9th grade, but Summer Creek did not look disciplined as far as play execution. They had some athletes though. That #4 and #11 were tall and fast!! There was a lady in a white shirt that was screaming but she was just into the game, nothing bad. Heck, she made some good observations. SHe could have been on the sidelines :o.....Summer Creek was stomping the ground after some of the ref calls, but I think they were just trying to fired up, nothing wrong with that. Again, I might have missed somethings because I left early.

Man it's crazy over here at the reservation. Shame for Chipman, I had high hopes for him. He is a big lefty pitcher though and should be successful in baseball. With that said we will see some interesting people at receiver this week...

Gonna be tough, but like I said, never count us completely out..... Go PNG! Beat Summers Eve!!! ;D
