I went to the Nederland game. First, congratulations to the Bulldogs for winning. They already have beaten their record from last year. And, who’s to say they don’t keep winning? But, just taking tonight as my only sample (Tonight was my first time watching Nederland this year): Nederland is not good. Maybe they will be next week. Maybe they win state. But, today they are bad. The o-line is awful, and I mean awful. The defense is porous, d line is weak. The enthusiasm is absent. Numbers 1,2,3 and Sunday are the only four players on the team with any heart. Mistakes, penalties, false starts, pathetic tackling. Inconsistent (looked good at the beginning, looked bad-to-average the rest of the night). Conditioning is weak. It’s shocking, and not what I’m used to as someone who has watched Nederland all my life. All of that goes back to coaching. I don’t believe anyone should bash the players. And no reason to “bash” the coaches. They’re doing their best. I don’t want to be negative. I went to the game to root for Nederland. I wish them the best until they play PNG. But for all that 3-0 looks good on Nederland, tonight was bad football between two bad football teams. But, I’ve been wrong before. Maybe I’m wrong about this.
