Definitely need a dislike button!!!

That early team didnt but the one this group transformed into sure did.

Not after, they kind of went towards each other then turned to the sidelines.

Actually at least after the toss there was no hand shaking at all, just watched it on texan live.

There is a lot of things you dont have to do on the field or in life, but it doesnt make them right or respectful. Yes it is a tradition on the field and rightfully so.

Yes and that was the issue in the prior game.

Didnt make it for the coin toss, so cant answer that. As far as that second question, i did notice that and it is not something i am fond of and know in a previous game it was an issue with many in the stands on a lot more serious looking injury(player was down not moving and emts were called out very quickly). That needs to be changed. As far as shaking hands at the toss i am not sure if we normally shake or just go back and get ready.

Notice a pattern...all those big plays except for the throwing of a pass came on the defensive side. Not much you can do to limit that. As far as where we could limit him, our defense did a pretty good job most of the night. He made his catches but rarely made many yards afterwards. The one big exception on that side of the ball was that last drive when he took it on himself and ran the ball at will. Sure That big pass play may have been a direct result of us seeing him with the ball and leaving those receivers open, i understand that. That is good coaches making a good play call. As far as the fake punt, i was sitting on the very first row, heard nothing, heck couldnt have heard anything. The option to run never should have been there and if he had no option than i hope his teammates forgive him. After that missed field goal it really made little difference except possibly field position. They got no points and we got the ball back with time to score...which had to be our goal after giving them the ball back either way. Bottom line we lost a game that we had multiple opportunities to win. That hurts but i couldnt be more proud of this team. Not only for their play this season but how they handled themselves from early on when things werent going well all the way until the end when they were.

Hmm tough one there. I didnt like the going for it on 4th down at midfield in the first half or the fake punt from our own 20 with about 4 mins left. Other than that i liked or was ok with most of the rest. Didnt like so many plays up the middle at times. Bunched a bunch of those together.

Maybe so, our first one may have been partially blocked, either way it was a miss. Then we went for 2 which they got. Never got to try to kick another. 0-3 on 2 pt conversions. And that was the difference. They got 2 and we missed out on the other 5 pts from the tries(1 kick and the other 2 pt tries).

Weather??? Yes turnovers played a big part such as a 2 pt int return that changed the xp tries the rest of the game. And the one that ended it. And when it’s an obvious hold it’s goung to be called just like they were on us. You won congratulations. Now go see how you handle pleasant grove. One thing about it your coaches and players won’t forget Silsbee anytime soon.

Great season Tigers. Tough game to lose with so many opportunities. You knew after we went ahead that they were going to put it in Whittington’s hands and he delivered. We did pretty good at least limiting him most of the night, sure he made his catches but we kept the big play away. Great turn around from early on and you went toe to toe tonight.

Playing good. Hope that xp doesn’t end up being the difference.

Thought that would have been learned in that first district game.

Was wondering if I heard right and If that was the right person. Yes praying..

I wondered that but now am thinking Jingle Bell Ball??

You can throw that Newton game out. One they are Newton. And two, just like many teams, we reallly hadnt found ourselves yet. We didnt have a qb to around the 5th game. We were still using 2 qbs and neither one was Foster until the 4 th or 5 th game at least. Teams were stacking up against us and targeting the run especially when Taylor was in. We really didnt have any passing game at that point. Now you have to at least be prepared for both. Wont say you cant stop our running game but it is a lot harder now.

Saw that team several times. That is a tuff statement. Maybe he was second best all around, maybe. The way he shot the ball makes it tuff to say he wasnt the best.

It is still an if but the if there was more of a fact. Tyler’s feet went out from under him with noone between him and the goal. If he jadnt slipped he walks into the enzone giving the Tigers a 2 score lead with less than 2 minutes left. Game over. Instead they get the ballback and win on basically a hail mary as time runs out. No excuse it happens, just happened on our best chance to beat Carthage in our recent playoff meetings.

Not there but I would imagine the point total being higher is partly a result of more possessions than in most games and our bench playing a good bit.

Yes but probably not as much as some may think. I am sure the bench will see plenty of action.

Probably trying to limit turnovers but doesn’t appear to be working.

Any video?? Stuck home with a sick daughter.

Glad you said that. I messed that one all up looking at it and had thought it was monday all along.

Yeah i know.
