No doubt, PN-G earned this victory. They exposed Vidor's one dimensional offense. Once they got behind, the couldn't recover. But, it may be a blessing for Vidor, so to speak. Now maybe they'll realise you do have to pass a little to keep the other team guessing. But, will Matthews snap to this? Only time will tell. Like I've said before, I've seen this offense excel before. But there were passes involved also.

Actually, Bru, I hope you are right, for the kids sake. But you know my thoughts. Only time will tell. But if it's like I think, then Neumann will obviously have to live with the outcome 3-4 years down the road. But along the way, we'll have something, one way or the other, to discuss. You'll have to run Neumann out of town before that happens, these guys have been through thick and thin together, they're as thick as thieves. Either Neumann is right or wrong, we'll know in a couple of years, Nederland has some very talented groups coming through. I'm reserving judgement until next year. I know that group is loaded with talent, if they don't get it done with these groups, then I'll admit you were right Smitty. But, I have a strong feeling you won't have much to talk about along these lines over the next 3-4 years?

Thanks.

I'm interested also. When did Neumann win the district championship? This is your shot to teach us. Your crazy. Where were you when Neumann was winning district championships every year. This is just one down year becuase of too many injured players. The Dogs will still make the playoffs this year. We already played the best 3 teams in the district. uh,, okay.

OK, time for a little schooling. Using this offense with very little pass incorporated, Vidor will have a hard time coming from behind, as we all saw Friday. Now there were some that stated Vidor didn't really play anyone in pre-district and it was hard to get a true handle on them. But their supporters were not deterred. They stated; "we are the baddest team on the block." Well, after pre-district, Vidor sits at 2-2. Trust me when I say this: no State Championship, much less District Championship, will be won with little or no passing game. If Vidor does either, then I'll be the first in line to eat crow. But to be fair, I still think that if they had the threat of the pass, say, 70-30, run-to-pass ratio, there is a distinced possibility that they could have beaten PN-G. But, that's one for the conversation bowl. i think they need to pass more. every team we play knows where the ball will be carried. lets try something different to throw off the other teams. It worked against everyone else and Vidor fans were sure quick to brag about it. No all of a sudden the offense is not good enough? How about PN-G's defense is the best you have seen and it is not even close.

Good guess. But a little off. Did you get there early?

Agreed. It's a good offense. But you have to incorporate the pass to keep the defense thinking. The only thinking PN-G needed last night was RUN. i think they need to pass more. every team we play knows where the ball will be carried. lets try something different to throw off the other teams.

Central gained 415 total yards. 396 on the ground. I've alway said it's not the players that's the problem. Neumann's either going to make a change or he's not. It'd totally up to him. We shall see.

You are correct. I thought Vidor was going to win because I also thought Vidor had a better defense. I was wrong about that. Well, Smitty? The problem for Vidor in that game was defense not fumbles. Vidors defense really could not stop us. Their offense played well but it came down to our defense outplayed theirs. Thay have a good team and will be in the playoffs, I am very confident of that.

I changed it to just breakfast in bed. ;D

Matthews tried to get the officials to look at the screen. It even showed it was home cooking. Matthews knew it. Heck, anyone that saw it knew it was at least breakfast in bed. give it up. Let's not act like the call was a no-brainer. I guess Vidors one penalty all night was home cooking also. I guess all the personal fouls were home cooking. How about the penalty for a sideline warning when the Vidor coaches livedon the field? Get that crap out of here.

You are right.

No excuses. I stated that PN-G played a great game. I'm not talking about any other fumble other than the one right before half time. That one wasn't a fumble. It was 7-7 at that time. Could have been a tide turner. What about the fumble on Vidors opening offensive play??? And home cooking??? We had 6 penalties an Vidor had 0. So stop using excuses.

The visiting team's coach dictates what officials are used? Trust me, that was not a fumble. It had to be at least breakfast in bed if not home cooking!

My thoughts on this are well known. I'm curious what other people think. What do think? Make changes or stay the course? PS - What was the total yardage given up by Nederland last night? Just curious. Agreed Soulja, the better team won tonight. Smitty, what changes are you looking for?

This will do it every time.

I believe you are correct. correct me if im wrong but if it comes down to those three school in a tie situation..It would go to Ozen because they beat both teams

I was impressed with PN-G's defense last night. Offense was also good. But I have to admit: Vidor got screwed by a little home cooking on that fumble right before half time. But... Now for Vidor: The offense they run can be a good one. But in order to be a true contender they need to pass a little more. And not wait to run their bootleg pass on 3rd down. It's hard to play catch-up when you get down by two or three TD's when you don't pass alot. The best they can do now is 3rd place. IMHO.

But, the question is: will changes be made so this won't happen? What say anyone?

This one is a little surprising.

;D : : Low scoring game. Nederland? Perfect Defense? Please! :

I wonder: do coaches ever yell at the officials? Maybe someone can help me out here.

If there are only two teams that go then the two top spots are what they shoot for. This way they can say they accomplished something. But on the other hand if it's a feel good thing then let's let all teams go. But then you'll see how silly it can really get.

I totally dislike the 4 team concept. After the second team it becomes cheapened. It used to be an honor. Now it's nothing more than a money thing for these school districts. It won't be long before all teams go to the playoffs.
