BMTSoulja1 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 I agree. I made a comment to that earlier this year... Even players on the sideline should take a knee... VHS1989 1 Quote
NDNation Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Correction: We had the gray helmets on. I must be color blind. Under the lights they looked purple. As far as the taking a knee...it was all over Facebook after last week's game also. It is what it is.Good game Indians! Mr. Buddy Garrity and PNG Proud 2 Quote

Tiger33 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 I believe i predicted the score on this game. I knew the Goose wasn't to impressive a few weeks ago and we had about five turnovers against them and let the game get aways from us. Good Job PNG! prepballfan 1 Quote
Stattrax Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Prayers for the injured player.. My thoughts on the game... Offensively I was proud BF kept it vanilla... Especially without Giblin.. Sullivan and Mcgough stepped up... Defensively we played better after the first drive.. LL layed some hard hits... Conditioning seemed to be better than the last few games.. And the DC made some good adjustments... All in all we are young on the defensive side, but getting better by the week.. Robinson filled in well for Rembert... And BF pulled the starters on both sides and emptied the sidelines... So honestly I don't have much to gripe about.. The upcoming weeks will tell the tale.... IMO the cakewalks are over..... Should make for some good upcoming games.... prepballfan 1 Quote

Coogs will go D2. What about PNG? prepballfan 1 Quote

NDNation Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Focus should be on the injured player on the field, not on who or who isn't taking a knee. So booing and yelling across the field at our players, that's just as distracting. They are KIDS! GCM didn't take it to far though. I pray the kid is going to be all right. It looked serious.

PNGFan Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 There is a reason why we don't take a knee. If you want to know ask the coach, he will tell you!!!!!! prepballfan 1 Quote
Coach85 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Prayers for the injured player that it was not serious.I can't believe grown people are on here talking about our team not hitting a knee. Hitting a knee is not out of respect for the injured. It was started in junior leagues so that when a kid got injured the other kids stayed in one place and weren't roaming all over while the coaches checked on the injured kid. Back in my days we never hit a knee. Hell I watched two years in a row, 85 & 86, a QB for PNG get a compound fracture to their leg playing French. French never hit a knee while they were working on either one of them. This hitting a knee has gotten out of hand. Believe me I am very concerned when a kid gets an injury to that severity but hitting a knee is not going to do anything for it. I saw a few kids hit a quick knee a send a prayer up for him that I guess most weren't seeing because they were more worried why we were not acting like a junior league team.

CowboysNIndians Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 If it's "disrespectful" to NOT take a knee, why is it OK for the injured players team to enjoy a water break?? If a player gets a stinger, slight pull, or cramp do you really think the other team should completely stop ?? Now, last night was different. When the young man was obviously seriously injured BOTH teams respectfully moved to the sidelines.Turn on the TV right now - name one D1 team that drops on the spot to take a knee so as not to be "disrespectful." Yes I'm bias, and an Indian for Life. CAL2TEX, PNGFan, BlackShirts5 and 1 other 4 Quote
Octfeb Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 My thoughts on taking a knee. Seriously injured take a knee if it makes a player feel better out of respect. But yelling and screaming because a team didn't take a knee is way more disrespectful than not taking a knee. I do believe though taking a knee is becoming something of the past. Having complete silence when a kid is seriously injured from both sides speaks way louder than taking a knee or getting angry and yelling "take a knee".

I'm always taken aback when someone is injured and I hear boo's coming from across the field. I mean, you have a young man down on the field and all he is hearing is his crowd booing. That can't be comforting. Octfeb 1 Quote
NDNation Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 When they took him off the field, he got a standing ovation from us. Octfeb 1 Quote
Stattrax Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 This is nothing but a internet topic... It doesn't make a hill of beans.... Knee or no knee.. You show respect and that's what it's about.. Nobody was running around or booing... He got a long standing ovation... People should be worried about the kid and his family.... Quote
Coach85 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 I know the guy that posted it on Facebook when he played the teams didn't hit a knee either. Just goes to show what society has gone to. Quote
prepballfan Posted October 4, 2015 Report Posted October 4, 2015 Any news on the injured young man??? Quote
