I don't think Haylon's injury is serious, he was walking around the sidelines without any hindrances. May be one of those sprains Jeff doesn't want to chance with PNG coming up. Someone please let us know!

Hope it's not serious, he did have his pads and helmet on midway through the 4th.  He is a big part of the offense and you could definitely notice his absence (and speed) in the second half.

[robanadana]

Yeah Tim, we did miss Haylon in the second half but I still think the penalties, especially personal fouls, are what did it. If I were Jeff, Saturday practice and some laps might take some of that craziness out of them. Certainly not Jeff Mathews football. Mav sure looked good at QB tonight, that kid just keeps getting better! 

[Tim Riggins]

Yes he did look good, a lot like his brother in fact.  Those penalties have sustained opponents' drives for two games now and hurt Pirates' offense's ability to sustain drives.

I had picked it 

Vidor 42

Lumberton 13

With Vidor having 28 at halftime.  Not to shabby.

Not bad at all.  I had it pegged as a one or two score, but what do I know.

Curelove, Tim Riggins and the rest of you Pirate faithful i'm gonna warn you...the purple indians are really gonna be nasty this week on the board. They're scared, get ready for the put downs. MCM is gonna be meaningless this year. Wah, Wah, Wah....

Never scared. There is a single goal in mind. You are just the next opponent. Ill let the kid do his talking on the field next Friday

[robanadana]

I think the game should be played on a neutral field with officials from Dallas. That's what I think. BTW, you guys got handicap parking on the visitor's side for my brother?

Run the table, you are in.  Win 3 out of last four with some help, you probably have a shot.

Yep, still have a shot! Gotta hang on to the ball! Can't keep giving opponents a short field! Get some kids back from injury. Had 4 defensive starters not playing tonight. Need to get them back! Young O-line is getting a little better each game!

I agree 100% about the O- line.  and your right, some great defensive players are out, but I'm still worried that the quarterback isn't running the ball as good as he was. Kind of new at this but even if the coach calls a passing play and he sees an opportunity to run, can't he? My opinion is he didn't have the best game and coach has 2 more quarterbacks waiting... maybe should have changed it up? (I tried to like but I had too many today or something... haha)

Great victory but I have to say it; we have to stop the STUPID penalties that kept Lumberton going in the 2nd half. Get rid of the personal fouls, not even close. Great job Pirates. As usual, Lumberton does not quit when they play us.

According to Chronicle stats, 11 penalties for 93 yards, smh.

[FrodoNDN]

Just looked at the stats, did I read it right that Lumberton had 7 turnovers?

I was thinking it was 6. 3 fumbles and 3 ints.

Sounds about right! I lost count. Vidor started too many possessions in our end of the field. The difference between winning programs and non winning programs is the ability to overcome adversity and not constantly shoot yourself in the foot. You don't have to have the most talent! Play disciplined, hard nosed football, and don't give your opponent free gifts! That's what happened in Livingston and Vidor. Must concentrate on Memorial and compete. Give yourself a chance to compete. Disciplined, assignment football. 

[FrodoNDN]

OK, 4/3 fumbles 3 interceptions. Dang...how many of those turned into quick points?

There was a pick 6 at the end of the first half. Also an int in the 4th that Vidor scored on the next play.

6 of them. All but one turned into points for us. Name of the game. Their QB took some shots...our defensive scheme is to hit the quarterback now. The pick 6 occurred when he threw while getting hit and it was picked off by #8, Payton Berg. 60 yard return for a TD through about 5 Lumberton players at the end of the first half. To answer Raider24, I don't think you have better talent than us this year. Haylon Leckelt sat the 2nd half against you with a bruised ankle. He scored the first two TDs on y'all.

Plus we literally imploded in the second half with penalty after penalty and boys losing there heads with personal fouls. They are regretting it today. So yeah there were turnovers but I don't think that they were the difference.

#15 or 18 had the pick 6. Brock Vincent

[FrodoNDN]

Yes, you guys had 93 yards in penalties. Total yardage was comparable.
