Westmoreland played hard and just ran over us most of the game. They deserved the victory for playing a good overall ballgame and slowing us down. We showed some grit that second half and the QB made some pretty amazing plays. Penalties just too much to overcome

Made some good points. That has hurt us a couple times this year. That one kid is good for a penalty a game for something like that. He had a big one against Marion that really hurt us but also took a 4th and 1 about 60 yards for a TD. He has the potential to be a pretty solid player if he can learn to cool it down and play team ball. Good luck with Tyner. It only gets tougher.

We needed that big play. It was huge. Little 2 and 3 yard plays with all these penalties makes it nearly impossible for offense to string long drives together

They were pounding us prior to that. Stats were staggering. It was a beat down. Score could have easily been a lot worse.

They got them for couple 15 yarders but we were killing ourselves with field position. Their punter hit two punts over 50. One about 65 that pinned us back around 2 yard line that set up their second TD after we had turnover on downs

Sorry had to hit restroom. Meigs missed 2 point conversion. Was 16 to 6 Westy less than a minute before half when went to bathroom

Good response. They woke up. I thought it was about to get ugly The score should be a lot worse for how bad we played. They need to keep it up second half. They got a habit of making comebacks

Could be a long ride home

16 to 0. Meigs has run 9 plays for about 5 total yards of offense and no first downs. Westmoreland run about 20 plays around 150 yards of offense or more and probably 10 first downs. Meigs has to do something quick

I feel we have some great athletes currently and the last several years but just feel we don't spread the ball around enough to keep good defenses honest. I think to be considered a strong offense we need to be more balanced. Over the years it has shown as we advance. This year #5, 10, 13, 23. And 25 have made a couple nice catches and have the ability to make plays but we seem to only pass maybe a couple times a game when it's extremely obvious.

I think both teams got the capability to be pretty good offensively but need to do a little more. They both do have some talented players. Meigs had three nice pass plays when they really needed them to three different athletes. #10, #13 and number #5 made some nice grabs for first downs but I think that was our only three completions. With the QB and 23 and that senior FB running it they got some options. When we play tougher and bigger teams it's gets difficult just trying to run over them. I'm still confused how Marion couldn't figure out or stop our QB from going left.

I agree with you about the neither defense not being able to stop each other but I don't necessarily believe it was a showcase of two strong offenses either. Meigs was getting nothing running up the middle. The only play that was working was the QB keeper running to the left side. I can't figure why Marion couldn't stop that. You could hear their fans screaming from across the field their running the same play. Look what Tyner Defense and even Polk and Bledsoe Defenses did against Marion and Meigs. I wouldn't classify either as a strong offense.

I think it was more their offensive line than number 4 the second half. You was right about our QB. Meadows ran hard and made a couple nice throws when he needed to. He also took couple big hits and kept trucking

Someone said Meigs wouldn't let one guy beat them. They better contain number 4. He is wearing them out. 4th and 12 and he takes the pass for one T.D. Then 1 timeout and about a minute to go and 70 yards and he gets loose for couple big plays. On one play Meigs had a DB covering him up on the line and another guy behind that DB about 10 yards. He is slippery. It's going to be a good second half hopefully

I dont think it was much of a challenge against Basin or Polk but they held their own against Tyner for awhile. They did miss several tackles that led to some big yardage plays. I think Tyner helped us out dropping some balls and making some mistakes. They didn't look as good as what I seen previously in film but give our guys credit. That could be from our guys getting pressure or playing decent coverage. I think we have the advantage against Marion. They don't have the weapons Tyner has. We just got to keep that Pickett under wraps and don't let him get loose for too many big plays.

Come on now. This is madness. Meigs went in to Marion last year and hit those boys hard. They was trying to run the clock out or might have put up another score. Injuries hurt. Meigs has had more than their share last couple years. We could say injuries have kept Meigs from hoisting a couple State Championships. I do feel however after watching that Signal and Marion game on T.V. that Marion is legit. Meigs better but a couple kids on that number 4 and not let him get any space or he will end up in the end zone. I expect it to be a good game. Marion passed the ball more than I expected and Meigs struggles with pass D.

Meigs has not been able to cover the pass or make tackles in space for years. They can stop the run though. They are hanging in. That was a big touchdown to end the half. That hurts.

Finally a nice roll out and couple shots downfield. Almost connected

It won't last long. They just look better. I don't see us stopping them. It's a struggle for us to get 10 yards in 4 downs

It could get ugly fast. Our guys are waiting to make tackles. They got to be aggressive and go tackle instead of setting back on their heels. Offense can't get anything going. Got to try something besides running up the middle. Tyner has some big boys and are putting 8 and 9 in the box

Tyner has played Marion and Bledsoe. Meigs will not be the best team you have faced. Bledsoe beat our boys in Decatur. That is a big statement. Meigs had chances to win the game but they didn't. We only had 14 points against Polk before we punched that last score in the last minute last week to win 21 to 0. I have been to all our games and watched several Marion and Tyner games on film. Meigs can play with Marion and that should be a great game to end the season at home for Meigs and will be huge for playoff positioning. I still feel however Marion has the better team. I would almost guarantee they will put a pretty good whipping on Polk tomorrow night. Tyner however has a huge advantage over Meigs. I thought they were the better team last year when they came to Meigs. They were the younger team then facing a team that had been to state and was expected to go back with several all-state players and a Mr. Football Candidate. They looked like the better team last year and almost pulled the upset barely missing that 2 point conversion. Watching those seniors on film this year they look tough. Miss one tackle and its a touchdown. They are solid all around and look like they are on a mission. I am still pulling for Meigs however. I hope we can make a game out of it and keep it close. It will take some big plays and turnovers to do that I believe.

I have been to all of Meigs games and do feel that they are becoming a better football team every week. The QB had never played a game in high school at the start of the season. I feel that they had several opportunities to win the game against Bledsoe and should have won that game. I hope they learned from it. I have also watched Marion and Tyner on film and just feel they are both overall better football teams than Meigs. Tyner by far. I do think Meigs can play with Marion at home and that should be a great game to end the season but they will have to play their best game yet to win it. As for this Friday night I think Meigs needs to continue to focus on improving and play with everything they got. It will take everything they got to hang with Tyner and I still feel they will need some help. They are going to need some turnovers and or big plays to make it a game. Tyner had Meigs beat last year at home and went for the 2 point conversion and failed. They looked like the better team last year when they were all Juniors and Meigs had all those Seniors including 3 or 4 All-State players and a Mr. Football Candidate. I am pulling for Meigs but they are going to have to pull off a major upset.

I think they are good enough to win the next four or five games but they could just as easily let a couple of them slip away. Signal and Polk on the road will be tough ones and that Polk county game is a big region contest. At least Marion County to close it out is at home. Tyner is on a different level. Our team from last year had trouble with them and they pretty much got all their skill players returning. Hopefully the boys will get it figured out and come together. If not they might be setting at home watching the playoffs

Looking at the schedule I would agree with you. They could just as easily be 3 and 0 or 0-3. We will see what these guys are made up of the next several weeks and how bad they want it. That game at Polk County looks a lot tougher every week and Tyner and Marion to finish it off. I mentioned about making a deep run in the playoffs. It is hard to get a read on this team. They continue this trend they might not even make the playoffs. They definitely need to play better than they have been playing and clean up the mistakes. To be able to hang in there with as many mistakes and misfortunes they have had says something about their will.

I like the short passes. We got a couple of backs that run tough and can make some plays but I don't know how much talent we actually have compared to years past however. I have been hearing people say they are young and have the talent but I am not so sure after watching these first three games. We have had several all region players and a couple all state players on teams for the last five or six years. I just do not see it with this team. They have a couple solid ballplayers but overall I don't see the gamechangers. They do not have the size or speed. Bledsoe looked like the better team last Friday. Sweetwater looked like the better team the first weekend. Too many mistakes, penalties, turnovers, and players yapping at each other. I do feel that they can compete however with most of the teams on their schedule but I don't see a deep run into the playoffs unless they get some things worked out.
