Has anyone let the Yanker know this is a Thursday kickoff? We really need to hear from the wise one!

He put a prediction on the HC/West Creek thread

[PatriotNation]

HC wins 40 - 26. Good game to have before playoffs.

Sounds like it was closer than the experts thought it would be.

40-12 AND we didn’t play well at all. In any facet of the game. It was a good time to have one of these games, especially coming off a bye. You’ll see a different team next week at Northwest.

Exactly what I thought. It was a great time to have this kind of game. We will be fine.

Not sure yet but right now we would play Kirby. If Ridgeway loses to Kirby next week we would play Ridgeway. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

I am starting to see some trends on this team. Some good and some not so good.

What are the trends you like and what you don't?

[gr8tn08]

Game management by the QB is getting better each game as is his overall play. All of the running backs are running much harder than they were the first of the year. Not sure I agree with the way the coaches are playing them right now but I understand why. Defense is still playing good overall. Kicking game is better than I expected it would be this year.

Teams that have bigger lines tend to give us some problems and I hope that doesn't hurt us down the road. That goes for both sides of the ball. Our tackles aren't that big and that could be a problem. We don't get a good pass rush most of the time because of a bigger OL unless we blitz. Why is #1 not being used more on offense? I would like to see the play called in with at least 20 sec. left on the play clock so we can have time to make adjustments if need be.

I'm just the average fan so I'm sure others may have picked up on some of this.

Yeah I agree with majority of this. Of course last night was NE's championship game. They played really hard. My feeling about #1 not being used more on offense is because we really didn't need him as much on that side last night or most games this year. He is a beast on defense. I'm sure he will be used more on offense if need be during the playoffs. QB threw some nice balls last night the receivers have to make some of those catches though. I like #87 at TE. He has good hands! Even with having some problems with their bigger defensive line we still put up 33 points of offense
