  1. The coach did a good job. I like his offensive play calling. In the past 2 years with them playing Dfield I saw nicely designed plays guaranteed to get the ball in his playmakers hand. Congratulations on State Championship and good luck to him.

    Frustrating end for sure, but definitely nothing to hang your head on. Few miscues, play here or there and it's a slightly different ballgame. Through regulation, if you were to tell ANYONE that we'd only given up 14pts, EVERYONE including Helen Keller would have said it would have been a Daingerfield Victory and I'd venture to say we'd win this game 9/10 times, with that sole loss being last night. Was hoping for DF-Gunter/Canadian cause I don't really wanna see GT/C roll Tidehaven by 30 but I guess that's what we get.

    For many years if you look back through or if you know Tiger history you will see that each team with the exception of a few lost the next game after beating the Tigers. Melissa in 2011 and Newton in 2018 went on to win State. Southlake Carroll went on to win State in 1987 and Jefferson in 86. So I was wrong.

    Yes they did!! I Don’t understand why Daingerfield didn’t just keep punching the ball down their throats on that last drive before O/T  They ran the ball well all night. Don’t throw until you absolutely have to.

    oh well, good year DF.

    The Tigers didn't seem prepared and ready to play tonight.  Good season nonetheless.  Tigers

    Exactly what I saw. They don't have a lot of back end speed...DField is going to take the top off of that defense. Tigers just can't play sloppy and keep them in the game late. These kind of teams can be a pest late in a game with a solid RB. I think Dfield rolls...

    We gotta light up the scoreboard and make stops. Tidehaven is coming to play and will give it their best shot. We gotta stay focused and play disciplined ball.

    You're conflating sensitivity and confusion.  I predict a DF win.  I WANT a DF win.  I've said as much in these comments.  

    And yes - we both have our own predictions.  Notice how I have no comment on yours other than to acknowledge its existence.  The irony in saying I'm the sensitive one is absolutely astonishing to me.  Good luck.  Hope Gunter makes it past Canadian and gets to face Daingerfield in the championship game.

     

    ******happily leaves the conversation

    Sensitive in regard to your comment "this is weird y'all " in which I absorb as an effort to gain support because you want to be right and can't stand being questioned. I get it 😆 🤣.  Thanks for your disguised support!!

    I think the opposite is true.  Their defense is categorically not weak.  They have the #3 defense in the state of Texas across all 11-man classifications 2A thru 6A from a standpoint of points allowed per game.  You can blame SOME of that on a weak schedule; not all of it.  You can't be ranked 3rd among almost 2,000 teams because your entire schedule was just that much weaker than the other 1,800 teams.  After 2 games?  Maybe.  After 14, things start to even out a bit.  

    In either case, my method takes strength of schedule into account in a sort of roundabout way.  And I may be way off.  I'd be totally fine with that.  Everyone makes predictions.  Some people are going to pick against you - and I didn't even do that which makes this an interesting conversation for me.

    From all I can see the the type of defense they use is built around stopping the run. Dfield will force a lot of one on one situations. They will have a very hard time containing the Tiger offense.  In my opinion only, I think we will use our defense primarily to stop the run. We can go man on receiver because they usually only split one outside. Needless to say we have a above average safety.. I feel the Tigers have the edge on special teams. We'll see 👀

    I do in fact consider strength of schedule - in my own way - which works more often than not.  Im not trying to offend people with my predictions.  Just what i do for fun.  I certainly don't get many people offended that I picked their team to win....but by not enough points!  That's a new one.

    How I consider strength of schedule :

    Each game gets something I call "swing".  If you beat a team by 40 points that loses by 40 points on average, your swing is zero.  You don't get credit for doing to a team what every other team does to them on average.  If you beat a team by 40 that on average loses by 10, you get a +30 for that game.  If you beat a team by 20 that beats other teams by 20, you get a +40.  It's how much you "swing" that team out of their average game.  + is in hour favor, - in the other direction.

    For example, if you beat a team by 10 that LOSES on average by 20, you get a -10 for that game - even though you won.  This is my way of taking into account strength of schedule, and it works well most of the time.  If I'm way off, I'm way off, and ive certainly been way off before.  I'm just punching numbers into a spreadsheet.  I'm not praying to the gods. 

    Don't misunderstand Pax. I'm most certainly not offended by your predictions. It was just a question is all. I find it very interesting to read your assessments of the games. All questions and predictions will be answered in the next couple of weeks. 💯

    With all your extensive and detailed work have you just ONCE considered the strength of schedule? It's kinda easy to shut out teams like the Tubi Timberwolves and Bearville Cougars. If the Tigers play as I expect I figure a 35-42 - 21 type game with the Tigers on top. We'll see

    Pax I didn't realize how many Tiger fans had addressed your assessment before I posted. Basically most of us are on the same page. Tigers win regardless of margin.
