H3llR4z0r Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well, here it is. A game I was once anticipating for other reasons, I am now seeing is an absolute must win for Atlanta. If they do not win this, they are out of the playoffs. My, how this season has transpired from what it was thought to have been before week 1. I will add I information on this game tomorrow. The most important part though is - Atlanta has to win. Atlanta hasn't beat Gilmer in 13 years. Gilmer Buckeyes(7-1) vs Atlanta Rabbits(5-3) Gilmer's opponents combined records - (30-32) .484 Atlanta's opponents combined records - (34-27) .557 Atlanta leads the series is tied at (26-24), dating all the way back to 1925. Gilmer averages 49.1 PPG, while allowing just 30.9 PPG.Atlanta averages 28.9 PPG, while allowing 24.5 PPG. Last 5 meetings: 2015 - Gilmer - 24 | Atlanta - 15 - Qtr Finals 2014 - Gilmer - 64 | Atlanta - 25 - Qtr Finals 2013 - Gilmer - 57 | Atlanta - 7 2012 - Gilmer - 57 | Atlanta - 13 - Regional Playoffs 2012 - Gilmer - 31 | Atlanta - 17 Atlanta is coming off a disappointing loss to Gladewater (7-22). Gilmer is coming in after a 2nd half rally to beat Spring Hill (42-7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta has everything to gain in this game, and we're 4-0 at home. Hopefully we can pull the rabbit out of the hat so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasualObserver70 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 This district could get totally messy before its all said and done. And if 4 teams make the playoffs, Atlanta could still be in with a loss to Gilmer. But if Atlanta wins, there could be the potential for multiple 1 loss or 2 loss teams in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bock Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Do you know how this system works? If so explain, because I'm not sure Points differential, example pitt, pg, atl all tie at 2-3, i think Atl would be left out Pitt d Atl 56-20 +18 Atl d PG 14-7 + 7 PG d Pitt 31-18 +13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingnut Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Points differential, example pitt, pg, atl all tie at 2-3, i think Atl would be left out Pitt d Atl 56-20 +18 Atl d PG 14-7 + 7 PG d Pitt 31-18 +13 Actually you also have to take it a step further. Pitt def Atlanta +18 but lost to PG -13 so Pitt is +5. Atlanta loses to Pitt -18 but beats PG +7 so Atlanta is -11. PG beats Pitt +13 loses to Atlanta -7 so PG is +6. PG +6 Pitt +5 Atlanta -11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrookedWolfe Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Gilmer takes this one fairly easy. After looking at the breakdown, looks like Atlanta will start basketball early this year. When was the last time Atlanta didn't make the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagondriver Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'm thinking atlanta has a chance to pull this off. I believe they play similar styles and match up on qb and speed.GW was too much for the rabs but I can see this one being a nail biter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3llR4z0r Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Atlanta will be coming into this game knowing what has to be done. It could be interesting. A lot of these players have had this game circled for the entire season. I expect them to play as if they were playing PG, because this Atlanta team has a vendetta for Gilmer.

Acewell Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Atlanta in a huge upset. Just keep safeties deep. Cover screens. Tackle well and out play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbear99 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Atlanta has the defense to keep them in it the question is can they offense put up points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3llR4z0r Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Coach Berry told ETSN that Atlanta had the best defense the Bears had faced. Much respect for that guy. On another note, can any Gladewater fans tell me exactly how big #44 is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineman1988 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If Gilmer plays like they did against sh Atlanta will win. I'm thinking they won't play that awful this next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtheline Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 In Atlanta? Weird things happen. Grass field. This could be Gilmer's trap game. Because of the playoff issues, I want Gilmer to win. But it is almost Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
