Eagleborn Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 And we’ve played a few different teams twice in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases I would definitely agree but we were so vanilla against Winny when we met. DJ was still at QB. Robbie wasn’t playing much reciever, so we were just line up and run at ya.

blesseddaily Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Without a doubt this one is going to be a tough one for Winny to win. On "paper" it shouldn't be close but I'm betting it will be. If Winny can keep the clock eating running attack going and not turn the ball over it will be close...if not it could be a lop sided win for Gladewater. I have lots of faith in Coach Finney and his staff and if there is a way to win he will figure it out. I'm taking Winny by a touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW can’t let Winny have 8-9 minute drives that end with a TD. I feel like we will load the box and then let our corners man up. We cannot start slow and we can’t turn the ball over like we did at the beginning of the Van Alstyne game. One thing I know is that Winny will play hard from beginning to end so we will have to match that same intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I know is that Winny will play hard from beginning to end so we will have to match that same intensity. I have this as a 2 point game. I think it will be trench warfare for four quarters. After the game there will be some key plays to look back on - an untimely turnover, a two point conversion, a fake punt, an onside kick, a big fourth down stop, an injury or a big penalty. I like the Raiders to prevail but either team can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyman Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Could the weather be a factor in this game? Not real sure who it would favor more since GW can run the ball very well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike past years we can pass the ball this year. If the weather keeps us from passing we will be more predictable. Since Winnsboro never throws the ball I don’t see the weather really affecting them with the exception of holding onto the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously ball security would be at a premium in those conditions. Will be interesting to keep an eye on that forecast throughout the week to see if it changes any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWBears01 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It’s going to be a long week waiting for Friday. Can we just skip Thanksgiving and play sooner ? It’s a shame that after this game D8 will be down to one team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyman Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 I think the most intriguing matchup will be the Raiders offense vs. the Bears defense. Despite throwing 2 interceptions I would make an argument that GW has been the only team all year that has held Winnys offense in check for the most part especially from a points standpoint. With that said, we have expanded the attack with more plays and a little different personnel from that first game. I also see just a better understanding and a better execution of the offense over the last several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll see #8 and #12 both on defense which wasn’t the case earlier in the year. We did lose a good linebacker against Hughes Springs so I don’t know the effect of that get since VA didn’t put up much of a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will look at final score of VA game and think man, GW gave up some points BUT literally the backup defense was in with 10 min left in the third when GW was up 51-7. I think the single most important part of this game is ball security by GW. Yeah it didnt hurt us vs VA cuz we were far superior in terms of talent but it will hurt us if we keep putting the dad gum ball on the turf! I would play one on one on outside and load up the box vs Winny. WE HAVE to set the edge though, we got ran on by not setting the edge vs VA a few times.

Its definitely going to be strength on strength when Winny has the ball. Staying ahead of the chains will be key this time around for the Raiders cause in that first game it was almost inevitable that something bad was going to happen if we went backwards. Played a big role in that outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
