They haven’t been electric, got blown out by Pulaski (albeit, on the road), no REAL speed....just thought Ridgeview would win. I’ll take the win, but can I go back and change my pick in the weekly pick’em? Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman 135 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I thought Ridgeview would take this one easily. Oh well, that's why they play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big ugly vol 92 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 On 10/20/2018 at 11:20 AM, Bigtom said: Coaches were NOT prepared for Abingdon. In fact defense hasnt been same since Union game. Trying to get Adkins the ball last 2 games when teams were keying on him. Last week when they FINALLY got Sexton ball he had well ober 100 yds on 11 carries and didnt touch ball until 2nd half. I have tried so very hard not to say this, but here goes. (Censored version) The RV staff has serious issues with play calling. I have deleted about 99% of this post, but could preach on this for days. swva_havok_fan and Bigtom 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stayed off the board since Friday because I just didn't want to talk about it. The folks on Facebook are trying to make the world think we lost because of the BS call on that TD pass where the guy was out of bounds. That's NOT why we lost. We came back from that and actually led by 10 at the end of 3. We did NOT finish and put the game out of reach when we had the opportunity. We did NOT get the ball to our other playmakers. Right now it's as if the the offensive coaches think there's one playmaker on this team, and as good as Adkins is, he simply can't do it all. I just feel so bad for Sexton in all of this. He has to be wondering at this point why he transferred from Eastside. Gridiron60, jarhead24219 and big ugly vol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t wanna cast blame on any one player or anything like that, but do you think Sexton would have fumbled the ball with 6ish minutes to go, allowing Abingdon to get back in it? I don’t think so.

Bigtom 42 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 24 minutes ago, swva_havok_fan said: My thoughts exactly. Not just offence but defense play calling also. Why did it take a wgile half to figure out you had to put 5 down linemen to stop the run. Then got out of the 5 man front just to get gutted again. Yes bad calls were made but should not be in a position to be that close to where refs determine outcome of game. Got OUTPLAYED and OUT COACHED bottom line. jarhead24219 and swva_havok_fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaloSports2 35 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I don't care much for most of those coaches, but they are probably going to be 18-2 in the last two regular seasons and all of sudden they don't know what they are doing? Come on we sound as bad as Union fans wanting to fire Travis and their coaches after 1 loss. I mean I think there should be a different QB to but that wouldn't have made any difference in the game. Sometimes things happen, could we control some of them? Yes but not everything. It was a tough loss but we have to get over it and move on. Go fishing maybe shoot a nice buck calm down and get back after it Friday. chipinbogey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we need to make a change at QB when he is 7-0 in the other games. You are right I did say that. It came out wrong I guess. I think he has done a fine job I'm not taking anything away from him. It shouldn't have been typed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone hates losing but I think Ridgeview will be fine. If Abingdon beats Union this week it will make it sting a little less I hope. Most of us are not on the sideline on Friday nights and really don't know why certain calls are made. I have all the confidence in our coaches and I think they will learn from their mistakes as well. I am with you @HaloSports2 go kill a big deer and get back on track these next 2 weeks and roll into the playoffs firing on all cylinders.

Ridgeview got their wake up call against Battle. Wolfpack wins by 2 TDs, maybe more. The Falcons don't like smash mouth football. Good call! This didn't age well for ya, did it Chief?

Bearcat Dad 439 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 @Widespread_PanicI’m cool with you having your own opinion and what you believe will happen, may end up happening. I’m just curious as to why you think Va High is a bad team. VHS has underperformed this year But they have had a much tougher schedule than anyone in the M7.

Finally I can say it. Keep sleeping on Abingdon. You'll get your feelings hurt. The only thing that the Falcons have done week in and week out has made believers out of people. So keep doubting them. This is a team that is peaking at the best time of the year. Fisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
