Will Later Season = challenge for pass happy teams?

[trumanbulldog42]

I would like to know what you guys think about how the season being later will affect teams that primarily pass the ball.

It's an old adage that defense and running the ball make good post season teams.

I think this might be more true now than ever but want to know your thoughts!

 

[bullitpdq68]

This weekend could be a good example. Going to be wet and really cold. Some teams might be glad they are facing a lower seed team this week.

 

[trumanbulldog42]

Yeah this week should be interesting but I would definitely be more worried about what the weather could be like in late November and December.

That Camdenton vs. Webb potential matchup could be bad for Camdenton with the weather but IDK how much Camdenton's offense will be affected

 

[hangmanbobbyjaggers]

I think it is crazy football goes into December in the first place.

Not only does it ensure that weather will become a factor, it also cuts deeply into Basketball and Wrestling season for any team that advances past the first week or two into the playoffs

Is there anything that says, “I’m a Neanderthal” like using the term “pass happy”.
I prefer “teams not still stuck in the 70s” or
“teams not still playing cave man football”.

For most schools below the class 4 level, having a consistent passing game is tough.

Yea it’s funny that the most successful program in the state that wins 92% of their games lines up and just runs runs runs it down their opponents throats.

Heck I remember them playing some St Louis team in the Dome and ran the ball down their throats for almost 400 yards rushing. Heck their QB ran for 248 yards and them city boys never did figure out how to touch him much less tackle him lol

Yes, and with today's officials, mainly defensive PI. It's some teams' best play.

 

[anon_o1osz027druk9]

Yes with the lack of “seasoned vets” reffing HS football, it’s really hard to have a pass defense. A lot of iffy calls and non calls. Makes it really hard.

Well back in the day I went diving in your local mine a lot,,,couldn’t have been an hour from St Louis,,,,,people in KC claim to be part of the “Metro” when they are that close I figured you folks did to

Don't think it'll make much of a difference. Weather shouldn't affect the good teams.

Love watching some snow games

 

[bullitpdq68]

I think that adage was more valid before everyone had artificial turf.

I don't know Raw, nothing like trying to catch a ball in freezing temps. I think the ball get harder in colder weather. And add that it is wet...

Is it possible to push the start dates back for winter sports?

 

[J. Kane]

Is it possible to push the start dates back for winter sports?

 

[hangmanbobbyjaggers]

I say go back to 8 regular season games, start play-offs week 9, Week 10 is the 2 lowest seeded teams and two highest seeded teams (higher number gets home game) that lost districts play each other and district winners face each other in the semi-finals. That way you are already 2 weeks into play-offs at that point and season will not be so long for players.

Calpreps doesn't have it factored into their predictions so I doubt it matters much.

Is CALPREPS based out of California? They might be a little misconstrued with the weather if so.

winter sports last waaaaay too long. Push the dates back but keep the same finish dates.

I would agree with you 100% if mistrued was an actual word.

Or just push basketball season back a little bit. Why do they NEED 25 games?

Spoken like a true football fan sir lol

 

[trumanbulldog42]

not as of right now. I'm not sure that they are planning on doing it either. Basketball starts Monday and half the teams in the state will still be playing football. Crazy stuff if you ask me

are there farms in WC?

Not any in town that I know of. I had to feed cattle before going to game tonight

Does California even have a winter?

 

[VALLEYWILLROLL]

Why play one game a week for 15 weeks, start one week before school begins, that is still part of the summer, and have some teams finish two weeks before Christmas. All for a sport that is losing more and more 11 man teams every year. And you say winter sports is too long?

Can you say Donner Party? It wasn’t a keger!

You can cut 5 games off basketball season and no one would even notice.

It takes so long because you CAN'T safely play more than one game a week...unlike basketball.

Want to keep a 25 game season? Fine, play 3 games a week.
