Final.

Good ball game tonight, but the Falcons came up a little short. My hats off to Franklin-Simpson. Their boys played some tough football and ran the wing "T" to perfection. I will say that something happened tonight that I have never seen before, FS kicked off a low line drive bouncing off the heel of our front man turning to block, the ball goes back to FS in the air and he catches it!!! It was almost unbelieveable.

If it could go right for a football team it did for FS...not taking away anything from their victory, because they had no turnovers at all. Alls I can say I am glad we have a bi-week to get healthy and rest, the boys are beat up!!!

 

Go Falcons, I still Love ya!!!!:ylsuper::clap:

Franklin Simpson played well and exposed us with the wing-t, the first half FS searched their playbook in search of something that would be effective against our defense, it was clear what the answer to that was, the Wing-T. The second half they came out and ran nothing but the Wing-T and scored 21 points in the third qtr. Finally in the fourth qtr we made adjustments on defense and started to stop FS's momentum and cut the lead to 7 and had the ball with about 1:30 left on the clock, but the drive ended with a Monroe interception. Long story short, the adjustment on defense was too little too late, down 21 with one qtr to play was just too big a mountain to climb.

The other side of the story is, I seen this Monroe team get better right before my eyes tonight, they could have given up down 21, but they chose to fight and that’s what they did. I think the Falcons had 3 turnovers and FS recovered 2 onside kicks as well, so with all things considered I'm not going to get too down over this loss, sure adjustment could have been made sooner, tackling could have been better and we could have played smarter but what I seen in the fourth qtr was very promising and I think it's a good sign of what we can expect in the last three games.

Congrats to FS and good luck the rest of the season...

Monroe showed tonight that they have the heart to be a good team. Too many turnovers and breakdowns on special teams for us to beat a team as good as FS. Hats off to FS they ran WingT and Double Wing real well with the backs they have who are all good players. Feel god about Falcons for next two games. GO Falcons beat Glasgow.

I agree… Once we made the adjustments and crowded the box we did real well against the run. IMO we won’t face another team this year with as many weapons in the backfield as FS had. All things considered I'm quite pleased with a lot of things from last night, the most impressive was the heart they showed…

Go Roe beat Glasgow!
