Salem at GW

[southbottomU]

Will GW finally break thru?
Cold wet Forcast. How will that effect game?
Can Salem defense keep Salem in the game?
Can GW handle Salem power running game?

I can see either team winning this game really. The GW running game definitely poses a threat to the Salem defense. With Cabell being a dual threat qb that worries me with the Spartan defense. It’ll be cold for sure. I don’t think the cold will have much of a factor on the run game. It could with the passing game as I know the cold can make the ball a little more difficult to catch at times. If the Salem defense can watch the film from the Handley game and see how the Judges exposed them and work really hard to get that fixed I think they can keep them in the game. If not, Salem will need to jump on them quick and not fall behind early. It’s better for this Salem team to take the lead first and be in a shootout that way then falling behind quick and having to fight back being a step behind. Personally, I don’t think the Salem defense will do well with the GW offense early on and going into the half. If the GW line starts to get worn out in the second half I could see the Salem defense having success. I do think the GW defense can handle the Salem running game. However, if the GW defensive front gets tired in the second half like the Handley defensive front did, Salem could very well take over in the second half and salt it away. I look for the Eagles to do their homework and see the success Handley had on the ground last night and try to come up with a similar game plan. I wish just as much success for the Salem football team as much as every other Salem fan does on this board. However, as much as I want to give this team credit when they do well I think there is also times to be critical with ones sports teams. I think GW pulls this one out, 38-34. Last night worried me a lot and just doesn’t have me feeling good about this game. Like I said I love this football team as much as the others do, I just call things like I see it. I just want to give my honest opinion and I hope that it’s respected on this board. Love you all. I hope you all don’t feel like I’m trying to sell these boys short it’s just how I see things at this point in the season.

Hey MrSalem1000, now is an appropriate time to ask about the parking in Danville

😂 that’s right

 

[MrSalem1000]

I’m wondering what day the game is. I’ve seen a source that says Saturday and one that says Friday so I’m really not sure

When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep

@MrSalem1000, haven’t been to a Danville home game in a long time but I’ve drove by to see the progress when I come home. I know they’ve done a lot of renovations but there used to be parking behind the visitor bleachers. They’ve constructed a brand new parking lot on the opposite side of the new gym they’re building. GW has a very very nice athletic facility and plenty of parking.

Also, @Chuck Vipperman (GW) can we please make sure we have a comfortable spot for our brother @mike salem if he’s making the trip down. Hope he gets to make the trip, should be a heck of a football game this year.

Ok thanks man. I appreciate it!

 

[MrSalem1000]

Hope Mike is able to make it as well

 

[Phoebus Fan]

Will this game be on NFHS?

 

[mike salem]

My buddy and I are planning to make the trip.

My buddy and I are planning to make the trip.

Mike @BoKnowsSports already gave @Chuck Vipperman (GW) a heads up. Given all the construction and such hopefully he can give you some local knowledge or help in navigating as J.T. Christopher used to have accessibility challenges and I am not sure on the present set up given the aforementioned construction. Safe travels and good luck to both teams for a well played and entertaining game.

They have built a new accessible walk way and seating area to the right of the home side coming out of the new parking lot

Salem's offense will be under pressure to score on every possession. Don't see that happening. Salem's defense may get one or two stops. If they can manage to get four or five stops, they have a chance.
GW has been wanting to knock off Salem for last several years. I believe this will be their best chance to make it happen.

Several years for sure. Maybe even a decade +!

All GW has to do is run to the side where #7 lines up. If I was there coach I would audible every play and run toward that side. They will score every session.

Not cool to say things like this, Kilroy25

I predicted 2 months ago that Salem would go 8-2 and win their first playoff game and then lose the second playoff game. I am hoping that I am wrong and everyone can come on here and criticize my prediction . Salems offense will give them a chance to win the game, but eventually you have to make some stops. This game, by far, is GW's best chance to beat Salem.

Nothing like yet another week of hand wringing and Chicken Little-ing from grown men whose best days are so far behind them even home movies wouldn't jog their memories. What a fanbase.

No hand wringing going on. Making honest observations. I thought thats what this board was all about. Somehow that seems to bother you. Strange.
As to our best days being behind us ( maybe your comment was directed to just me) I guess you would have to define best days. I had a great day yesterday and plan on having another tomorrow.

Hey old pal, where you been?

Well I guess the powers that be didn’t like me telling you what you could do with yourself?? Who would a thunk?? I’ve missed you, crushblock, and touchdown Tony!!!🤔

 

[MaroonDude]

Kilroy was NOT here.

You speak in expressions that I’m too stupid to really understand what you’re even saying. Could you put your seemingly insulting opinion in more clear terms for my pea, CTE ridden brain?

 

[Kilroy25]

Kilroy was NOT here.

As long as YOU’RE here, the other 2 are as well!!

 

[1MoreHokie]

Apparently the difference in the sky falling for Salem but not GW is 7 points. Who knew? The arbitrary nature of fans continues to amaze.

I'll do my best, but there's barely room in the press box for me and my color guy. Combined, we weigh about 700 pounds.

Damn right!

Region D is charging me $500 to livestream each playoff game. They *really* want people to utilize NFHS. So yes...more listeners means I can help recoup these fairly staggering rights costs.
