I know the goal is to win football games. They can be pretty sometimes and ugly sometimes. But the game I saw them play this year versus Riverside was BY FAR the worst game I have ever seen Mentor play. That was a bad game to me. No disrespect intended because they won. But if you were there you have to admit that was some bad football by Mentor. (IMHO). At least they have regrouped and clearly put themselves in a position to make some playoff noise.
I think Eds is clearly better than both but yes I think Medina is a tier above Mentor. Their defense sucks but the offense is electric. I wouldn't call ours that even though Snow has improved it Medina won't win vs competent defensive teams but we aren't that.
How exciting....
The Riverside game was a low point if Mentor offense, absolutely. The only saving grace was that the defense stepped up and played so well. I understand that Riverside isn’t Medina on offense, but they are scoring a bunch of points this season.
Strongsville is young and not good. Don’t feel too good about this win.
Medina’s offense is good. Mentor made them look better than they were. Bottom line is in that game their defense scored a TD when the ball was dropped at the feet of a d-lineman and if not for that it was a one score game. If you look at the stats of that game you would have to say that Mentors offense is electric too because Fox threw for more yards, Mentor had more total yards on offense, they rushed for more yards and Fox threw less interceptions than that kid. As I said earlier, Mentors offense statistically was as good or better. They just didn’t have 5 plays that went for 50 yards plus because as bad as Medinas defense is it’s still not coached by Funk, so maybe they didn’t have that “electric” feel. If Scotty takes care of the ball they can sore with or out score Medina. Medina has no answer for Snow and when they double and triple him Stapleton will be wide open like he was often in the first match up and pretty much every week since Snow moved to offense. I’m at every game, they literally have 3 guys following snow while whatever receiver that’s on his side is running around unattended to.
I've seen multiple games of Medina and I've seen Mentor live all but one game. And saw that on YouTube after. I don't put them at medinas level for offense
You mentioned that you've seen every game which is why I brought that up. Doesn't mean much when you are talking to a guy that goes to every game and doesn't just check in for one or two years.
Lol. Now you know how many Mentor games I’ve seen or been to?? You seem as tho you just like to argue. You have no clue how many games I e been to. I’ve been watching and following Mentor for many years. You think Medina is amazing and that’s great. I think they’re good and will get beat by mentor and obliterated by a great team. Great or “electric” offenses don’t get stomped out by good teams. There’s a kid playing at Penn St that played QB at Medina last year, look what Ed’s did to them last year. He’ll look what Mentor did to him his Junior year in the playoffs. That kid that’s throwing the ball 70 times a game against average to below average defenses is not gonna make anyone forget Allar. Medina will do exactly what Mentor is going to do which is beat everyone in the playoffs until they play a real defense.
Again....you were the one who brought up being to every game as if it makes your opinion matter more. You are talking on the Mentor thread. I'm sure most people have seen every game this season.
I applied then. I got the impression you thought Medinas offense was amazing. If you’re simply saying they’re good then I agree. I personally think Mentors offense is equal, that’s all I’m saying.
*I apologize
I’ll also throw this out then I’m gonna tap out. Outside of Avon (who Medina beat by a couple points) the other 7 teams they have played not named mentor have a combine total of 15 wins and one of them had 5 so essentially they have beat up on a bunch of 1-3 win teams.
They beat us head to head by 14
Medinas receivers are very good. I’ll give you that. I just tend to think they kinda got fat on crappy teams. I personally believe Mentors defense is a little better tho. Not much but a little.
I agree. I’m not saying we’re all that great. I’m just saying I think we’re very equal to Medina and if they played again I think it would be a very good game. I actually hope that happens but if things stay the same Medina would have to beat Ed’s to see mentor in the playoffs…. And I think we all agree that’s not happening.
If Medina beats Solon they'll jump us to 2
Never said we played a stacked schedule. I’m not even sure where you got that. Because I simply pointed out that Medina has played garbage all year??? Take a breath dude. We have both played trash teams. My argument for the 15th time is simply that I don’t believe Medina is much if any better than Mentor. That’s it. And Medina has done nothing in my opinion to prove they’re much better including beating us at their place. You keep saying they won by 14 but if you were there or watched it on YouTube surely you could figure out that the game was a lot closer than the score indicated.
I'm breathing just fine man. You have said you are done a couple times now. Best to just say I don't agree with you
Actually said I was done once but you continue to insinuate that I’m implying something that I’m not. I’ll make it as clear as I possibly can one more time then I am done.
The first round is exhibition for top region 1 schools. We are talking overall path
cardz did say could play Ignatius first but he wasn't talking first round. He was talking potential path before getting to Medina talking about round 2
Gotcha
I’m not sure how the points work….. would beating a D-2 6 win Solon team be enough to jump them back to 2? Does it matter what the score is or would they just need to beat them?
