was watching the game at a sports bar in Metairie. Mett threw a long pass (about 40 yards) for a td, and this idiot complained that Boone? had to wait on the ball.

Said that against Bama, that won't work. Some people can never ever be happy.

Completely agree.


Some "fans" think they know more than the actual coaches. It's pretty sad.


Mett won't throw downfield. So we throw downfield.

Mett throws for almost 200 yards. "Yea, well he should've thrown for 300."

We have over 400 yards total offense. "Yeah, well it should've been 700."

I really don't get these dumb fans that live in some other universe.

I don't see that as negative. He may have a point, Bama's D is unbelievable. I didn't see the play, so I cannot comment if he is correct or not.

He didn't have to wait on the ball at all. Boone turned around and it was right there to be caught.

Rednecks who think they know everything about football are unbearable to listen to. You find them with almost any southern team, LSU has an abundance of them and it is like nails on a chalk board listening to them talk.

Boone was so open that the SMART thing to do was to throw it exactly as Mettenberger did. He left little room for error. It INCREASED Boone's chances of catching it.

Mett looks really good. It's fun having a QB again.

Some fail to remember that it's LSU who owns the most wins among BCS schools since 2005 and not Bama, that it's LSU who owns the most SEC wins since 2005 and not Bama, and it's LSU who owns the 5-3 record vs. Bama since 05 and not Bama.

Not saying they not damn good, but this fear/worry or whatever over Bama is way over board based on results of of late.

Exactly!

Why risk an overthrow when the defender was nowhere near Boone. Worst case scenario, if the ball is well under-thrown, the DB tackles Boone and they start within the 5. At no point was it going to be a non-catch (unless for a revisit of the early butterfingers by the WR-collective)

Bama's weakness on defense is there pass defense. If D. Robinson can throw on them I am sure that Mett can.

I had no problem with the pass. Thought it was a good play. The only issue I had with our last game was out FBs missing blocks.

My uncle is an ultimate negatiger too. While watching the game I told my brother to watch when we get back to the tailgate, he's gonna have something negative to say even after this arse kicking.
I hadn't even had a burger completely fixed after the game before he says "they keep making mistakes like that they will lose 2 or 3 games this year."

No. The play wasnt designed to Boone, he was the 2nd or 3rd option. All of a sudden Mett sees him standing 15 yards behind everyone so he just threw it to him. I believe Boone was facing Mett waiting before the ball was ever thrown. It was the correct throw, and no problems.

I understand your point, and agree. There are those amoung us that proclaim to be fans, but complain at every opportunity, if there is no oppotunity.. they will create one. What baffles me is people still bitch about the NC (which was horrible), and seem to forget the undefeated, perfect SEC Champ. season that got us there!

..and that's why he was sitting in a sports bar rather than on the sideline coaching.

Actually it would have.. Alabama's Defense has been suspect in the passing game the past couple years against us.

2010- JJ fired to Randle on the long TD pass
2011- JJ fired to Shep on what should have been a TD.
2012- Many guys were open downfield but JJ wouldn't release it.

Nice


In a situation when the receiver is wide open, the one thing most QB's will tell you is "just get it to him". Like the Devery TD against the Patriots in '09. It might have looked prettier if Drew would have hit him in stride, but all he cared about was getting him the ball.
