gd. Do you always try to outdo yourself on looking like a total idiot? Seriously dude....always so ignorant on here, it's as if you really aren't an LSU fan and just try to see how negative you can be.

I don't think LSU right now is the best team in the SEC only because they have too many questions right now and haven't played anyone great

---

LMAO. LSU has played two preseason top 25 teams, out of their TWO games played so far this season. Let's hear about all of these QUESTIONS that you say LSU has.

quote:

---

I still think Ole MIss is the best until LSU can show they can beat the best teams in the SEC.

---

So let me get this straight...Ole Miss has played a glorified high school team, a jr. college team, and a vastly overrated Alabama team who lacks a qb and a secondary.....yet you talk about how LSU hasn't played anyone and naturally Ole Miss has beat the best SEC team....LMMFAO. Ole Miss went into T town and escaped with a one score victory, despite their opponent offering up FIVE interceptions, and despite having a FLUKE play on offense that could have just as easily resulted in a pick 6. OM has a TON of questions on their OL, and despite what you say and think, "swag" was not overly impressive and will cost OM more than once this year.

You are either one of the following: A complete troll on this board, or a kid that has absolutely no clue what he is talking about. There is no other option.....one of the two. I'm thinking it was the latter.

SU's run defense is definitely solid. Not "3rd in the nation" good, but it's a young, talented, but not particularly deep front 7.

---

I'm sorry, it is solid against the sisters of the poor. I hope (apparently you don't quite completely understand) that you realize that you aren't playing the sisters of the poor. Sure you can out talent very weak teams.....but you are going up against the best OL that you have faced in many years.

I suspect LSU won't run wild over Syracuse, but that's only because I expect them to shift their focus to getting BH some passing attempts. If LSU had the gameplan they ran last week.....LSU would put up minimum 400 yards rushing on Syracuse.

I think that this is a rare team who has the talent to back up their confidence, similar to the '11 team. I think a lot of people forget that the leaders on this team now went through a lot of struggles last year and grew so much by the end of it. The same team that got destroyed by state last year would not have taken bama to ot or beat ole piss. Our leaders like Fournette Harris Malachi Adams beckwith godchaux etc were really young and since then have really grown and meshed as a unit... I wouldn't take any other team over ours. The only negative I really see at this point would be possible injuries but let's pray we don't get to that

why oh why


Miles said they are doing everything to not allow this.

why look for a negative.. enjoy the ride.. like you did in 2011. this is a great team

I guarantee you Bama is a better opponent this season than MSU and Auburn combined even at the overrated status. Ole Miss has a good defense and their QB is very solid. They went into Bama's home and beat them which is not easy to do regardless how you do it.

You're a moron if you can't see that. Auburn has no business being ranked in the top 25 and anyone that's not wearing P&G glasses can see that. They went ranked from #6 to like #18 without losing because they're so horrible. MSU is not talented outside Dak Prescott. Totally different team than last year.

Nice objective post and no counter arguments at all. Keep throwing insults out like you actually proved something. I already told you what the questions are. Brandon Harris hasn't proved he can throw the ball consistently if the run game is shutdown on LSU yet and defense hasn't really played a great offense. They got hammered by MSU in the second half and Auburn's entire team is bad right now.

Someone at some point will have a great defense that's capable of shutting LF down and they'll make BH win the game. Mississippi State doesn't have an excellent defense but they did a good job shutting him down in the 4th and they almost came back to win the game because of it.

bama almost lost to a bad LSU team late in the season, still went on to win the sec. I really hate our fans. Never seen a fanbase descredit wins like this one.

If they play out the season as they did against Auburn, then its got the potential to be a special year. If they play out the season the way they did the second half against State, then we might run into some issues.

---

Look, we played phenomenally against Auburn and with extreme intensity. But there's just no way to maintain that intensity level week after week.

It just isn't possible. There are emotional ebbs and flows to a season. We'll get sky high for Bama and maybe a couple more games, but it's just not possible for a team to be sky high for all 12 weeks.

We'll be emotionally flat as a pancake this week against Syracuse. We all feel it as fans, and you know the team feels it as well. I still think we'll win because we're ore talented, but I predict it will be closer than we want it to be.

Now that being said, truly great teams are able to at least summon enough energy and intensity and rely on their superior talent to win games when their energy level is low.

This is one of those weeks.

Yes. It's a potential problem.
But I really believe this team has a lot more internal motivation and leadership than it has in recent years.
Beckwith, Adams, Fournette, Harris, and even guys that don't play all that much like Ed Paris are vocal leaders on this team.
This group seems willing to fight for wins instead of expecting them to be handed over.
I think that this game will actually be a decent barometer of our season. If they come out with fire and put this away quick, I think we'll know some more about the heart of this team.

---

I agree. This team has confidence that we've been missing since 2011-2012.

Is overconfidence a potential problem?

Yes. It's on a nearly infinite list that also includes remora, dysentery, Taco Bell sauce packets, and vape shops.

This is lost on a lot of idiots. The two wins we've had were great in terms of getting us rolling in the right direction and creating chemistry and confidence.
But looking at our two opponents in the light of day (without P/G glasses) reveals that neither was very good, thus the fact that neither is currently in the AP Top 25.

So we go back and visit on old but reliable problem.....will Miles put his foot on the neck of SU early and crush their will to compete...or let them hang around making the game closer than need be. I'm thinking maybe this time...the former. They can't stop Buga no matter what kind of bone-headed shite is going on on the sidelines.....end of story.
