As long as Miles lets Mett do his thing I don't think LSU gets touched.

Why would you bump this?

because i felt like it after that lackluster performance last night.....i mean no doubt performances have no play in results over the long term right? You are not the least bit concerned? really?

Not too mention maybe, JUST MAYBE I know this poster personally? Maybe a fun jab at him?

was hoping that the poor offensive showing against Auburn was because it was a road game and Auburn always plays us tough.

What about being @ Florida and they always play us tough? (And Florida is a much better football team than Auburn is right now...)

I hate to keep harping on this but we lost to Florida in 2003, 19-7 - and it wasn't even, really, that close.

At some point if we are going to make a move, we will have to show some kind of offensive pulse. 3 games in a row playing offense like that isn't an anomaly, it is a trend. If the defense gives us the ball on the five fricking yard, we need to score a TD.
Not saying that we are dead in the water, but we are running out of wiggle room quickly.

While I don't necessarily disagree with any of this sentiment, the assumption seems to be that because things haven't gotten better (CLEARLY the staff has tried various, different things), they CANNOT get better and I simply cannot subscribe to that.

Honest, genuine question here: Tell me more about what they have tried.

When was the last time you remember 3 straight plays in the shotgun, unless it was a 2-minute warning situation?

The fullback carries this year? (And they were effective early...)

The one receiver pattern on a touchdown to OBJ (to provide maximum protection)?

We trying to pass alot, at least early. We called 29 passes versus 25 runs against Florida. When is the last game under Miles when that happened?

I didn't say it all worked, but new wrinkles have clearly been inserted, especially in the passing game. I'm a Miles defender as well as a positiger, generally. I'm not an idiot and there are clearly fundamental problems which require work - receivers allowing passes to hit them in the hands is not new - that plagued both Lee and Jefferson for 4 years. Personal fouls (although 1 was a complete BS flop that got called against, I think Muncie, @ Florida) can be coached and are, relatively speaking, avoidable (I'm not talking about the ticky-tack stuff on the sidelines that always seem to get called on us, but rarely on the other team, but the senseless late hits, jawjacking, excessive celebration, etc.)

I'm not going to say everything is sunshine and rainbows, but the reversals by many (including yourself) as well as the return of the irrational, anti-Miles, agenda-having negatigers (and I'm not accusing you of being in that number), is unwarranted, or at the very least, premature.

It is one football game right now. We've lost football games before and, SHOCKING NEWS ALERT, LSU will lose more football games in the future, regardless of the coach.
