I have heard almost universally positive comments about our team except ...

I've heard positive comments from several ESPN shows and podcasts and on College Sports on Sirius. Anecdotally, I have had positive reactions to LSU's performance from the A&M and Arkansas fans and even the Bama fan I work with.
People thought it was a great game between two top ten teams. Everyone believes we still have a legit shot to run the table and make it to Atlanta. Except our own fan base.
I'm not trying to blow any sunshine up anyone's arse. The defense looked terrible and we're going to have a lot of shootouts this year. But from the reactions of our own fans you would think LSU should just forfeit the rest of the season.
I guess the catastrophe syndrome is true.

I was sick watching that defense out there. That isn't an LSU defense.

We have a lot of miserable pussies in our fan base. The same douches that hated Mett last year and said how bad he sucked and that our offense would never change are the same dildos saying Mett should win the Heisman this year.

Most knew once we got Cam that the offense was gonna be great. Everyone knew mett had the talent to be where he is this year

It was an objectively great game. LSU has nothing to be ashamed of. We won't always have a top defense. Deal with it.

Because everyone is tired of watching our rivals dominate college football and we are in the background playing in the chicken not wanting to be there. What is so hard to figure out.

That was definitely not the mentality of most of the posters on this site.

Let's see just two years ago we go undefeated in the SEC and win the Conference and play (altho poorly) in the MNC game and our Coach was voted the Coach of the Year by at least 4 different groups. I hardly call that domination by our rivals. In 2011, we beat Bama on their field with a problem O and a great D. Now, we have the reverse...as do many SEC teams this year. I think your comment is inaccurate and indicative of those LSU fans who grumble at anything less than perfection. You must be a young guy who wasn't around when LSU was not an elite team...those were painful years, indeed!

You sure about that?
There are thousands of people who use this site yet some think its a hive-mind or something.

Completly agree
The UGA loss and Clemson loss was like winning the NCG for them. Its flattering that everyone wants to beat LSU that bad and our fan base expects us to win every game. Granted defense was up to the usual par but you can't win them all. I would MUCH rather a September slip up to UGA than losing to Bama in November in any way, shape or form.

Which is why most of the people on the rant are so easy to ignore. LSU and Mett will get alot of love for that loss and as UGA continues to win on (they're schedule is about to get REALLY easy), it only adds to LSU's resume.
The defense will get better because it's not just a talent issue.
If this team rolls into T-Town with UGA as the only loss (and they will be favored in their next four), they'll be back in or near the top 5 with a chance to play themselves back into contention.

If you need to look at how green somebody else's grass is, that's your problem.

This is the exact same way I look at the situation as well. The defense will improve (maybe not a lot but it will get better). We are very much in the running and can compete with anyone.
The fanbase will be pumped up again by the time we are rolling into T-Town and a chance to take control of the West.

Same here in Austin but not being in La.I heard it on national sport-talk carried all over the country.Call me a purple/gold sunshine pusher,but as a LSU fan I'm about our glass half full not half empty.
I started following our Tiger in 1957 at the age of 7.When in Death Valley if by the end of the 1st QT.I can hardly talk from screaming I am just "doing my job."
Yeah @ 63 I'm an old fart.I have to laugh at this age of twitter,critter,crackberry,and how tech has given ALL a voice and platform to speak as know-it-alls.I don't profess to be a coach or informed expert on college football.
LSU put 11 out of 11 players(mostly defensive)on NFL teams last year.
Personally I would not trade John Chavis,The Chief for any other DC in college football.IMO what the guys playing D on our team need is some time and experience to mesh into a defence that makes few mistakes and plays to their true talent level.We are fortunate this year we finally have an offence that can stay on the field and score.Our OC Cam and Mett and whole offensive team buys us that time.
IMO Georgia was the best offensive team we will meet all season.Bama is very beatable I don't care if we play them on the moon.aTm and Johnny Football we beat them last year in their own house...Welcome to Death Valley Johnny! Florida,lost their starting QB and best Dlineman.Mush-mouth could not score TDs if you gave him Paton Manning...Oh and we get the Gators in Baton Rouge.Ole Piss just got exposed last w/end.So what if we are playing in that little band-box in Oxford.
Ok I've run on long enough...take your shots negators I'm too old and I don't give a rip!
GEAUX TIGERS !

Re: Ga vs LSU 2013. Was Georgia's defense terrible too? I guess Georgia sucked at defense too.
Re: SECchamp game 2012: Was Alabama's defense terrible in the SECchamp game last year? Was Georgia's? Same type of game... so I guess Alabama's defense AND Georgia's defense both sucked.

Nope, your problem is you don't know shite about football or defense. LSU did NOT play "prevent" against Alabama.
Some people never played football...or just repeat whatever spur of the moment platitude comes out of Gary Danialson's or Verne's mouth.

Offense is sexy, this just further proves it.
Neutral observers see a back and forth high scoring game that any team could've won.
We see a porous defense unseen at LSU in years and the possibility of having to outscore opponents for the rest of the season, which is an uncomfortable feeling for LSU fans.
The media likes offense, and we'll get much more positive press this year because of it, even though our team is in a similar position as in years past.

The black helicopter crew were definitely loud and proud. I suspect if the D woes continue, the 'Why is Les Miles taking control from Chavis?' chant will begin. A sad lot.
