heard this after game 1, 2, 3, and 4, and yet STILL no improvement…. i'd argue we have actually regressed, looking at last week's stats and this week's…
The biggest point I'll make towards this is coaching. 3 straight weeks now we've had different guys starting on the OLine. Can't build chemistry there. On offense everything starts with the OLine. Mett was rushed like crazy last night. Losing Faulk hurt more than we thought.

you do realize that you can still be a fan and question the current state of affairs, especially when the product doesn't match the expectations….
There is a difference between questioning the current state of the program. Which at the moment is a Top 5 team. And continually bashing it week in and week out like some people do. It even happened last year when we were #1.

this proves you don't know what you are talking about…. it's not LSU football that is "ruining" people's lives, it's the half assed play from players, the half assed game plans by the coaching staff, and the inevitability of impending adverse outcomes that has a large chunk of the fanbase a little pissed off….
The only true lack of discipline I've seen is in the amount of penalties I've seen. Some of them really shouldn't have been called. But the personal fouls just shows a break down.
Fumbling the football like we have been is not a sign of Les Miles football. And these were the same running backs we had last year.
If the OLine doesn't get things worked out teams will stack the box, blitz to stop the run. And kill Mett when he attempts to pass. Mett with time has shown great things.

we had one different guy…. Josh D…. as in 6th year Senior, former starter, tons of experience Josh D…. sure he was "out of position", but who's fault is that? i'm sure he put himself at LT, right?
either way, my point remains… we've heard the whole "we'll get better" speech after each game this season…. and yet we still don't get it in gear and resort to the same excuses…. against good teams, we WILL get our asses whipped, and then what will be the excuse?

we didn't play Florida State, or Bama, or even Arkansas last night…. we played TOWSON…. let me repeat…. TOWSON…. if our offensive line cannont handle a 2 LB blitz with 4 down lineman from vaunted TOWSON, what the ever living frick do you think teams like Florida, S. Carolina, and Bama or going to do to our offensive line??? you can keep with the excuses, but really there is none….

let me clue you in, since you obviously don't have one…. it's going to continue to happen!! and guess what, chief, this ain't the only fanbase that voices displeasure, despite their team succeeding on the field… and the day it stops is the day i want nothing with this program…. complacency is not a good thing…. they could beat the Super Bowl champs straight up and i want them to continue to strive to get better…. \

excuses… they work wonders don't they…. and what exactly did the PF's show a "break down" of?? teams that play disciplined don't accrue multiple PF's…. they just don't….;

same could be said for 70% of QB's in major college football… you are stating the obvious, but ignoring the elephant in the room…. if the pass rush is getting Mett killed now, what do you think he's about to face??? he plays in the SEC (the Jr. league to the NFL), with the most talented, fastest, and most instinctive defenders around…. yeah, it's not about to get EASIER, and that's why people are concerned….
it's not that people aren't happy we are 5-0… so please, PLEASE stop throwing this stat around like some sort of golden nugget that it ain't…. the truth is this team, as CURRENTLY constructed and performing has done nothing that would lend credence to any hope that we can navigate the rest of the waterway without a few holes in the hull….. and that's the real CONCERN that people are trying to voice….
