My take on it is, any offense that loses its best Olineman +two more Olineman and starting rb is gonna struggle. Miles' offenses haven't always struggled. He ha coached, 4/5 of the top 5 offenses in LSU history, but I bet he will get zero credit for that. He only gets criticism, not credit. Just like last year he wasn't getting much credit for stomping the SEC , pac12 champ, and big east champ. Les isn't perfect, he definitely has problems with the offense but of you aren't gonna give him credit, don't criticize. Miles has kept LSU as a top 5 program.

Yes, but what I wrote wasn't about the offense struggling. It was about what offensive strategy is being utilized. Like Roger said just a second ago, when inexperienced backup linemen are utilized like the starters are then they are being put in a position to fail.

First post here. Long time lurker.

I think it's perfectly fine and healthy to critique after wins and losses. Where it goes wrong is when people go beyond just venting after a loss and it turns into Les Miles bashing.

You can never blame a loss on one thing. Yes, Les Miles' adjustments could've been better, but we were dealing with multiple injuries. The reality is your offense becomes more simplistic with injuries, because you're dealing with players that don't have the repetitions that the starters have. Talented teams, great coaches can take advantage of that.

Nothing has gone according to plan this year, it's been all bad since the national championship game, I believe the easy thing to do is pile on. This is when the team needs fans' support the most. There's no reason to believe that Miles and the coaching staff can't regroup and make a better run at this next year.
