to the original poster-
Pretty sure we're all frustrated with our offensive problems. We don't look like the team we thought we'd see.

Miles "stubborn":
well, Mett has shown the tendency to throw picks in the redzone, trying to force things. Mett has shown a lack of awareness re the blitz, and has fumbled a few times because he isn't securing the ball while scrambling. He's got a decent completion percentage, but still has missed badly on some wide-open guys.
Our receivers have not been able to get open a bunch. When they do and the ball is on target, they've dropped quite a few. Beckham, our best receiver, has also fumbled a couple times in trying to make the big play.
Our offensive line is injury-depleted, and not very impressive currently, at all.

Miles knows this as well as we do. He also knows he has a defense that is stout. He knows he has plenty of talented running backs. He knows if we can limit the mistakes, and not fall way behind, we might be able to wear the other team down late and win.

And yet, you want him to unleash that passing attack, or you'll boo? Run-heavy game plan and we're in a low scoring game most likely. Lots of passing, based on what we've seen, and somebody might have 30 points at the half. And it probably won't be us.

Dont waste your time being logical to these fricking toolbags. They never liked miles and this is their chance. Any sane person knows we don't have the personnel to air the ball out given all the injuries.

It's gameday and has been a week since Florida. And these tards are still bitching like they're high school girls.

Get the frick over it and let's show the team some love. They don't deserve for the fanbase to turn on them after the great run they've given us over the years

I see you carry the Miles playbook around: a pussy's approach to football.

I want to see LSU come out fighting with all of their weapons and on both sides of the ball. Whatever the risk!

Mett's current deficiencies are Miles' responsibility. Miles chose to keep Mett riding the pine last season, basically wasting a year of eligibility while not developing him at that time for this season. This is a glaring example of the coach's lack of foresight.

This is the issue in a nutshell. We expected last years team with a better offense. We def expected a team that plays angry with a chip, bc that's how we fans feel after 1/9.

Yes, Miles is stubborn. There are at least a couple of other QBs resting on the bench, who if given a chance to show their stuff, might provide the missing piece of this year's LSU offensive puzzle. But *CLM stubbornly left JJ in on 1/9 for a game he clearly was losing. And he stubbornly did not/ does not put in either Rivers or Bolden for any gametime reps. Especially when Mett is having a hard time moving the team.
