Overall just very disappointed with the lack of creativity on offense

Not a Nega tiger. Just because you yell at your kids doesn't mean you hate them. Florida went out and made a great hire at offensive coordinator. They have a lot of different looks offensively. The San Fran 49ers same idea. Our offense is so plain and predictable. We have lost all imagination on our personnel groupings and play calls. Listen if a 7 year old knows what your running 80 percent of the time,
So does the other teams staff.
I can't remember a single play this year where I said, "wow brilliant play call!" How about a halfback pass, a flee flicker, a hook and latter, a Statue of Liberty? I have no
problem loosing a game but go down swinging. Throw everything you got at them. For gods sake loom at what other teams are doing. After all what your doing is entertainment isn't it? I would honestly rather watch old people frick than Lsu's offense this season!

Then you clearly either don't watch the games or you know nothing about football and want every single play to be an 80 yard TD pass.

if you haven't noticed offensive improvement over the last 4 games then i can't really help you. Mett was outstanding (as far as what we had become accustomed to over the past 3 years) over that stretch. I'm excited about next year with all that we have returning. Mett, Landry, Beckham, Hill, Blue, Hilliard, an exp line (with Faulk back). We have some pieces I hope we can hold on to on defense, but I think we should be favored to win the west imo.
Enough with the critiquing of the offense. That was clearly better over the past 4 games.

Ware toss to Ford against A&M.
TD pass to the TE in the slot against Bama that was called back bc "Hill wasn't set".

These aren't brilliant play calls, these are trick plays.

So to illustrate ur point that we need more offensive creativity, u chose one of the sec teams w a worse offense than lsu?

Golf pro has an excellent point. At what point and time will Les Miles realize that he can't use Running Back A to run the ball inside, Running Back B to run the ball outside, Formation A to run the football, Formation B to pass the ball.
Last year, LSU was just so absurdly better than everybody that we did whatever we wanted and they couldn't stop us. Every other year since 2009 we run into a brick wall because other teams know based off our personnel and formation exactly what we are going to do.
If y'all really what to know what the biggest reason for our passing game success over the last 4 games was, it was that we actually started running more routes. It doesn't take much film work for a good defense to figure out that starting with Auburn and ending with South Carolina, LSU's passing game consisted of about 3 routes. Quick slants, 10 yard outs, and the occasional sluggo. I do realize that the receivers catching the ball actually helped out tremedously, but we also started running more passing routes and our receivers were able to get some separation from the defenders.

How many Florida games do you watch? Sounds like a case of the grass is always greener. I do like their OC, but in the 2nd half against LSU, which was one of the 2 UF games i watched, they ran the ball the vast majority of the time. The other game i saw was v UGA and they scored 9 points. I wasn't exactly reminded of Mouse Davis either time and based on the outcome of their other games, it does not look like the 2 I saw were outliers.

I thought the slip screen to Ware vs USCe was a great call. We threw to the backs alot more this year and it was effective. No short side option this year either. I can live with the offense we have now but I would like a little more variety.

The problem with this is that "brilliant play call" doesn't necessarily mean "gimmick play". In fact, it almost never does. Brilliant play calls are the calls that anticipate the defensive set and utilize a non-gimmicky, but perfectly unexpected offensive play in response. There were a good number of those. But unless your'e attuned to seeing the brilliance in something other than backyard gimmicks, you'll miss them.
Oh, and it's "hook and ladder", a play on the name for a certain type of firefighter company and the play itself, which calls for a hook pattern followed by a lateral.

The Arky guys were on the radio this morning and had one old columnist on (very good guy and as objective as a home town guy can be) and he thought AR would lose by at least 17. This morning he said LSU played the most vanilla offense he has ever seen, said he couldn't remember one misdirection play, on thing that had killed Arky all year.
I was thinking that during the game, AR was very young at LB and DB and looked like the Saints all year with mis direction. Again, another example where you absolutely question whether they watch game film or not. Tongue in cheek, sure they spends hours looking at film but sure didn't pan out Friday.

I just read some of your post history. I think you hate Les Miles and his family.

Ouch.

I'll take execution over creativity any day. The difference between the good offensive games and the bad ones wasn't play calling. The same plays that only put up 200 yards against Florida were the plays that put up 440 against Alabama.
