This same thing was said after 2008 and 2009.

Thanks goes out to Jarrett Lee. Comeback wins vs. Tenn, and Fla, plus a save against Bama kept us from 4-5 losses in '10

All JL in 2011. Big wins with ease against ranked teams kept us from a 3-4 loss season

And? Since then we are 1-3 in bowl games, gained the distinction of being the only team to be shutout during the NCG, and are once again on the outside watching other teams compete in BCS games. And we just lost a bowl game to a team that everyone on here thought was vastly inferior in a bowl everyone here thought we were too good for.

Last year was an utter fluke. We had an unsustainable turnover margin, a once-in-a-lifetime defense, and the SEC schedule was incredibly weak. It was the best LSU team ever based purely on talent, and they still couldn't put up a single point against Bama in the NCG. And even before that we had entire halves without a first down against inferior teams.

If Miles couldn't win an NCG with that team then there is no way he ever does again.

I dont remember those things being said after the 2008 and 2009 seasons. I believe most fans knew where the problem was and at that time was at QB with Perriloux situation leaving us in the pickle. We are well beyond that time and I have to agree with the OP that now it is apparent we are headed downhill. Im not saying so far towards losing seasons but 8-4s and 7-5s with the occasional 9-3 and 10-2s , here we come. Is that all that bad you answer me? When you've tasted of the thousand dollar vintage wine, does the cheap Boone's Hill still taste good to you?
