What a difference one play makes...

Does it matter one way or another to the criticism of Les Miles if Clemson makes or misses its game-ending field goal?
In other words, is "but we won, didn't we?", as we often see with Mr. Miles, an always valid excuse for a coaching performance?

At the end of the day winning is all that matters, it doesn't matter how you got the win

Winning is the end goal, but it's not simply winning one game, it's winning many games consistently over a long period of time. If an individual game is won, but won in a fashion that reveals glaring flaws in the team which may prevent future victory, then the criticism is valid and whether or not the Clemson kicker hits or misses is irrelevant.

For one time in my life I agree with the idea of what you are saying. Even if he misses that FG, the problems are still pretty glaring to me.

Absolutely. Clemson misses the FG, the Miles apologists can still have more of an argument to rationalize his win/loss record.
Clemson makes the FG, and there really is no way to defend him.

It doesn't change the problem we have. Which is an under performing Offense.
In honesty thou not as many ranters would be upset. Also those that think that Les is doing a good job with the Offense would say--Hey we are winning the games what more do you want Les to do.

What if....?
What if the 4th and 16 is not a miracle completion?
What if we make the 2 yards and a first down to ice the game?
What if he misses the field goal?
What if we cover Yelding and stop him for a 5 yard gain?
What if Okie State doesn't lose to an inferior Iowa State team?
What if? LSU would be playing for their 2nd championship in a row and would be seen in a lot different light. Offensive woes or not.
A few minor things make a big difference! Don't you think?

I wasn't posting on here in November, but man, just think about that one Yeldon TD where Minter inexcusably tries a fake blitz (& Barrow too!) up the A gap out of a dime defense when the 2 extra dime backs (Mills & Eugene) were both blitzing off the edges. Talk about an absurd play that changed the fate of the year. Cray cray.
I never got a chance to say this before so I'll just go ahead and say it now--THERE IS NO WAY THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
A lot of people around here would be singing a different tune about the program for sure... but not me!

Losing wasn't all bad if it makes the team better and improves the offense in the long run. It was only a chicken bowl loss. It's all how Les handles it. LSU was downright lucky not to have more losses the way we played vs Arky, Ole Miss, and Auburn. We could have easily dropped 2 more. Our defense has spoiled us the last few years. With player losses to next year's defense the offense will have to be better.

I hate to admit it but I was actually hoping he would make it so the fall out would be greater. The man has to be held accountable for a loss now,not another vintage Miles victory.

If we had won it would be like 2010 where we lost to Auburn and Arkansas on the road. Both played bcs games and one won the natty. Same here.

How many times did we hear this when we played like shite. Finally caught up to us.
