A few things need to be fixed going forward.

1) Execution on the offensive side of the ball. On offense, dropped passes and missed assignments were glaring yesterday. 3-11 on third downs is also concerning, but I’ll get into why later.
2) Defensive pressure. This has been the theme of the year and I doubt it changes but we seem to have average D-Linemen for the first time in awhile. Unless someone can step on on even just a 4-man rush and make a name for themselves, Auburn and Bama will have a hell of a time game planning against our soft interior, knowing we’ll only get pressure when we blitz.
3) Play calling in the red-zone and in general. Yea I got it, we score 100% of the time in the redzone but we’ve left much more points on the board due to predictable and imo absurb play calling. If the pass doesn’t work on 1st down, we almost automatically run inside between the tackles, it’s maddening. It doesn’t hurt to run on 1st down every once in awhile to mix things up, we put ourselves in a bind when we run on 2 and 10 and get maybe 2 yards. This absolutely contributes to our 3rd down woes. We bank on the 1st down plays too much.
4) Cade York and his tendency to always kick left. Missed a FG vs UF and shanked a point after yesterday. Not very confident he will show up when needed.
Yes, I’m being overly critical and for good reason. I’d rather another 2011 not happen, with the potential this team has.

The only part of your post i agree with is DLine and Kicker
That said your offensive points of emphasis are so terrible I can’t even begin to put them into words

3rd down efficiency is trending down. 3rd down will be important against Bama, SEC championship and playoffs.

I hate to beak it to you, but we’ve had average defensive linemen for a while except one year of Arden Key.
Posted on 10/20/19 at 9:57 am to 13SaintTiger
Yes. Shocker that it’s trending down from 80% earlier this year

LSU is one of only 7 teams in the country to score every time they get in the redzone. Going into the State game, we were scoring TDs 85% of the time. The offense is also in the Top 10 in third down percentage and Top 2 in completion percentage.
The defensive and kicking issues are well-documented. Cole Tracy was manna from heaven, but aside from him, we were one of the worst in the business in special teams two year ago. That said, Cade York is No.2 in the country among kickers in scoring. He had a bad day yesterday. It happens. Thankfully he pushed them through anyway. It could be way worse. Kansas's kicker directly cost them 9 points yesterday and ultimately the win against Texas.

I noticed Chaisson over running the QB on a lot pf plays. This often left the edge open. He needs to develop some moves that'll shed the OT and let him get back inside, and not get so deep.

Shelvin had a nice game yesterday. He can be dominant. I just wish he could do it more consistently because you can see the talent

Just need to fix most of the fans.
Posted on 10/20/19 at 9:58 am to 13SaintTiger
Your stupid bruh the reason 3 downs are down is because we don’t get in many and usually when we do our boss of a QB makes a f****** play so stop your stupid whining little kid

He’s been really good most of the time.
But you can’t rely on a 340 NT to be your pass rush.
Our DE need to step up.

Absolutely. Say anything critical about the team who hasn’t won anything of note since 2011 and you’re a negatiger.
Posted on 10/20/19 at 10:01 am to 13SaintTiger
No, but complaining about things that actually aren’t issues does make you a chicken little
Posted on 10/20/19 at 10:03 am to 13SaintTiger
You're criticizing the greatest offense LSU has ever had and perhaps the greatest quarterbacking performance CFB has ever seen. Burrow is completing 79% of his passes (the NCAA record is 76.7%) and you're complaining about drops.

All of what I listed are actual deficiencies. I mean if your ceiling for the team is “they’ll figure it out in the 2nd half, I only care about Joe winning the Heisman” then sure, they aren’t issues.

Sorry, I don't see potential "dominance" from any position or player on our defense this year. Flashes of very good perhaps, but not "dominant"

I just can’t fathom how people can criticize this offense
Stopped being so spoiled. The more film people have the more it will regress. Even the regression will be fruitful like it was yesterday. The teams will get tougher, too. It is impossible to keep the efficiency as high as it had been.
Joe Burrow is completing almost 80% of his passes.
Do you know how many SEC QBs have even completed 70% of their passes in a season?
any idea?
