re: Quit freaking out over the gameplan

The whole point is that it was Les Miles' vanilla offense and stubbornness that lead to the loss on 1/9.

There it is. Your vag is still bleeding. I get it now.

So if it was his "vanilla offense and stubbornness" that led to the loss, what was it that led to the other 13 victories? One being over the eventual champ at their house.

I would say Miles outcoached Saban that first game. Saban played it way too close to the vest and relied too much on 50 yard field goals.

So this makes you right?

Like I said earlier, Les' job is to win not please the fans

Some of us fans are pleased when LSU wins.

Let it gooooooo

So far this season we are 1-0. All that matters. Maybe Mett looked off bc he got his bell rung early in the game and they did not want to chance getting him when they did not need to

Or maybe they treated this as a scrimmage and worked on things they wanted to and used backups on the o-line and things like that

They say the biggest improvement is usually between week 1 and 2.

I could careless what game plan we use as long as we win. A Win is a Win.

We need to be ready for Bama in Nov. not Sept.

What advantage does it lend to show that in game one against NT while you are running the ball down their throats to the tune of 300+ yards?

Why show that to everybody? Do you crack aa smile when you get pocket aces too? No, you wait until everybody throws their chips in, then you drop the hammer and go home a rich man. Simple concept really.

I just don't buy this argument. USC, Oregon, OSU, WVU didn't throw wr screens all night, they obviously aren't afraid to show anything. Additionally, running some basic passing plays doesn't give other teams anything to work with that they havent seen from last years tapes. I just think this is an excuse we have come to use with the Les Miles offense hoping to see something new the next week.

I feel like we are arguing in circles, one side feels it was a waste of a good opportunity for Mett to build up his experience and also feels that Miles hasn't learned the need for a balanced rushing and passing attack. The other side is thrilled with the 500+yds and feels that it worked so well last year, and for the most part it worked perfectly, so let's stick with it. Both sides have valid points, we certainly can't change each other's opinions about it.

I would argue that we really only need Mett to be a game manager to get back to the championship game. Problem was, for the most part, the passing attack (plays called) last night did nothing to compliment or help out the running game like a passing attack should. There's no doubt this team can match what last year's team did, only time will tell.




TL;DR
CSB

OK Les.

we played above average and still managed 500 yards. I am satisfied plus we have Washington coming into town next week. why show them anything

Our O line was owned...39 yds rushing for the game.

But our coaches were owned as well. imo

Anyone thinking our talent was
noticeability better than Bama last yr or really better than Bama since 08 must be smoking some good stuff.

But none of that has anything to do with the game Saturday night. A game plan that allowed us to easily beat No Tex by amassing 500 total yds of O which put us some place we haven't been in 4+yrs...in the Top 30 for total O in the nation.
