re: Tebow won't play - the game just isn't that important

Although I agree that Les had some perceived miscues during the last game, I will say that I don't blame it all on Les. And yeah, I did go apeshit crazy watching the clock run down....

However, we do need the players to come out and play to the level they are capable of playing. I would also say that Les might even agree that he had not done a stellar job in "coaching them up".

So it's more than possible to lose the games that we won, but completely impossible to win the games we lost?

No, not completely impossible, just less likely.

I don't hate LSU. Is this one of those threads when the initiator starts the mind frick on everyone else?

"Miles' utter lack of incompetence"

So, you're saying he is competent?

JersyTiger... You sir, are alright in my book. Very smart man indeed

So you don't have any actual way to back up that earlier statement. Got it. Flame on.

Miles' utter lack of incompetence managing an end of half or end of game scenario should be painfully obvious to anyone that's been paying attention.

He lines up on with no time outs left to pick up a first down in a 2- TE set. He doesn't get it. They are out of field goal range. Options are to punt or to throw a Hail Mary. He doesn't have the personnel on the field to throw a Hail Mary.

The decision to make either call above the other takes time. The act of getting the right personnel on the field takes time. Miles had it in his mind that his players were going to pick up the first down and punch the ball into the endzone.

If you can fault him for anything on that drive, it's for having too much faith in his players. Maybe you should just blast the offensive line for getting 0 penetration on third and short.

Did ya'll see that half or most of the offensive linemen were sick!...they were playing on guts!

Hail Mary = 4 wide receiver set

At the time, we had two tight ends on the field. So unless you wanted to see two TEs and two RBs running down the field instead of 4 WRs... it was going to take time to get the right personnel on the field.

Of course I saw that and they played very well in opening running lanes all night. Except for that play. Sick or no, you can't place the blame on anyone but the offensive line for not picking up a first down on third and inches.
