Ciron missed his block 3 consecutive plays on the last set of downs? 1st down the DE blew by him and caused JJ to throw early; 2nd down the DE blows by him for the sack; 3rd down Ciron misses his block which blows up the screen for a loss.

Lafell dropping 5 balls; with at least one being a TD.

PP and CJ playing street ball on defense and not sticking to assignments.

There are about 4 million reasons.

LSU's last 11 plays were passes. That's all you need to know.

On 2nd down Ciron did exactly what he was supposed to do. JJ had a 7 yard pcket to step up into, but he kept backing up. Ciron did his job, hands down.

On the second down, JJ stepped into the sack. CB did a pretty good job there. JJ should have stepped up.

I agree with the drops and all that but you have to remember these are amateur athletes. I consider the coaches professionals as coaching is their profession. Kids are prone to mistakes, coaches don't have the luxury of falling back on that.

Further, the special teams coach needs a little heat for not having his fg team lined up at the 35 ready to hit the field. There is no excuse for that.

JMHO.

Aside from the buffoonary of the before and after calls, the screen pass to Ridley was actually a nice call and was set up beautifully, had Ciron not missed his fn block...that one would have probably scored or at least got us inside the twenty. That one pisses me off more than any because their was fn NO-ONE within 15 yards of Ridley ahead of him.

there is some blame there, but it's the coach's 3.8 million dollar job to get them ready.

On 2nd down Black did exactly what he was supposed to do. Do you even understand the concept of a pocket, retard?

Yes some blame is on the line through out the yr. but their as fed up with the staff as we are, definitely more. The blame goes on the staff for not doing their jobs to make the team to do their's. IMO

Because they are players on the field trying. It is a team sport. Why don't you highlight the other 120-130 snaps where players did things right. Think about it...
If you graded out higher than 90% at school, you'd graduate with honors
If you worked 7 days a week and 90+ % of your performance reviews were " satisfactory or higher" you would get a raise.

STFU.

What about calling timeout after 3rd down? Don't you think one of the players would have instinctively called timeout? I know all of us were screaming for it after the play.

Ciron missed blocks all day long. Knowing this, why does Crowton put our team in the position where CB is forced to do something he hasn't been able to do?

Balls will be dropped. 5 might be too many, but every receiver has drops. Lafell then also put us in a position to win the game, which the coaches blew.

Some coverages will be blown, just as some plays won't work out. The point is that the players did enough to put us in a position to win, which the coaches then blew.

It all comes back to the coaches.

While its great when players step up and do things like this the coaching staff is by far in the better position to call TO and make sure it was called.
