I'm getting mighty tired of blown tackles! These kids all are trying to strip the ball instead of making a solid tackle. Take out their legs for God's sake because we're hemorrhaging yards in hopes for a big play!

Lee has made some stupid throws. And he can't throw across his body. But let's skip the obvious. Lee isn't being well-served by his receivers. What the hell is Brandon LaFell's problem. That kid cannot hold on to the ball. This young QB needs some heads-up solid play from his receiver corps, not dropped ball after dropped ball!

re: Miles Out-coached...?

No, I wouldn't say Miles was out coached at all. Nick Saban barely left town with a victory. That's amazing.

The staff did make a few dumb calls. Run the option on 3rd and 1? And then punt on 4th and 2 at the Bama 35. Hell, we punted and they got it at the 15--next play they were back at the 35. I'd liked to have seen Miles take a chance there--I think it would have worked. This game was coached too conservatively.

And Gary Crowton needs to learn that he doesn't have a star QB out there. He likes the razzle-dazzle and cute plays. That's not going to work with Lee--or any other young QB for that matter. Use Charles Scott a lot and create opportunities for safe throws outside of the hash marks (Lee can't throw across his body). Keep it simple stupid!

You want to blame somebody? Blame Ryan Perrilloux for being stupid and blowing a once in a lifetime chance. Les Miles is an awesome coach and we're fortunate to have him here with a long-term contract.

That said, I wasn't thrilled with our coaching staff on Saturday. They weren't bad, but they weren't good, either. Run the option on 3rd and 1? And then punt on 4th and 2 at the Bama 35. Hell, we punted and they got it at the 15--next play they were back at the 35. I'd liked to have seen Miles take a chance there--I think it would have worked.
