I dont see any spin being put on anything in this thread. You might be right about Miles future. But our talent is not signifigantly better than auburns or floridas. And when the talent we do have doesnt perform, there is nothing the coach can do about it. I think alot of LSU fans have a misconception that our talent level is loads above everyone elses, so it has to be the coaches fault. Thats not hinking logically.
First post here guys so give me a chance, I agree with lsuk in the fact that the phantom holding call took points off board. If that touchdown stands, the fumble on the one never happens because the play does not happen we are up 14-7. I agree that JR should not fumble the snap in any situation, but the play would not have happened. I think that one call started a series of unfortunate events that would not have taken place. Thinking back I am pretty sure that was all the same series.
What's sad is that bad call have been happening to us for years. I go into every SEC game now expecting them. Miles should make bad calls part of practice. :hihi: Oh yeah....Welcome!
Thanks salty, I think that we can all agree that we were not as sharp as we should have been, but I think before that point in the game we were moving along well. I don't want you guys to think that I am blaming the refs cause I am not. I agree with you salty in the fact that I am expecting it and that it is going to happen at a very bad point in the game. I don't know how it could be fixed.
Bad calls are a part of football. There were a few calls I'd have been pissed about if I were a Florida fan. Russell was disappointing. The return game was disappointing. The running game was disappointing. The coaches are responsible for all of that. They are responsible for having this team playing clean, consistent football. But almost every team in the history of football has bad days. It is time to move on. We can still salvage the season. If we can win our next two games we'll have another shot at winning a big game and reclaiming the value of this season. I've seen good things from this team this season. Against Florida was the first time I didn't see good things. A loss for a partially rebuilding team with gimpy backs at The Swamp in one of nationally recognized Florida's biggest games in the past couple of years doesn't mean we are bad. I knew this was a big game. Obviously, our team is not ready to be a national player. We just aren't. We've had some bad luck. Hopefully Miles can get it turned around.
I totally agree with you lsu i like, it is time to move on and we did not put our best effort. We can be and will be better in the future. I think that the resposibilty lies with the entire team and staff. We have next week to look forward to.
And #3 is always looked at first--no matter which team, league or level. ...#2 is always looked at because his backup is usually the most popular guy in the fans' eyes.
