Who actually saw JJ run the option to prefection a number of times? Scott Step up big time? Hell, event he running game was there until half the team got hurt. JJ, scott and peterson was the killer imo. Saw peterson play his heart out and along with Shepard (on D)? Oh I dunno, OUR D give us the game again on a silver platter with no results. Stop calling out Chavis. It's not him, when 2-4 people per play miss tackels well enough said. #15 got schooled by Jones enough said. Miles let it all hang out tonight so S T F U about the 2 pointer. If he would have made it, yall all would be singing a different tune. Yep, plenty of bad calls, but plenty of chances to win the game, chit happens. Really, be honest, how many of us thought this years LSU would go to the NC game? I didnt, BUT I AM DAMN GALD in the fact we made a strong effort to compete to do so. Some said another 4 loss season, that could be true, it its looking as if LSU will win out now and have another blow out bowl win. Respect for everyone on LSU for play hard and coming back from a horrid 8-5 season. Enjoy the ride guys it could be worse. We are very luck to even have a team in NC talk for the past 8 years. :lsup:Baby!
No the last second release of the ball to scott a number of times is perfection. Even the times he cut up field is too. You, and others, are going off the fact that Bama played it well. Still, JJ played it perfect a few times.
Yea. We suck at the option. Our QB is not an option qb, and we really don't have an option tailback. We call it at the wrong time, all the time and run it to the wrong side of the field. Scott definitely stepped up. Peterson and Sheppard played great. Our defense gave up 450 yards of offense. They played ok in the first half, complete fail in the second. We went soft. That's on Chavis. Although he probably got a little concerned when Riley and Peterson were out of the game. #15 had no business ever being asked to man up on J jones. He is a SS lined up on one of the best receivers in CFB. 99% of NFL SS's get schooled by him in that situation. Again, horrible call. Miles did not lose this game for us. He also did damn near nothing to help us win it. The 2pt play was wrong. Sure if he makes it its great. But thats like losing you lifes savings on a bet and trying to tell people had you won you would be rich. Look pride, your love for the Tigers is awesome. But you really do not understand this game very well, and I don't think you should be telling people to stfu for expressing their opinions. That is what the board is here for. Sometimes though, I wish I could be like you and just be happy with having a team to cheer for. Unfortunately I know this game so well that i see things that bother me that joe tailgater with a purple shirt has no clue about. There are a lot of people on this board like me. That's why I like it here so much. You get some really good football discussions.
I mean on the Jones TD, it was 15's man and he MISSED THE TACKEL, how is that a bad call? He was there to make the play, what am I Missing other than then 15 just got beat? I understand the game just fine. on the option, we finaly saw JJ wait until the defender sold out on him before he pitched or he cut up field? whats to miss? Was everyone perfect? No, but this was the first game I actually saw JJ sell the option and on those few times he maade the defender sell out, scott got very good gains. Now no, I dont agree with the short side crap or every call Miles makes, but what coach is perfect? How did miles not help us win? Airing it out deep, getting shepard in throwing every play we had at them? yea our D gave up some yrds but so many missed tackels, gonna pin that on coaching too? Fact is, chavis and miles put our team in a position to win and we came up short. Yall can say what you want about the CB's 10 yrds off their man, but they all creep up within 5-7 yrds, EVEN PETERSON and look how well he plays.... I just find it hard to believe guys on this forums could do any better out there on the field. And yea, if we would have made the 2 pointer not a single person would have said crap about it. It just seems that here, everyone calls for heads every game. Win or lose someone has somthing to bitch about. This was not LSU's year. No player on this team is perfect and neither are our coachs and it just seems sad how much some people harp on this team for giving it their best. You dont need to know everything about football to be a fan, tospeak up or see that players are improving and I highly doubt you know everything there is to know. Half the facts most of yall spit are all opinion based anyway. It's what you THINK the right call should be. Or what YOU would have done or what SABAN would have done. Thats all opinion.
Just watched it again on Espn, Taylor got pushed in the back. No, it wasn't like a special teams player running down the field, but it was two hands being slapped in the back and knocking him off balance. Watch the replays, first watch the one from bama's endzone and see the tackle slap him in the back. Second watch the one from the sideline or LSU's endzone and watch Taylor after STUMBLE forward after contact w/the tackle. You can clearly see him lose his balance. Missed call, Period.
Yea but even with that, he was in position and he played it a little wrong. It happens. man on man and he got beat. Peterson was hurt and out. How is this on coaching? I mean really, Taylor even touched Jones. Jones was just better than taylor on that play. We all know if it was peterson was there Jones would not have had a TD. SO again, why do people say its on the coaches? Not sayin you said that
It's coaches because you never ever ever ever want a safty one on one with a receiver. Especially a ss, and especially against one of the best in the game. It's coaching 101. Sometimmes you can't avoid it due to the offense. However, we did not even try to disguise it. as soon as Saban saw that he saw 6. no doubt in my mind. Every qb is trained to try and find a safety one on one with a receiver or back. the ratio of good to bad on these situations are ridiculous. They didn't have to even look for it. it was blatant.
But you would agree that if peterson was in, peterson would have lined up the same and made the play?
