I stopped reading after I read those statements. You can't blame Crowton for how he's running the offense. Especially when you realize we have a RSFR QB who (quoting you) WILL make mistakes. Crowton is less questionable coaching than even Miles (it was Miles decision to go Co-DC). You should have waiting more than a day to post.
I agree, GC is a good OC and I trust him. I do disagree w/ your 2 QB comments, Fla in 06 had Chris Leak and Tebow, so it can work. The problem LSU hasis that both of our QB's are no Leak and Tebow. I wasn't going to be shocked if we lost to UF, but I was surprised that we lost by such a margin! Good news!!! We go to SC this week. :geauxtige:geauxtige :geauxtige:geauxtige
There's a way to make this loss irrelevant. Matter of fact maybe it was a good thing. I kinda thought we would beat Fla in a hard fought emotional game and then come down and lose at SC. We beat SC and we're back home and running the table is not out of the question. I think we can beat Fla. in the tent. Yes I said it. I think we can beat Fla in Atl.
There is a reason we all predicted this team to go 9-3 or 10-2 and it starts with having inexperienced qb's and going on the road in the SEC. Those 2 dont mix very well. I am actually impressed with Lee's improvement and poise but to be honest we will lose 1 or 2 more games. Our defense has been soft and looking at it i just dont see the intangibles in this team that i saw in last years. We can go undefeated the rest of the year if we start creating some turnovers and making some big plays. Using our lines to dominate and wear the other teams def. down. That is why we play the games and this team is on pace to have a good year and a New Years Day Bowl if they keep playing hard. Look at how many good teams lost their first games this past weekend. Teams are starting to get injuries and play the meat of their conference schedules. And this year there is no completely dominant teams. Everyone has their flaws.
was it google that made the program to keep people from drunk emailing? i wonder if they can develop something for football bandwagons?
Yep. Google did make that program. And I think it's a great idea. Maybe something could pop up whenever you hit "sumbit" that a short question comes up asking "Should Les Miles be fired for the loss at Florida" if they pick yes, then their post gets deleted and they get a 48 hour ban.
i honestly cant say i disagree with you. i dont think the wheels have fallen off, and its hard to argue with the record over the last 3 years, the SEC championship, 2 SECCG appearances, a national championship and 3 bowl victories 2 in the BCS. But...........our offense is way too predictable. i thought gary crowton was suppossed to be some wild west gunslinger, and offensive genius. Andrew Hatch wouldnt start at LA TECH. I like Jaret Lee, he has a future. Why arent we getting the ball in the hands of the playmakers. Good things happen when we create mis-matches from the line of scrimmage. Look at the drive at the end of the half in the florida game, and at the beginning of the 2nd half. We got the ball in the hands of lafell, and holliday, and good things happened. Florida didnt look that great on D when that happened. but then we went back to the good ole I formation, and back to predictability. Terrance Tolliver, this dude is a prototypical NFL receiver, D Byrd is a playmaker, Lafell in the slot is one of the best in the country, Holliday used as a receiver out of the backfield is very dangerous. We matched up talent wise with Florida no one can deny that. We were out played, out classed, and out coached. I totally agree with the co defensive coordinators. How can 2 unproven assistants end up being defensive coordinators at one of the best programs in the country? We were exposed. And i hate to say it, but if mississippi state can run the ball effectively on us, then so can south carolina, and bama, and georgia. We have been real close to 4 loss seasons 3 years in a row, but we caught a little luck, some breaks, and some last second heroics kept us from that. This may be the year that all that luck runs out. I love the tigers, i bleed purple and gold, and i hope im DEAD WRONG. But i saw a group of undisciplined kids that had no business being on the field with florida the other night. We need to blitz more, we cant just let quarterbacks sit back in the pocket all day and roast weenies and camp out, until he finds a receiver. Pressure, Pressure, Pressure. I like this team, i like the talent we have, its time to put it together, and fight our way back to atlanta. This is how champions are made, lets see if this team can pick themselves up and get back out there and get a big win vs. USC.....
Please. We've been just as close to being undefeated the past several years. It goes both ways. But it doesn't matter in the least what our record "could" have been. It has been great. Period. Oh, and Florida couldn't beat Ole Miss two weeks before that game on Saturday night. We played badly; I don't expect that to continue, as we didn't have a single guy who really played a good game Saturday night.
We were EVEN closer to winning 2 MNC's in 3 years. '05 -- one overtime loss from having an unbeaten regular season '06 -- 3 yards shy of winning the west, setting up a rematch with UF (a victory there puts us in MNC game vs Ohio State) '07 -- 2 plays away from being unbeaten. We are an elite team, and will be for the forseeable future. Do we have issues that needd fixin'? OH YEAH Can they be fixed? phuckin' right! Would you rather drop a game or 2 to teams that have no business being on the same field as you (like USC, UF, WVU, OU have all done in the last couple years)?
