I really felt bad for the guy, as the first idiot who questioned him was basically calling him out. No place for that right after a tough loss.

Either way he made it seem like he had no idea what to do to attack offensively in this game. I always thought Miles had a huge hand in the play calling and decision making that went into the offense. Maybe an LSU fan can correct me on that assumption.

Also, I have a new found respect for Tyrann Mathieu and especially Eric Reid. Granted they were not allowed to say much, but definitively said all the right things. Some of our players could have taken note on how to lose with some humility.

I wont bore you with my complete thoughts on the game, but I believe if we played again, that the games wouldnt even be remotely similar to what we saw last night. LSU looked tight and nervous. I never remember them being so tentative on offense. Defense was ferocious as usual, and if the offense didnt put them in so many bad situations we may still be playing.

We just had a good game plan for this one game, and will I am glad for it. I am not looking forward to next year in Death Valley

Finally someone that gets it. I'm not saying LSU would win if we played again, just that last nights game....wasn't really a game.

As for next years game, I am only 18, so it will probably be the most personal one I have ever seen. Looking forward to it.

Most reasonable Alabama fans realize that the LSU - Alabama will be a heated rivalry for the foreseeable future and these two teams will be in the mix to play in the NC every year.

Kind of nice to see the LSU-based fan forum up and fully running and not the pussy-ish "this forum is closed to LSU fans" that was displayed by the TideFags forum.

The "idiot" you speak of is Bobby Hebert who played quarterback in the NFL and his question/statement was fair IMO

Eh, if our team would have gotten stomped 21-0, then I don't think that they would have said the things that they said after the Nov. 5th. They just said what they truly felt, and its turns out, they were absolutely right.

bullshite. Les Miles makes millions of dollars a year. A legitimate question, as that was, is always permissible. No place for it after a tough loss? You have got to be kidding me.

Thank you Bobby for commenting on the giant elephant in the room.

This is a game that will eat at Miles this offseason IMO.

I could almost cry watching Reid's face. Damn he is sad.

congrats on the victory. I know there are many good bama fans like yourself. I hope all of our players blamed no one but themselves. Enjoy it and don't take a championship for granted

It's his own fault. He benched Lee, who put up more offensive points then JJ.

The reason LSU won the first time was because at that point in the season - LSU ran a 2 QB system and Bama was unprepared for the option plays by Jefferson.

So besides sticking with Lee - and using Jefferson as a change of pace QB, he benches Lee.

I'm not saying LSU would have won, but our offense production has dropped off (especially early in games) since the first Bama game, and that's because of Miles' stubborness on making JJ the starter.
