    Bottom Line....IMHO, that we can't blame 1 play or player for last week's loss. ALOT of the players had a bad game. Missed blocks, missed assignments, missed tackles, dropped balls, blown coverage......

    I would much rather have a series of breakdowns in 1 week that 1 or 2 breakdowns everyweek.

    Coaching is tricky. One week, you're the Hero, the next week, you're the Goat. it's really about finding hte consistency week after week.

    This week is Auburn week, so I hope we are well preparred for this opponent!

    Miles is responsible for all those things you listed. Most don't care to criticize the coach after a win (either I'm a miserable person or I'm a realist, because I'm critical W or L). None of these things suddenly popped up over night just because the influx of complaints did, so to say Miles shouldn't be held responsible is silly.

    Miles can't catch the ball for our receivers, but such an epidemic of butterfingers isn't something that we should write off as random bad luck. Butterfingers disease on the scale we saw it against Kentucky is indicative of a deeper problem. Unfortunately, it wasn't the only epidemic problem we've seen from this team this year.

    On the other hand, we have a talented team that perhaps just needs to get its head straight. We'll know in a few days.
