Shibest's special teams botched another game. That kickoff at the end, when we knew we had to kick it deep and keep them at least inside the 30 (because I don't think anybody thought the defense would stop them for no yardage) was ridiculous. I was thinking, what asshole/moron kicks the ball out of bounds in that situation? Then I read today Nutt and Shibest called for that "sky kick" -- here's a coaching staff that refuses to gamble on anything on offense all night, but tries a very low percentage kick when you have the lead and only need to pin the other team down for one minute and twenty seconds. If they run it out to the 30, so what. That takes ten seconds off the clock. And if they run it back all the way, that is just one more reason to fire Shibest. Lee, there is nothing that needs to be said about him. Me want Gus. I don’t know if he’s gone, but Lee and Shibest should be. Shibest’s special teams botched another game.
