This is very true, but even as bad as the special teams were in the past, this year's was even worse. Not just bad, historically bad. So bad that it made you long for the days of Shawn Slocum and Ron Zook. The two blocked kicks weren't just a result of a defender getting a finger on the ball and affecting it's trajectory. These were full on thuds from players breaking through protection. Then you have the exclamation point of having only 10 men on the field for the game winning kick, and coming out of a timeout no less. Drayton should've been fired after the Bears game. MLF knew special teams were horrible and did nothing to fix it. Now look where they are. Watching the rest of the postseason at home along with Dallas, Minnesota and Chicago.
