Why the crazy kicking yesterday?

I have looked for an answer on the board. Please forgive me if it was covered and I didn't see it.
WHAT WAS WITH THE KICKOFFS yesterday? Is there any possible way it was on purpose or had a purpose? The announcers kept wondering why LF7 wasn't in the game when we all knew there was a reason... (preparing other aspects of our game for down the road)...
What could possibly be the reason we didn't kick? Hope we CAN kick it. Special teams are really scary... not in a good way...

Because our kickers and kick coverage suck balls so we conceded field position so that there up men would field it

There's no way to dress it up. Our special teams play is simply terrible. Punting. Kickoffs. Kick coverage. Blocking on returns. Miles gives lip service to it being an important component of the team, then puts his buddy BDP in charge because he can't do anything else at a high level of excellence.

I just heard his post game press conference and heard him talking about specialty kicks... Very PC. Code for... "We don't want to have them run it back for another TD!"
That is sad. We have to win the battle of special teams and field position as the season wears on or it won't matter who is in our backfield.

Was there really any doubt about the kicks? We have no confidence in our special team coverage!! Miles has to hire back one of his buds, Peveto and that has not worked out well at all...

Coverage was bad
Kicking wasn't very good
Kicking into north wind in 3rd quarter

This is exactly what went on yesterday. It's ashamed that we have to essentially give the other team the ball at the 35-40 yard line because your kicker can't reach the end zone with his kick offs, and you can't trust your coverage team to maintain lane security to prevent the other team from taking it to the house.

and that is going to keep you pinned deep in your own end of the field against good teams until they score. This is a bad situation that needs to be fixed in a hurry, because every team we play from here on out is going to take advantage of the good field position we gift them.
