I know he was trying to ice the kicker, but there was almost no time on the playclock and Romo was out of position because he was trying to call timeout even though they didn't have any left. Just a complete bonehead move in my opinion and I'd love to hear him try to explain it, except I'm not going to waste my time watching his presser.

I'm not sure Shanahan could see from where he was standing necessarily that Romo was about to do a Chris Webber. All that stuff is premeditated anyway. "Hey ref, watch me and wait until there's one second left then I'm going to call time out" In that scenario, Shanahan isn't really paying attention to the field. More so the clock.

On that kick though, quite a few people in the stadium (Redskins fans and otherwise) think he may have actually missed. I'd have to see the replay
