Giants Fumble DIRECTLY cost the team the win. Not sure the other plays directly cost their team the win. Jets weren't beating NE that night. Colts weren't beating NE last Sunday.

Therefore I vote for the Giants Fumble.

There is some sound logic to that. But I voted Butt fumble.

Biggest bonehead play of all time is Jim Marshall returning a fumble 66 yards the wrong way.

I voted the butt fumble.  It has multiple levels of failure.  The whole time, I'm wondering what's happening.  The more I watch, the less it makes sense. 

It didn't matter in the game, in terms of likely outcome, but as a stand-alone play, it's just so strange to run up the crack of your own player and drop the ball after doing a 3 rollback drop.

The whole thing is crazy.

I chose the Colts. I could care less about results when discussing what is the dumbest play. The Colts tried to outfox what is likely the best prepared coach and best prepared team with a gimmick. A high school team should know how to defend against that play. The formation was terrible. Also, the guy who practiced the play all week and was the key figure (the guy centering the ball) had left with an injury and they still tried the play with someone who had no idea what he was suppose to do in plan B. Terrible decision.

Can we add Tony Romo game winning kick snap bobble vs Seahawks in the playoffs?

Also, can we consider the Florida Gators tackling each other on game-winning fumble returns?

1st one qualifies as other, 2nd one didn't happen in an NFL game

Not a bonehead play guy just dropped the ball on a snap. Bonehead play is more to do with something stupid and only seen once every 20 years or once ever

How about the Seahawks in the Super Bowl?

I will never forget that ever because they could have stopped the Patriots cold.

How about Leon Lett Thanksgiving gift to the Dolphins?

Or Leon Lett celebrating before he reached the end zone and Don Bebe forced a fumble?

Other than this being a Dolphins message board, i don't see how the buttfumble is the worst of the worst. It was a botched play from the start that unfortunately resulted in a turnover. Personally, I didn't look at the play and say to myself "what the hell are you doing"?

Some good options to choose from, even Tenshot and dolphins4life have some good suggestions. If I could actually vote (not showing up) I'd have have to go with the Colts, that was the biggest wtf moment for me.

I think someone mistakenly locked the voting. I have now unlocked it.

How about DeSean Jackson spiking the ball before he scored on a punt return?

Sorry but did the title say biggest bonehead NFL plays and I missed it?
