The "jackshit game" excuse only works for the defense. There was no excuse for the QB play (Grossman or Griese). A bad decision is still a bad decision, even if you "don't care."
I can't believe no one has even mentioned Hester muffing another punt yet. He had been out there for defense and when it became fourth down, just kind of danced and stared at the sideline like he wasn't sure if he should be out there or not. I'm guessing he needed someone to tell him what yard-line to go stand on to await the kick...
Given the problems of the defense stopping the run, stopping the pass, and keeping a lead of late, one shouldn't let them off on the "jackshit game" excuse.
Regarding Heart Attack Hester, remember a few games ago when he ran the two kicks in? That second kick he was highstepping from 20 yards out, waving for his teammates to join him running in - all I could see was another Leon Lett.
