I don't think physical mistakes qualify as bonehead plays. When I think bonehead, I think mental error.

Gore's drop wasn't a boneheaded mental error.

Gore's drop wasn't a boneheaded mental error.

e.g., the 15 yard penalty on the last punt to Sproles

That's huge from a psychological standpoint, starting from the 25 (3 and out and maybe you have a shot at a FG) vs the 40 (oh boy, Drew Brees needs only 25-30 yards to get in FG range). That's mentally a big deal.

A drop by a receiver/runningback is always a bonehead play. There is just as much mentality behind it as physicality.
