  Graham missing a chippy is not on Marvin.

Oh I don't know, I'm sure we could blame Merv for not going for a TD in that situation. I don't remember the game at all, but I can bet you anything that as soon as they were in FG range, Merv ran the ball to run the clock out and didn't even try to score a TD.

Yes, I know that a FG that wins the game is more likely and makes a TD unnecessary, but I'm just providing a way you can blame Merv for that.
