Mindless decisions of nob in rear hurt SAS at front (2-8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

no-brainers

'mindless decisions' is the definition.
(decisions you don't need to think about)

'nob in rear hurt sas at front' is the wordplay.
'hurt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at front' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'sas' is 's'.
'in'+'rear'='inrear'
'inrear' is an anagram of 'rainer'.
'nob'+'rainer'+'s'='NO-BRAINERS'

'of' acts as a link.
