Yes he is. That's why he knew going for the W was the best thing to do.

No, it wasn't. Not at that place in the field.

I won’t judge the call yet. The only thing that matters is how it will affect the morale, psyche, and respect of the team.

I am pretty sure they keep their cups half full, unlike many of our posters.

Players don't want ties. They don't bust their asses for 60 plus minutes for ties. Every player in that locker room Has Frank Reich's back on this.

Heartbreaking. Another one. But it was great to see Luck step up in the
second half and be the QB we remembered him to be. If he can stay there
there will be no dull moments this season. I agree with GB that Hines needs
to see the field as much as possible.
The 4th down decision I am coming around to.

If you want to defend the decision to go for it on 4th down OK, but your reasoning in regard to the players' attitudes toward ties is absurd.

This is not sandlot football for bragging rights, and any player that isn't borderline retarded knows that a tie is better than a loss in the standings. If they are disappointed about busting their asses for 60-plus minutes for a tie, they are even more disappointed about busting their asses for 60-plus minutes for a loss. The players may publicly support Reich's decision even if some of them didn't agree with it, which I think is the right thing to do (for the sake of team unity) ........ but any player who truly believes and feels that a tie is worse than a loss needs to have his head examined.

Andrew Luck disagrees with you.

No, he doesn't.

He said that agreed with the decision (that he loved it), which I stated you can make that argument (not a very good one, but you could make one), and I also stated that I think that they should support the coach's decision publicly. He said that "we play to win, we don't want to play for ties," not that the loss was less disappointing than a tie. That's the public front, which is the right thing to do.

He did not say or insinuate that he would have been more disappointed with a tie than with a loss. Anybody who feels that being 1-3 is better than being 1-2-1 needs a remedial course in math. I'm sure that Andrew Luck and every other Colts player was rooting for the Texans kicker to miss the field goal attempt on the last play of overtime........which would have resulted in a tie.

I bet Peyton would have gone for it, too.
