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.

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.

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.
