I hate giving the game away too. I realize Houston is on their 47th QB, but still, it has been a dream season for us - we’ve never gotten this far. I can see both sides, but as a fan, we wanted to win. That is why I loved Coach Leach (college) - he looked at each game individually - it didn’t matter if you won last week, this week was all that mattered. The NFL is a business with union employees though - so I guess it runs differently.
Going to OT in a meaningless game and then losing a significant player to injury is a good way to get fired.
In the Texans situation it was important to go for the win, but more important to go for the end.
