Exactly. Playing scared.


What?


Whomever made the decision to take the starters out instead of playing for the #5 seed. They're not playing to win.


No, they are taking a gamble.

Playing to win what? If Stroud, Hunter, Anderson, Nico or the corners go out, you aren't winning a playoff game no matter who it's against.
Sounds a bit like playing scared (I.e., fear of several starters getting hurt in the next 2 quarters)

You believe the Texans are afraid to play the Ravens.

A pretty stupid gamble IMHO. Playing the AFC North rep is far superior than having to play New England or Jacksonville.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

You might not be, but it appears Demeco and the FO might be. Completely illogical to concede this game. Seeding. Matters.

They are taking a gamble. We'll see if it pays off or not.

Very different than saying they would RATHER play Jax or NE instead of the Ravens.

Y'all are ridiculous. The Texans are resting starters exactly because they aren't afraid of anyone, not some fantasy that they're avoiding Baltimore.

As a 5-seed, are the Texans still guaranteed all road games? Is there a scenario in which they win the WC round and then host the divisional game based on other upsets? If so, this is quite the coaching decision.

Possible but unlikely because both the #2 and #3 would have to lose.

There's a world where we have to go to Buffalo in divisional round or AFCCG instead of playing them at home. That alone is worth playing your starters in this half.

If the Bills or Chargers and we advanced far enough to meet (perfectly plausible) we've conceded home field advantage in either of those matches if we lose today and they win. .

That seems important enough to play another half of football since we are much better at home than on the road. Hopefully the backups are able to prevail and keep that possible advantage.

Not worried about playing at the Chargers being in LA. Playing at Buffalo is a problem. Josh Allen vs CJ Stroud in the freezing cold equals a likely loss

Thanks!

The Chargers that were going to be the 7th seed even if they won as long as the Texans (starting Stroud) beat the reeling Colts and the Bills (starting Allen) beat the hapless Jets?

Yeah it's not difficult to see why the Chargers would protect Herbert since a win likely wasn't going to mean anything for them, their OL has conceded 54 sacks, and Herbert has been playing through a hand injury. Less easy to see why we'd act like winning doesn't matter.
