You misunderstand, my point was I wish HB was in there stopping these 3rd and 4th down conversion runs to 1st downs with the old HB attitude.

Pretty much. During that first series he recognized real quick Allen was going to be Deeboing more than usual and he wasn't having it and mailed it in. Which means he already had reservations to begin with and these signs have been evident for quite some time as some posters in this thread have already noted throughout the season.
These opinionated statements of mine about HB and his previous soft play this season and mailing it in this last game are not meant to be incendiary or some kind of personal judgement against the guy but rather evaluating "football character and commitment" to the game at hand. This is not evaluating his personal character off the field whatsoever but rather evaluating it "on the field". It's not surprising many have a "tender ass" or experienced some "red ass" or in CP's terms "butthurt" by my opinions of HB's play this season and most recent game. But I always try to deal in truth and reality in my posts in what I see(still an opinion and I get it) BUT we are all "flawed and human" and so is HB. We all get tired and burnt out and let up at times as does HB. This is all I am trying to get across is, is that HB is human and IMHO he doesn't have that "edge" any longer and that is OK.
But IMHO again, don't put that uniform on unless you intend to use it and HB ain't been using it like he had in previous years.
