Yeah it's crazy, HB did not "tap out". How would that even work? I think it probably made a big difference in the secondary chaos.

Easy. Players all know the symptoms and what to say IF they choose to have a "mental health day" and don't feel like working that day or week for that matter. Yes, Dr.s and clinicians have their pen lights shining in their eyes and doing physical extremity maneuvers an all BUT it is really up to "what the player is reporting" and they are all smart enough to know what to say or not to say depending on whether they still want to play or not.

I know ICH I hear ya, and I don't like typing what my gut tells me(but I post my gut and could care less about popularity on this board) and I am a HB fan but he has been very soft this season making waaaaaay too many business decisions IMHO. His fiery passion is not there this season and when you have lost a step you begin to question yourself and hit a lot less. Let's hope after this inspirational win without him he will pull his head out if he can(restoring his passion-sometimes you can't restore it) and get back to the ol Badger we know.

you are insane


You think he didn't want to play in the biggest game of the year (up to this point)? You don't think he wanted to showcase himself with the world watching to improve his financial position? You don't think he cares at all about the team?

Didn't say he doesn't care about the team. Understand I am a HB fan BUT he has been soft this year. But when you are an elite professional athlete and have made millions and have won a world championship with a HUGE RING on your finger with all the trappings of that life and have indicated you want to be paid again oftentimes complacency can creep in and now you feel you have "done enough" and at this point "the edge starts to fall off" because now "entitlement" sets in and now you play to protect the product instead of playing to win at all costs. Your priorities have subtly but significantly switched because now you have that "I am a seasoned all pro vet" let the 'young guys' make that hit/tackle or guard that young WR superstar. And many times these types of players don't recognize it in the early stages BUT what does show up early is more and more 'soft play'.

In a nutshell, some players don't recognize when they have lost "their fire in the belly". Sometimes it can be restored but most of the time it cannot is all I am saying. We'll see with HB and HOPE he can come back to the ol HB we know and love !!

Well supposedly you played safety in college, correct ?? You think he has been "bringing the wood" on the majority of plays this year ? Like you I have played the game and my football eyes say definitely NOT, obviously you think differently. That's okay but know you must leave room for that possibility happening with HB and not to let your anxiety overtake you in this most critical part of the season.

I did and I'm still bigger than him. 5-9, 174 isn't going to bring a ton of wood. I want him clogging up the passing lanes more than "laying the wood" and gettin knocked out of a game.
