Nobody's talking about this...but I saw a spark in EJ Manuel at the start of the second half.
He was on fire, hitting all of his passes but by that time most of us were at least half in the bag.
Everyone is so focused on the first half as if the second half didn't count because, "they were playing against backups."
Many 2nd stringers become starters over the course of a season.
Hypothetical scenario:
EJ Manuel and the starting offense come out on their first 2 drives of the game and score 2 TD's after Hackett opens up the playbook and shows exactly how they're going to beat Chicago on tape.
After thunderous screams and cheering at halftime, EJ Manuel and the starting offense come out in the third quarter and totally suck.
Flip flop the 1st and 2nd halves.
Which would you rather have?
A great start and a crappy finish, or a crappy start and a great finish?
Wax on, wax off.
"Patience, Daniel son!"
