It's such a headscratcher when a super strong team just drops the ball in the playoffs. But I guess it isn't all that uncommon either when you have one game to decide every round.

I still don't see why people didn't see the Bombers as a formidable foe (aside from the QB situation) They had the season slump at the perfect time and when I saw Collaros and Streveler both playing I thought they would win it all especially later against a rookie QB like Evans. The game didn't surprise me at all, not saying I expected it but it played out pretty much how I thought it might. I was the one going after the Winnipeg naysayers earlier and it's not like they were my team (although they became it) partly because of that.
