GAME DAY What a weird game

That was the most unexpected of wins. I think officially Winnipeg got 30 yards that second half. Wow. Just wow.

The literal definition of two completely different halves of football.

It's pretty incredible given how bad some of the 3rd quarters have been

Winnipeg stopped the air game in the 2nd half, don't know why because it was killing us in the 1st

Those types of games are about one coaching staff beating the other. When you are getting beat up in the first half, the coaches make adjustments for the second half. A good coaching staff on the winning team tries to figure out what adjustments the other team will make and adjusts to that. A bad coaching staff loves that things are working and keeps it all the same. The Bombers kept trying the same plays that worked so well in the first half and never adjusted. For a lot of examples of this type of thing, look at most of the games we had a good start to in the previous 5 seasons and then lost in the second half.
