Game Preview | 2022 Home Opener - Winnipeg Blue Bombers (bluebombers.com)

Kickoff: Friday, 7:30 p.m. CT, IG Field, Winnipeg The forecast: Courtesy Environment Canada: Sunny with a high of 26C, cloudy overnight with a low of 15C.

I’m just making sure I’m noticing my blessings in front of me and the opportunity in front of me. The franchise record for consecutive home wins is 16, set over a span from October 23, 1983 to October 6, 1985. “That’s not even talking about his speed and his ability as a receiver. I just want to make the most out of this opportunity and be a Bomber for a good while.” “Last year is last year. I’m going to show him.’ My mentality was yeah I’m small, but you’re going to have to beat me every single play and that’s something a lot of people couldn’t do. In addition to Paul LaPolice returning to Winnipeg so, too, does receiver Darvin Adams, who signed in Ottawa in free agency. Ottawa was 2-5 on the road in 2021. “I’m from New York and every time a tackle lined up in front of me it was always, ‘OK, we’ve got this small dude. I was always a size-never-mattered type of dude and I’m ready to prove that to everybody. He’ll be replaced by rookie L.B. Mack III with Cedric Wilcots II also listed on the depth chart.

Collaros and the Bombers’ offence took to the field down one with 1:46 left on the clock. Liegghio made good on the earlier miss, connecting from 25 yards out to put the Bombers back in front 19-17 with six seconds to play. The drive got Ward to the 42-yard line and he calmly split the uprights to put the REDBLACKS back in front, 17-16 at 11:10. Collaros engineered a 10-play drive that was finished off in short yardage by Prukop, who broke into the end zone at 8:50 to go in front. That led to Liegghio setting up from 20 yards, a kick he put through the uprights at 2:11 to go in front 10-7. After the Bombers took a loss on their short yardage attempt, Collaros looked from the five-yard line and found Greg Ellingson for his first touchdown as a Bomber.

Un autre ajout durant la saison morte, Jaelon Acklin, a été le receveur le plus productif avec cinq passes captées pour 92 verges. Nous n’avons pas bien réagi. Il faut être meilleur à ce chapitre.» Le botteur Lewis Ward, lui, demeure toujours aussi fiable. L’attaque, même si elle n’a inscrit qu’un touché vendredi, avait plus de mordant. Quant à la défensive, elle a limité les champions en titre à 289 verges de gain à l’attaque. Les Bombers, qui ont toujours été redoutables au sol dans le passé, n’ont pu porter le ballon que sur 50 verges. Le nouveau quart-arrière de l'équipe, Jeremiah Masoli, a pourtant fait son travail à ses débuts chez le Rouge et Noir. Il a complété 24 de ses 34 passes pour 380 verges.
