Winnipeg Blue Bombers

But in the immediate aftermath of Monday night's 23-22 victory over the Toronto Argonauts at BMO Field – the win sealed by a missed convert by Boris Bede with ...

But Boris Bede’s convert attempt was way wide left and instead of heading to overtime the Blue Bombers exited with a 23-22 decision. The next game comes quickly, with the club in Vancouver this Saturday against the B.C. Lions on Saturday, July 9th. Fortunate for the miss at the end obviously, but it was a dogfight out there. “They did a great job to make some plays and come down at the end. There will be time for that for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, even in the shortest week between games on their 2022 schedule. I’ll just say Winnipeg is living right,” said cornerback Winston Rose, who opened the scoring with a Pick-6, with a smile.

TORONTO — Everything seemed to be going according to plan for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, as they forced three turnovers and built up a 17-0 lead in the ...

Liegghio went 3-for-3 on field goals and kicked two converts, an important night of work in such a close game. It was a bizarre way for a player to get into the end zone for a TD. A pass from Bethel-Thompson looked like it was intercepted by Bombers’ DB Demerio Houston at the goal-line. “We have to do better on offence. He was replaced by American Malik Clements at weak-side linebacker. “They were right there on the doorstep and that’s an unbelievable play by Bighill. I haven’t seen really much like that. His pass was completed to Banks, but Rose forced a fumble and Bighill flew threw the air to guide the ball into the hands of safety Malcolm Thompson, who lateralled to Taylor for a 41-yard return that led to a Marc Liegghio field goal. Bombers cornerback Winston Rose scored on a 46-yard pick-six in the first quarter and a Nick Taylor interception a few minutes later set up the Wolitarsky touchdown.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the Toronto Argonauts by a score of 23-22 at BMO Field on Monday night. Below are my thoughts on the game. Familiar foe.

His 19-yard catch late in the fourth quarter was huge as it allowed Winnipeg to continue its late drive that ended in a 32-yard field goal from Marc Liegghio. Not only has B.C. played brilliantly over three games, but the Blue Bombers will have to go on the road and play on just four days of rest. Weak-side linebacker Kyrie Wilson left the game late in the second quarter with what appeared to be an injury to his left leg. The veteran’s contract with Toronto was front-loaded with a $40,000 signing bonus. The 24-year-old was a standout running back at the University of Central Florida and I’m curious to see if he’ll get more work in the backfield as the season progresses. You couldn’t ask for a better early confidence-builder after he struggled in back-to-back outings against Ottawa to start the season. Rose was also the defender who struck Brandon Banks late in the third quarter, causing a fumble that Malcolm Thompson recovered. Kicking used to be a hot-button issue in Winnipeg but Liegghio is quickly making fans forget about the team’s previous woes. Banks stole the ball away from Houston and made a circus catch involving his legs. Toronto should have been awarded a first down deep in Winnipeg territory but instead were charged with a turnover on downs. The 35-year-old hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down in his twelfth CFL season and now ranks second in the league with 225 rushing yards through three games. Modern analytics tell us that running backs don’t really matter — running the ball is all about the scheme and the quality of your offensive line.

TORONTO — Although Boris Bede missed a routine convert that would have tied the game and forced overtime, his Toronto Argonauts teammates blamed themselves ...

Late in the third, Toronto was on the Winnipeg 10-yard line with a chance to tie the game, but Bethel-Thompson's completed pass to Banks was fumbled. He found Markeith Ambles for a four-yard TD pass to cut Winnipeg's lead to 23-22, but Bede missed on the point-after attempt to spoil the comeback. Toronto general manager Pinball Clemons, who wasn’t on the sidelines to start the game, went down to the field to play peacemaker. After the change of possession, tensions began to rise on the Argos sidelines. Bede’s convert trimmed Winnipeg’s lead to 17-10 in the third quarter. Toronto head coach Ryan Dinwiddie challenged the spot of the ball after his team’s failed attempt but the spot was upheld by the CFL's command centre. He also had an interception, but it came in a desperate attempt to add points as time was winding down. The ball went right to the hands of defensive back Demerio Houston. But Banks managed to strip the ball from Houston’s hands while in the end zone for Toronto’s first touchdown of the game. Toronto appeared set to get their first points of the game after moving the ball down to Winnipeg’s 29-yard line. Bethel-Thompson was picked off for a second time in the opening quarter after a bobbled snap led to a rushed throw. "It's been three weeks now and we haven't seen the real Argos." That set Winnipeg up with short field position.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers head to BMO Field to face the Toronto Argonauts on Monday night to round out the Week 4 schedule. Winnipeg is coming off a 26-12 ...

The Argos need a rebound effort if they hope for a better result to close out Week 4. Bethel-Thompson was able to complete just two passes to star receivers Brandon Banks and Kurleigh Gittens Jr. Resulting in just 59 yards between the pair of receivers. Collaros completed 21 passes for 302 yards against the Tabbies but threw an interception and failed to throw for a touchdown. Both players will be key in stopping the pass and rush games. “We need to look ourselves in the mirror,”Bethel-Thompson told argonauts.ca after the loss. If there’s an area of the Winnipeg defence that the Argos can exploit, it may be in the passing game. Oliveira has seen 39 touches through his first three games and has rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown. As long as we, as a defence, can play together and make some stops and get off the field on second down and get our offence the ball to do what they do, it’s good.” The Bombers have allowed 316 yards per game in that category. That’s without mentioning reigning Defensive Most Outstanding Player in linebacker Adam Bighill, or fellow linebacker Donald Rutledge Jr. who have the ability to thwart offensive opportunities. The Bombers defence has held opponents to just 13.6 points per game this season. In their Week 3 win it was defensive lineman Willie Jefferson who stood out.

TORONTO — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers escaped BMO Field with their first win in Toronto since 2018 in a 23-22 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Monday night.

“It’s a dog fight, all the way to the end,” said Bighill in a post game interview with TSN. “Every play matters, we can see that. All but securing a win for the visiting Blue Bombers. It was a back-and-forth battle that came down to the final seconds of the game.

Collaros connected with Schoen for a 14-yard completion, before finding Greg Ellingson for a 19-yard completion to help put the Bombers into scoring position. Despite the sack from the Argos defence, Winnipeg still managed a score as Liegghio connected on a 32-yard field goal attempt. Approaching the six-minute mark of the final quarter, the Argos once again called on their kicker, this time for a 39-yard attempt. The Boatmen were able to follow up the score from Winnipeg with one of their own. Winnipeg’s Jake Thomas found his way into the backfield for a sack on second down, forcing Toronto to attempt another field. However, Collaros was unable to connect with Rasheed Bailey in the end zone on a second-down attempt. With Toronto’s offence on the field for their first possession, McLeod Bethel-Thompson was looking for receiver, Brandon Banks on a route up the sideline. The drive was headlined by the efforts of Wolitarsky, who put the Bombers into scoring position on a 12-yard catch. The Toronto defensive secondary held strong as Collaros threw back-to-back incompletions, and the Bombers were forced to punt. Toronto called on kicker, Borris Bede to try for a long-range field goal. Midway through the first quarter, the Bomber defence was able to strike once again. It was the defensive effort from Winnipeg that once again helped them to victory.
