The Winnipeg Blue Bombers fell 23-19 to the Ottawa Redblacks and dropped to 0-2 on the season for the first time since 2016.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros throws the ball while Ottawa Redblacks ' Damon Webb tries to tackle him during second half CFL action in Ottawa on Thursday, June 13, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/ Patrick Doyle.For a second straight game to begin the 2024 season, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers looked nothing like the dominant team the league has become accustomed to seeing over the last few seasons.
“I thought the first half we just could have stayed on the field a little longer possibly,” head coach Mike O’Shea told the 680 CJOB post game show. “I liked our second half. I liked the way the guys came out with an opportunity to win it. I thought we gave ourselves a good chance. It didn’t work out.”It was another mediocre game for Bombers QB Zach Collaros who threw for 285 yards and two interceptions with no touchdowns.
“There’s a lot that goes into it than just trying to point the finger at something, at one group really.” Another Ward kick, this one from 31 yards out, gave Ottawa a 13-0 lead in the second quarter, before the Bombers finally got on the board on a 45-yard Sergio Castillo field goal with 7:16 left in the half.
