The Winnipeg Blue Bombers lose their season opener 19-17 to the Edmonton Eskimos.
The Bombers had a slow start, down 9-2 at the half. But they would out-score the Esks in the 4th. With 5 seconds left, the Bombers found themselves in a position to tie the game with a field-goal. Bombers kicker Alexis Serna’s kick was just short in completing an amazing comeback by the boys in Blue and Gold.
The Bombers next game is their home-opener at the Canad Inns Stadium on Friday July 10 against the Calgary Stampeders.

didnt expect much for the first game…so ill cut the boys sum slack.
Defensively they played great, holding ricky ray to only 1 td in the first half. That damn timeout in the last play IMO was called a bit late. Serna popped that shit in the air already all of a sudden there was a whistle..AND he made the first attempt. But it was seclined OH WELLZ.
Cant wait for next weeks game…MILT STEGAL FTW !

I agree it’s just thier first regular season game. I thought he would make it after the “practice kick” but let’s see how they work together on home turf.
