The Argos beat the Blue Bombers 31-17 last Saturday in Toronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt is still so early in the season that right now is not the time to panic or freak out, worrying about the three consecutive losses,\u201d Oliveira said. \u201cIf we focus on (the finer details) I think we will be fine. However, we have to play better football, come Friday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The Winnipeg Sun’s Daily Headline News<\/p>\n Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Oliveira lumps himself into a group of players who must sharpen up \u2018the finer details\u2019 that have occurred in recent times. Beyond a win to snap the slump, Oliveira wants to see a clean game from his cohorts in charge of moving the ball downfield.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I would like to see is the details, myself included, everyone, we can always clean up the finely tuned details, and when you do that, you will start to see a really explosive offence,\u201d Oliveira said. \u201cThere just have been way too many small mistakes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Currently, the Bombers have two rushing touchdowns this season \u2014 with rookie Matthew Peterson and Zach Collaros finding the end zone \u2014 and a dozen touchdown receptions. Nic Demski leads the way with five. Collaros is eighth in passing yards with 1,031 and Chris Streveler, who will be the Blue Bombers\u2019 starting QB on Friday, is 11th with 558 passing yards. \u00a0<\/p>\n Oliveira is encouraged because the mistakes are totally with the control of the players on the field. The faux pas are not based on a talent deficit or a shortage of heart and hustle.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not like there are guys out there who are not giving an effort and not fighting until the last whistle has blown,\u201d Oliveira said. \u201cBut it is the small details and if we can correct them, bring the young guys up to speed as well, we will be alright.\u201d<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Share this article in your social network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Breadcrumb Trail Links SportsFootballCFLWinnipeg Blue Bombers \u201cThere just have been way too many small mistakes,” Oliveira said.

In the loss to the Argos last Saturday, Oliveira put the ball on the carpet late in the fourth quarter, which was his first lost fumble of the season. The former CFL MVP is still looking for his first 100-yard rushing game and his first rushing touchdown of 2025.<\/p>\n
