# 2010 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season

The 2010 Winnipeg Blue Bombers season was the 53rd season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 78th overall. The Blue Bombers finished the year in fourth place in the East Division with a 4–14 record and failed to make the playoffs. The team clinched their third consecutive losing season on October 2, 2010 and were eliminated from post-season contention on Oct 23, 2010 making this the second consecutive season that they have missed the playoffs.
After their Week 18 loss against the Edmonton Eskimos, the 2010 Blue Bombers set a CFL record for most losses by four points or less in one season with a remarkable eight such losses. This sets the record after the 1993 Ottawa Rough Riders had seven such losses during their season and when the BC Lions also had seven of these losses in 1996. After losing the final game of the season against the Stampeders, the Blue Bombers finished the year losing nine games by four points or less and ten by a touchdown or less.
