The Seasiders looked like they had claimed a point on the road as Josh Bowler scored his sixth goal of the season with less than ten minutes to go.
However, Blackpool were unable to hang on and the home side bagged the winner with only a minute of normal time left on the clock.
While QPR was always going to be a tough test for Neil Critchley’s side, the visitors were feeling a little more positive when Dion Sanderson saw red in the first half.
The loss means Blackpool have won only once in their last six matches but will be confident of taking all three points as they host Reading tomorrow afternoon.
The Royals currently sit one place above the relegation zone – 13 points below Blackpool.
