Bye week prediction, September 13, 2019

September 13, 2019

No Bomber game this week but a few games that’ll have an impact on how they fare the rest of the season: Pick BC over Ottawa (surely Reilly will win sometime this year!) Hamilton over Calgary (Why no one seems to give the Ti-Cats respect is on beyond me, they have the best record in […]

The Corbett Report, Banjo Bowl 2019

September 6, 2019

Introduction When the Corbett Report last filed a full home game report all seemed right in the world. Enroute to a 7-2 record, a healthy Matt Nichols at QB, Andrew Harris having another strong season, the Bombers seemed right on track to break that pesky Grey Cup drought.

Away predictions, Labour Day 2019

September 1, 2019

Given that the Bombers are 1-13 over the last 14 Labour Day games and 18-36 over the past 54 years, it would have been a safe bet to suggest that they would be underdogs again this year in spite of their first place record. So now add to that, no Matt Nichols and no Andrew […]

August 15, 2019

Introduction The 2019 season is rolling right along and so are the Bombers. After the hiccup that was the East Division road trip the Blue got back on track with a 26-24 victory over the Grey Cup champs last week. Lots of cranky fans still out there though, among the complaints (with the Corbett report […]

The Corbett Report, August 8, 2019

August 7, 2019

Introduction When we last chatted, three weeks ago, the Bombers were well established in first place in the CFL West with a comfortable 4-point cushion over third-place Calgary. I thought at the time, that first place in the West would come down to who won the three-game series between Calgary and Winnipeg (sorry Edmonton, until […]
