The Corbett Report – Issue 2026-10– October 10, 2026 Bombers vs Stamps Introduction What started out as another promising season in Bomberville is quickly turning into, well let’s not overstate it, a disappointing year.  A look below at the standings and you’ll see that the Bombers are in danger of missing the playoffs for the […]

Introduction It’s the second home matchup with Toronto this year.  There’s something you haven’t been able to say since the Bombers were in the Eastern Division.  It’s a key matchup, too.  The 7-6 Bombers are only two points ahead of Calgary, and with the season series on the line when the Bombers entertain the Stamps […]

Introduction Aaah, another year, another Banjo Bowl.  As has been mentioned many times here, it’s hard to win back-to-back games in the CFL.  That bodes well for the Bombers who are coming off last week’s 32-26 OT loss to the Riders.  What doesn’t bode well is the way the Banjo Bowl/Labour Day games have been […]

Introduction To say this season has been a disappointment would be a bit of an understatement.  Sure, the team is 4-4 but let’s face it, they haven’t shown anyone that they’re capable of being Grey Cup contenders.  Take a look at their 4 victories: Week one (road): A walk-off field goal by Castillo wins the […]

Introduction There’s a reason that football games are played approximately a week apart.  I know what you’ve heard, it’s to allow players to heal and recharge.  That, however, is a falsehood.  The actual reason there’s approximately a week between games is for the FANS!  We need a week to recover and regroup from the emotional […]

Introduction Looking below at the standings, it looked like this season was shaping up as the most competitive in years.  But then last Sunday happened.  That’s when the league saw two of its premier quarterbacks go down with injury.  Bo-Levi Mitchell, with an ankle injury that, well quite honestly, looks to be season (if not […]

Introduction Interesting that the Bombers traded for Dru Brown this week.  I believe it shows that they don’t have the confidence in Taylor Elgersma to be a solid back up.  Or perhaps they see Dru Brown as their QB of the future! Whatever the reason for the trade, Brown’s two-year stint in Ottawa has come […]

Introduction Ahh . . . the home opener!  The boys are indeed back in town.  Well, more specifically one boy is back in town, he being Chris Streveler who’s here, not to play, but to celebrate his retirement at the tailgate party tonight!  So what endeared Strevey to the Bomber faithful that would warrant a […]

Introduction Training camps and, by extension, pre-season games are an interesting beast in a football team’s season.  So many hopefuls are brought into camp.  Off-season signings that seemed so promising can come up flat.  Shoo-ins can sometimes be shown the boot.  A team that takes to the field in the pre-season may not look at […]

Greetings from Winnipeg. Now that the pesky Grey Cup festival part of the weekend is over it’s time to actually, play some football. Here are today’s keys to the game: For Montreal to Win It all comes down to how healthy Davis Alexander is. If his injured hamstring is healed enough to get him through […]
