The Corbett Report, September 25, 2015

September 24, 2015

Introduction The Bombers missed a wonderful opportunity last week to gain the upper hand in the “race” for the final playoff spot in the CFL in 2015. What did they do instead? They came up with a lack luster, uninspired performance. Seriously, perhaps they were up too late enjoying the Montreal nightlife. Perhaps the noon […]

Once a year, in the middle of the season, the CFL schedule includes an intriguing mini-series that becomes an event onto itself. Regardless of the participants’ records, a prairie rivalry is reborn. A mini Grey Cup if you will. It used to be just the Labour Day Classic, but in recent years it’s turned into […]

Introduction The opening songs a good spot to start. The often ignored, underappreciated but oh so necessary offensive line. Only heard from when they screw up, the offensive line is probably the most underappreciated position to play in sports (next of course to the 5th man on a curling team). Let’s face it, the Bomber’s O […]

An opening song choice this week could have been “Welcome to my Nightmare”, because as much as Bomber brass would love us to think otherwise, this team’s wagon has been hitched to Drew Willy. So now, faced with the prospect of at least 8 weeks without their marquee quarterback, the Bomber season hangs in limbo, […]

Introduction For the second week in a row the Corbett report opens with a Drew Willy referenced song. What gives? Well here’s a short history lesson of how much this team seems to need #5 behind centre. Thursday, July 2nd, 2015. Hamilton at Winnipeg With the Bombers down 10 – 7 Drew Willy is sacked […]

Introduction Apologizes for the repeat song but really, isn’t Willy the focus of all that is Bomber football this week? After Willy left the game (down 10-7 at the time) the Bombers quite simply unraveled. They grabbed the CFL rulebook and proceeded to comprise a checklist of how to give up points and by the […]

Introduction Greetings! Welcome back to another season of the Corbett Report. It’s been an interesting season in Bomberville. A stable front office has meant the team could actually focus on football. No more stadium delays, no Mike Kelley shenanigans, Joe Mack’s gone and hopefully forgotten (the last player to be drafted in his era has […]

Introduction What a week! Kudos to Prime Minister Harper for not only attending the pre-game ceremonies at the Ottawa game on Friday but also for changing out of his suit and taking his seat in the stands and hanging in until the end of the game. After this past week I’m thinking it would have […]

Introduction So I know what you’re thinking. The songs a bit premature right? We’re still mathematically not eliminated. Seriously though, here’s what has to happen for the Bombers to make the playoffs. We’re four points behind BC so first of all we have to catch them. They have 3 games left as do we, so […]

September 26, 2014

Introduction So I know that it might seem a little premature to suggest that time is running out for the Bombers playoff hopes in 2014 but take a look at the standings. At 6-6 the Bombers are currently out of a playoff spot. Oh sure, if they were still in the East they’d be in […]
