August 1, 2025

Introduction A 3-0 start seemed so promising for the Bombers but since then???? Well, not so much. Two losses in a row to a Calgary team that was on fire could be considered a glitch, but July 26th???? A 31-17 loss to the Argos, who had but one win on the season, well, that was […]

Introduction It’s been a long two weeks since the Bombers took to the field. A long two weeks to digest the debacle in Calgary on July 3rd that saw the Bombers lose 37-16. That loss was bookended by two Collaros interceptions, one in the first quarter and one in the fourth and it felt like […]

Introduction At the start of the season the so called “experts” around the CFL had the Bombers in the middle of the pack. They’d probably make the playoffs but were a team on the decline. Well, tell that to the BC Lions. Against the Lions the Bombers defence registered 4 interceptions and 3 fumble recoveries […]

Introduction Tempting to do “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” yet again, but really, which is the most wonderful time of the year? Is it the Grey Cup? Banjo Bowl? Or the season opener? Hell, whenever the Bombers play it’s a wonderful time of the year. Unlike other games though, the season opener […]

Introduction Well, here we are. Vancouver in 2024 and for the 5th consecutive season that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are representing the West in the Grey Cup. A rematch of the 2022 contest. Hard to imagine that the Bombers have been able to navigate the mine field that was the highly competitive Western Division in […]

Introduction Do you remember the mantra that any team playing a playoff game in Winnipeg would have to overcome both the Bombers and the weather? Well, whether it’s climate change, the schedule change, or just sheer luck, it’s shaping up to be a beautiful day for football on Saturday. 13 and sunny is the latest […]

Introduction The Blue Bombers hired Mike O’Shea on December 4, 2013. It was O’Shea’s first gig as a head coach. It didn’t start out well for O’Shea with a paltry 7-11 record. The Bombers kept their faith in Mike and he was onboard for the 2015 season. That year, um . . . well . […]

Introduction Flashback. It’s August 1, 2024. The Bombers enter a key matchup against the BC Lions. Bombers are 2-6. Lions are 5-2. The game is pivotal. Fall to 2-7 and the Bombers may as well fold up their tent and head home. The result? A 25-0 victory by the Bombers. Pivotal? That’s an understatement. That […]

Introduction If this is the week after Labour Day then this must be Banjo Bowl weekend. The most wonderful day of the year on a Bomber fans football calendar. A weekend when there’s a run on watermelons at the local co-op. When a broad swath of combines trundle across the prairies in search of football […]

August 22, 2024

Introduction To quote Taylor Swift, coming into August the Bombers were looking at a rather “Cruel Summer”. An 0-4 start. A loss in their first two home games. No wins in June. A mediocre performance in Regina. Then a heartbreaking loss in Toronto in July and the Bombers’ season seemed on the precipice of falling […]
