The Corbett Report, November 6, 2021
Introduction Lots of dancing in Bomber nation two weeks ago as the Bombers clinched first place in the west, securing the Western Final in Winnipeg on December 5th. In most years, clinching first place during the second last week of October would not be considered unusual. Typically, it would mean locking up first place with […]

Introduction How hot are the Bombers? This is the teams best start since 1960 when that team (lead by coach Bud Grant) went 10-0 out of the gate enroute to a 14 -2 record. That team averaged 28 points per game on offence and allowed only 15 points per game on defence. They came into […]

Introduction The Corbett report last weighed in fully on the Bombers on the Banjo Bowl weekend. At that time the Bombers were 4-1 and the Elks 2-2. Fast forward to this week and you find the Bombers at 7-1 and the Elks at 2-5. For those of you who are math-challenged that means the Bombers […]

Introduction So what a week last week. The Corbett Report (wrongly) predicted the Bombers would lose their 15th Labour Day Classic in 16 years but instead, the Bombers surprised most of the CFL world with a stunning 23-8 win over the Riders. While it could hardly be worthy of the label “Classic”, it was a […]

Introduction Last week the Winnipeg Blue Bombers did something they hadn’t done for 671 days. They lost a football game. It was, by their own account, a lacklustre performance. Offence couldn’t move the ball, defence couldn’t stop the Argos, and their kicker . . . well, let’s just say he couldn’t split a banana let […]

Introduction Week 1 is in the books and not without a few surprises. The Corbett Report predictions went 2-2 but really, who in their right mind would have predicted an Argo victory over the Stamps and a Red Black victory over the Elks? But, hey, that’s sports for you and who can be upset as […]

Introduction It’s been 620 days since the last edition of the Corbett Report. Just to refresh your memory, here’s the complete text of that report – published November 24, 2019, at 9:55pm MST: WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though it was in another decade, it seems like it was just yesterday that the Bombers handily defeated the […]

Good morning. Welcome to the last regular season game for the Bombers. Many are thinking this game is a nothing game for the Bombers but far from it. The Bombers are still in the hunt for a home playoff game. A Bomber victory and Calgary loss next week will likely mean the Bomber would host […]

Introduction Wow, wow, wow! A month ago the Bombers had just won the Banjo bowl with Chris Streveler leading the way. That lead them into a bye week which lead them to the game in Montreal in which they posted 34 points in the first half and all was right with the world! Since then? […]
