The Corbett Report, August 29, 2021
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? […]
The Corbett Report, September 27, 2019
September 26, 2019
Introduction So I get the angst of many Bomber fans (and share much of it) after last week’s meltdown in Montreal. A first half in which the Bombers could do nothing wrong (34-10 lead) followed by a second half where they could do nothing right (37-38 final score). I get the suggestions that this team […]
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. What could possibly go wrong? Well, two […]

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 […]
