October 12, 2017

Introduction Greetings! So after that solid, workmanlike effort against Edmonton two weeks ago the Bombers laid an egg last week in a lackluster, out of character performance against Hamilton. The result undoubtedly left many Bomber fans frustrated and pondering who is this team? What’s their true identity? With concerns arising again on the defensive side […]

Introduction If you had told asked me what I thought the Bombers would need to do this year to be a true Grey Cup contender I’d have suggested that they would have needed to at least earn a split against Edmonton and Calgary and go 70% against everyone else (which would equate to 11 […]

There’s certainly a different vibe at IGF this year. In season four at the new digs the Bombers finally seem to understand that home field advantage can be a real thing. Look no further than the Banjo Bowl and you’ll see the importance of a crazed fan base. It seemed that the fans were simply […]

Introduction Ahhhhhh, the Banjo Bowl. Game 2 of the mini season-within-a-season that highlights the Bombers schedule. For a short 7 days the Bombers ostrich and ignore the rest of the CFL and focus on their archrivals from the flatlands, the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The first ½ of the double header is, of course, the Labour Day […]

Introduction Darvin Adams, the Bombers star receiver, said yesterday that the Bombers had nothing to prove in tonight’s matchup with Edmonton. That the Bombers had already proven themselves. Hmmmmm….you wouldn’t think that by some of the comments this week on social media. Indeed, the Bomber fan base, at least those other than us diehards, seem […]

Introduction Coming into the season there was optimism abound in Bomber camp. Coming off last year’s 10 – 3 streak to end the season I’m sure many thought the Bombers could go undefeated! While, like the song says, it won’t come easy. The Bombers find themselves in a tough, tough division and even a repeat […]

Introduction Greetings! Sorry for the repeat of the opening song but I thought it was good enough to deserve a second listen. So last week was hailed as a measuring stick game for the Bombers. A chance to prove that they could compete with the most consistent and successful team in the CFL for […]

Introduction Greetings! Welcome back to another season of the Corbett Report. Sorry for the repeat of the opening song but doesn’t it captivate the mood across the CFL at this time of year? As spring is known to do, it’s brought a breeze of optimism into Bomberville. Hoping to simply add to their core from […]

October 28, 2016

Introduction The last year that the Bombers had a winning record was 2011, the year of Swaggerville. The Bombers started with a 7 – 1 record before Labour day but then limped to the end of the season and ended up 10 – 8. They made the Grey Cup that year only to lose to […]

Introduction Glass half full? Bombers are playing a meaningful football game on Thanksgiving weekend. Glass half empty? They’ve lost two in a row and perhaps are showing that they’re not quite up there with the elite of the league. Certainly the past two weeks served as a reality check for the Bombers and the results […]
