The Corbett Report, August 17, 2017

August 16, 2017

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 […]

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 […]

Introduction The past two weeks have produced two games with similar trends. In both games, the Bombers took the field looking like they misread the schedule and thought the game started an hour later than it really did. The result, a halftime deficit against Toronto of 22-19 and a whopping 27-7 deficit against Calgary. Then […]

Introduction What a difference a year makes! Last year after 11 games the Bombers were 4-7 this year they’ve flipped that around to 7-4 and have a solid hold on a play off position, either in the West or via the cross over. This week of course, the talk isn’t just about the what the […]

Introduction The season within a season began last week with the 53rd Labour Day Classic and for once the game lived up to the hype with the Bombers hitting a no-time-left field goal to win 28-25. With that victory the Bombers broke an 11 game losing streak in the LDC and exorcised yet another demon […]

Introduction So I consider myself a true blue Bomber fan, but I’d be lying if I thought they had a chance to win last week in Edmonton. But there it was for all to see, a complete game effort against the defending Grey Cup champions in a City where they hadn’t won for 13 years! […]
