Bomber for life
The Corbett Report, September 10, 2022
Introduction Greetings! Welcome to the Banjo Bowl edition of the Corbett report. It’s been 17 years since the inaugural Banjo Bowl in 2004.

Labour Day weekend is upon us and the Corbett Report is predicting a home team sweep. And yes, that does mean I’m picking the Riders over the Bombers. It seems like the Labour Day game is a stand alone adventure in the Rider/Bomber rivalry. The best team (this year clearly the Bombers) does not necessarily […]

Introduction No. That was the terse and direct answer from Mike O’Shea when asked if he ever considered just trying a punt for a single to secure victory in the week 4 game against the Alouettes. The answer left no room for debate, nor should it have. The correct call was the field goal and […]

Introduction When the 2022 regular season schedule was released by the CFL, it was hard to imagine the Bombers would hit the halfway point in the season with a 9-0 record. During the first half of the season they’ve played 6 games on the road and faced every team in the league except Saskatchewan. And […]

A little late this week but I assure you, had this gotten posted before yesterday’s game, the substance would have been the same. Winnipeg over Montreal – Bombers can’t lose to Montreal can they? Ottawa over Calgary – First upset of the week Hamilton over Toronto – More Ti-Cat fans in the BMO field stands […]

Another away week for the Bombers. Some interesting matchups though. It’s a rematch of the battle between the top two teams in the league on Saturday. The Bombers have played some mediocre football on offense this year but time after time the defense has had their back. Could this be the week that Bombers streak […]
