Beyond the Box Score

I'd be curious to know when the last time a Bomber tossed for 300 yards three games in a row.

Also how long it took the Blue last season to get this many yards passing and points

Willy was the first since Glenn in 2008 to do it back to back so then or 2007 would be my guess.

Man getting Randle was a shrewd move. Liked it at the time it went down and love it now. 

So now we can forgive Walters for the Korey Banks transaction?

Pierce had 706 yards by game 3 last season and the team had 8 touchdowns by game 3.  We didn't start out all that bad.  Once we lost Pierce though it all went to hell

Someone needs to remind me how we got Randle and the shrewedness of it

[Mr. Perfect]

Walters traded the 24th pick to net Randle and the 26th pick in the 2014 draft.

Maybe true if you ignore time of possession, first downs and ability to sustain drives.

Perhaps I should revisit my comment after mid season to see the large difference in yards

No mistakes are still mistakes. We can talk about good and bad without having to ignore one or the other.

I do not equate every personnel move that doesn't work out as something that GMs should apologize for.

 

We traded a guy who wasn't really working out for us for a guy who was getting on Buono's nerves about a contract extension.

 

The all-or-nothing approach to GM assessment is how you end up with fans saying "IMWT" and moving on to "every single thing he ever did was terrible".  Wasn't true for him, wasn't true for Taman, wasn't even true for Kelly.  Just make sure you get a lot more right than you do wrong.

Can't hit homeruns without taking big swings... sometimes you guess fastball, and you get a curveball.  Banks was a slider in the dirt.

Bombers had 5 two and outs, doesn't look like any of them were consecutive.

 

Fun fact - not a single winning team last week had less two and outs than their opponent.

 

Winnipeg (5) beat Toronto (4)

Edmonton (8) beat BC (8)

Saskatchewan (8) beat Hamilton (7)

Calgary (4) beat Montreal (3)

I would suspect that the TOP stats are the reason for that. Have the ball more you have more chances to go 2 and out.

 

 

TOP isn't the number of possessions though.  Generally there isn't a difference in the number of possessions teams have unless there are onside kicks or turnovers on special teams.

 

Everyone has the same number of chances to go 2 and out in most games.

 

 

 

Teams do not necessarily have the same number of possessions without turnover. The difference will not be higher than two however.

 

 

Edmonton had two more possessions than BC in Week 1. 

Hamilton had two more possessions than Edmonton in Week 2.

 

There is no maximum difference though as defensive or special teams touchdowns factor in. Also in the CFL the rules allow for a team to kick off in both halves if they choose to differ in the first half and then pick the wind in the second half.
