WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 @RapSheet: Free agent shocker: Frank Gore reconsiders potential/pending deal with the #Eagles, Im told. I'm just worried that Chip looks at this, looks back at Shady, looks at the entirely reasonable new contract he intends to sign as says "Hey, we could do that!"

SJDK Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 good for Gore, he will last longer than people think. I predict spiller signs for an offer that was less than the Bills offered. Same greedy karma fate that got Marrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in MD Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 This story basically encapsulates the offseason so far. Guy runs as fast as he can away from the sinking ship that is the 49ers, but quickly realizes that the Eagles are also approaching train wreck status and goes somewhere else.

bourbonboy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I grew up in Philly, and am still an Eagles fan (2nd to the Bills), but c'mon - why wouldn't he prefer the Colts? Better team, more playoff hopes, coach more appreciative of RB's, and if I'm a RB and have to replace somebody, I'm gonna look MUCH better compared to Trent Richardson than McCoy....not to mention the difference in QB's to minimize the 8-man fronts....assuming $$ are similar, this is a no brainer!

White Linen Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'll LMAO if Gore goes to the Colts instead of the Eagles. Yeah I'm with you on this. For some reason Chip has completely turned me off with his arrogance, not that I was wild about him, but he was an interesting guy to watch. I'd be utterly frustrated if I was an Eagles fan because every player that perfectly fits his scheme he gets rid of. He's the perfect example of why an organization goes down a slippery slop giving that much personnel power to a coach. I'm as content as I've been since the glory years with our FO and it's relationship with the coaching staff. They appear to be working in harmony.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 good for Gore, he will last longer than people think. I predict spiller signs for an offer that was less than the Bills offered. Same greedy karma fate that got Marrone It's almost like things have started going Buffaloes way lately. Byrd doesn't re-sign, then fizzled with injury.. Levitre isn't re-signed flails badly... Shep Hughes trade pays handsomely.... Ralphie passes, pegs comes along.... At doug opts out, Rex Ryan opts in.... Spiller declines a deal so they go get the far better/best running back from the same draft... They are on this roll of turning negatives into greater positives... Each challenge has been met as an opportunity to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 In my opinion, a much better match for Gore than Philadelphia. The Colts need him...they are close... They have a good OL and a great QB and they need a run game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I wonder if the Eagles will consider it outside tampering. Either way Stephen smith completely trolled his audience hard, and him crowing about it now is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 When you look at Philly you see a team that has no QB, no WRs, no healed and healthy MLBs between Alonso and Ryans (torn Achilles), no defensive backfield outside Byron Maxwell. They have a decent OL and DL. All football personeel decisions are being made by a coach with precisely TWO YEARS of NFL coaching experience and ten minutes of NFL personnel experience. Why would Gore leave a grease fire in SF to go play in the middle of a tire fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a bigger loss than they are letting on. Personally, I think Gore is a terrific fit for the Colts. Kind of adds that Anquan Boldin toughness and grittiness that they are lacking right now...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I know this is a double post, I came across this in the official Bills sitdown interview with Shady. It seems that he and Gore were friends, to the point where Shady was asking about Roman's system and what to expect: Greg (Roman) is an excellent guy. He’s very intelligent. He finds ways to get his running back the ball in space to make different plays,” McCoy said. “I’m very close with Frank Gore and Frank couldn’t stop saying positive things about coach. So it sounds like Greg and I are going to have the same vision and the same goals. I can say just the way he uses the back, he wants to make the guy the workhorse so we definitely agree on that. The main thing is to run the ball hard and get some guys up front to make some things happen.” I wonder if the way that Chip treated Shady had anything to do with Gore changing his mind.
