Happy Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 After listening to the announcers, what I know about Frank Gore is that he wears cleats that are a size too small, constantly need taped up, and are no longer available for purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other RBs could have easily screwed that up. Let's not forget that he also invented the internet. That's gotta be pretty important too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 3 hours ago, Wayne Cubed said: That’s the problem tho. Gordon/Shady/Motor is a good combo. The Bills got rid of Shady to save money. If there’s an injury you have nice depth. Yeldon isn’t nice depth and it shines the spotlight on getting rid of Shady. Not saying Gore isn’t nice to have but the depth is awful and injuries happen. Let it go. KC can pay him for those 21 and 56 yard games. The other weapons on that team need a breather every. now and then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends who went to the U pointed out that Gore was at Miami with our QB coach Ken Dorsey when they won a National Championship. Thought that was a cool connection to have across different levels of our offensive staff. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) But this past week a number of posters said Gore was finished. One stated that his legs are gone and he should hang it up. So today's performance was clearly illusory. His statistics can't be anything other than fake news.

Spiderweb Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 16 hours ago, Rocky Landing said: This is true. But, I think the combo of Gore/Motor/Yeldon is a pretty good trio-- Yeldon for his receiving ability. Kinda wish we had gone with Perry over Yeldon, though. Murphy was better than Yeldon. Yeldon plays way to softly. Very tentative runner, and while he may have talent as a receiving option, again his weakness show like on the one he dropped yesterday when he pulled up because he was going get hit. No toughness to his game. He would make a great flag football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliemets Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Something I like. Very few negative plays. Always seems to get something. Loved Shady but he sprinked in a lot of -3 and -5 yard plays with his positive yards. Gore doing what he was brought here to do. Need to get the other guy back though.

He has a chance to catch Walter Payton if he somehow keeps it up the next two seasons. I have not seen Gore once fake an injury to give offense a break from attacking defense. The announcers would say something like he would be out for the game, he'd take a play off and be back in with talk how he was such a warrior. Announcers Emmitt Smith deserved an Emmy daytime lifetime achievement award for his performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I'm happy for Shady in KC but I'm much happier with the Gore-Singletary tandem. To me Gore looks more effective than 2018 McCoy. On 9/22/2019 at 10:56 PM, Formerly Allan in MD said: But this past week a number of posters said Gore was finished.

BADOLBILZ Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It's funny but refreshing seeing fans appreciating Frank Gore for the variety of things he does to help the team............after years of people selectively ignoring the fact that McCoy was only contributing if and when he was gaining yardage with the ball........and hadn't even done that well in two years.

Nelius Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Cool to see the hate has chilled out a bit on Gore. Who else but Gore still punishes teams in the 4th quarter? And at 36 nonetheless, there truly isn't a back like him in the NFL. Ingram sort of but not really? Derrick Henry, but typically only for like half the season since you can always count on him to just disappear from multiple games? Gore is a legend - him and a healthy Singletary are going to be a deadly combo. Agree with the Yeldon whiff, though. Yuck. If he touches the ball 10 times you're almost guaranteed a fumble.

Dr.Sack Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Gore can do this another 4 or 5 seasons and take down Emmitt Smith’s all time rush record provided we have a healthy #1. The guy is fundamentally awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Kyle Brandt was on with Murphy and Tasker yesterday and had an interesting take on Gore, saying that if he continues to help the Bills win, this might be the year that truly helps him make the HOF. His point was that he's been considered an "aggregator" (I think that means just a guy who's accumulated great stats simply by playing forever) and his role this year could take him out of that category by showcasing him as a key contributor to the team's success. I think he has a point there. Edited September 25, 2019 by BillnutinHouston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many think Yeldon is a fumbling machine (not saying you do or don't) but it's not really so. In his career he has had 646 touches for 3,223 yards / 12 TDs / 5.0 yards per touch / 6 fumbles. His fumble last week was bad, he needs to not have any this Sunday. IF Devin is a no go, TJ has to perform well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 100% my pick for most important player outside Allen for the Bills this Sunday. I think this is going to be a gritty defensive struggle and if we can establish some run game and control ball/clock that's how the Bills will win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
