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. May i suggest it will be gritty both sides of the ball. I expect this game to be dirt dust and blood. very much looking forward to this scrum Go Bills !

Why was he playing with a ripped shoe? What was that all about? They said its an old shoe he's used since collage. Apparently he has several pairs but that one was pretty much spent.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 When Gore signed here he was mainly looked at as a short yardage RB, Grind out the clock for the win RB. He still has great vision and can run with power but I can’t see him hitting a hole and taking it in for a long TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Gore is a pleasure to watch for me. He get more than what i see. he gets stuffed he gets two. Dude has some of the best vision pre and post snap. Such a joy to watch a master of his art in action. You kids might look for the big play and fireworks, that is for Singletary to show. Frank does his job so darned well and does it quietly with brutal finesse. is there one guy you just know ? will never lose the ball to a fumble ? Much respect for Mr Gore from me : ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Importance of Gore? He averaged 5.0 per carry again today. We don't have anyone else on the roster who can carry that load. The change of pace back Singletary today averaged 3.7 ypa on 7 carries - he is not, at this point, a high volume carries guy.

Rocky Landing Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 After last week's performance vs. Washington, and the latest emergence of Motor, it's easy to imagine that Gore's touches are going to become more limited going forward. Hopefully, last week's drop in production is less a symptom of Gores age, and more a case of the way he was used-- Jauronball, as GunnerBill called it. With that in mind, I do hope he gets the opportunity to get another 85 yards, which would place him as the second all-time NFL rusher, passing Barry Sanders.

C'mon...barring injury, Gore will have plenty of chances to get 85 more yards this season. It's not like they will never give him the ball again.

It's not like they will never give him the ball again. I basically agree with this-- I think it is likely he will get the opportunity to continue to produce, and I very much hope he does. On the other hand..... He had 11 carries vs. Washington, and averaged 1.4 ypc. Singletary averaged 4.8. If Gore has another week like that, one has to assume they're going to start limiting his touches. And, given the short-yardage situational role they're already using him in now... I really hope he has a good game vs. the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Well, Gore has 73 yards left to Pass Barry Sanders. He's still on track to reach that milestone. But, he averaged 1.4 ypc on 11 carries the week before last, and only got five carries this last week for 2.4 ypc. That is paltry. He needs a good game vs. Miami this week.

Other RBs could have easily screwed that up. That's great 1 of his 4 runs through out the entire game if thats all they are going to use him then trade the guy to another team might just as well send Singletary with him he only got 8 carries the entire game !!

Yeldon - I want him no where near the field - if everyone is healthy. I am hoping Gore gets a job on this Bills staff - he has stated he wanted to go into coaching and was hoping to get a job on the previous Miami staff. I am not sure I want him as RB coach, but as an assistant with an emphasis on training and taking care of your body and just to have his presence there to help guide would be awesome.

I don’t think that will be the case next year. I think Yeldon would gain more yards if he got the carries Gore does. Of course, Yeldon is a bit of a fumble concern, so I wouldn't;t want him out there for that role. I have to think there is an unsigned, or practice squad guy that is better than Gore. I know the Bills won't replace him (unless he gets a pesky injury...), but he is terrible. Sure, he might have another decent game, a run or two that is good, but just about any decent back (Sinorise Perry?) given enough carries would do that. He is a liability, and his carries are wasted downs. 2 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Hell naw. Gore is there to dish out the punishment. To who, Bills fans?

Prickly Pete Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) If this is what he's gonna do for the rest of the season, he is a liability. 4 games without a run over 6 yards in 36 carries!
