Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Gore is an all time stud. But... he’s slow to the edge, and no longer appears to be able to find that extra yard or two. especially compared to Devin squirming his way to yards... he just look washed up. Is he this years’ Tolbert? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 sadly, yes. Still think he passes Barry Sanders at home in a couple weeks, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 No. He's not getting any carriers to get into flow of game. He needs the reps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I don't know if Bill Walsh coined the phrase " it's better too get rid of a player a year early rather than a year late". But he said it a lot. Gore and another older Bill are feel good story's. But simply stop gaps. As for fitting the "process" crap. It helps if these guys aren't running on fumes. the rookie should be the featured back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK Fan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 A little but he is still a great runner between the tackles. He no longer has the speed to make the runs to the outside. Those runs should be going to Singletarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Yes he does. He is old and as the season is going on his age is showing more and more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 No. He’s incredibly old and had no juice left 3 years ago. I will give it to him that through vision alone he was acceptable against New England but the guys legs have been shot before day 1. The single most aggravating thing about this Bills season is the Bills ignorance to seeing what they have at RB. Singletary should be getting 90% of the RB touches and about 60% of the total touches in this offense. The constant use of Frank Gore (when he’s clearly finished) has made me more upset then anything else. That’s not Gores fault. It’s the Bills Coaching staff. Gore didn’t run out of juice. He hasn’t had juice in 3 years. It’s just pure grit that he gets anything. The guy should be getting less then 3 touches a game but our ####### OC is using him more then our stud rookie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Out of juice. Lets get him over the line for his record, treat him with respect, and use Singletary as much a ***** possible lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're saying is that because we don't have a QB who is good at throwing the football, we should run a lot more than we do. I actually agree, but would prefer to throw a lot more with a new QB. Gore has lost at least 1 step and I can't imagine him playing next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince88 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Out of respect he is playing. I don't mind him getting 5 or 6 a game. I would much rather we get a 2 score lead then feature him to get him the yards he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he this years’ Tolbert? He's probably pissed because they aren't using him enough to get his heart beat above 65 BPM !! I have been harping on this a lot i know but yesterday they only ran Singletary 8 times out of being on the field 64 % of the time & Gore only got 4 carries in the entire game so if your not going to use the guys to at least break a sweat then why should he give his all when they do use him !! What a waste of talent all the way around in the RB room !! Dabol needs to get his S**T together & use the talent he has available for more than a blocker !!

JoPar_v2 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I know he fumbles, but they may want to activate Yeldon to get some extra juice in the backfield. You could deactivate, i don’t know Lee Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 He's not very good anymore, but the run blocking/scheme remains a problem. This new cast of characters on the OL are big, but they actually grade out better as pass blockers. Bob Johnson hasn't really been a huge upgrade over Castillo in terms of run game coordinator. Very predictable and almost never is there misdirection that fools the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Definately noticing a slow down......he is being used in short yardage situations now and is doing just that......short yardage. I would not keep him past this year.....I want a back that has Gores size but has game breaking ability to go with Devin SIngletary's ultra productiveness of over 6 yards a carry but doesnt have home run speed...... I think we need to get a little younger there next year...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is old and as the season is going on his age is showing more and more. Let Singletary learn from the HOF RB, AND carry the load. It’s time. Gore is a good guy to learn from, but he should be limited to only spot duty at this point. He’s solid to pick up a blitz or hold onto the ball, but this is one more position where we need to upgrade. I appreciate what he has given us to this point (it’s honestly more than I expected), and he can still play the backup roll, but it’s time to see how much Singletary can handle. .

gobills1212 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Gore has done what he needed to do - and arguably more. He will have a few more solid runs in him this year, but hopefully in a reserve roll for the odd change of pace. DS needs a tape job? Enter Gore. Clock chewing? Gore can be trusted. Gotta get big and use a battering ram? Agree or disagree, Gore. Id said all year for good or bad, better or worse, Gore is always good for 2 yrds. 2nd and 10? 2 yrds. 3rd and 1? 2 yrds. That goaline stuffing served with the Skins game killed that BUT he still serves a purpose and really, he shouldnt be a feature back at this point anyway. One thing I do know for ABSOLUTE sure?? I trust Gore 100000000000x more than Yedlon. Obviously they do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people suggested this a few weeks back and were roundly ridiculed. I suggested a 5th. The OC doesn't trust an undersized scat back from a smaller school, a 36 yr old RB is running out of juice at midseason, and Yeldon fumbles at very inopportune moments. What a series of unfortunate surprises. Who could have possibly seen this coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
