How many games will it take Frank Gore to rush for 46 yards and reach 3rd place all-time?

[Airbornetrooper]

Frank Gore is currently sitting at 4th place all time behind Barry Sanders. Despite a high amount of touches early on, his snaps and rushing totals have decreased as of late. It will be interesting to see how long this takes.

 

His last four games have seen totals of 

 

27 yards (Dolphins)

12 yards (Browns)

15 yards (Redskins)

34 yards (Eagles)

I'm waffling.  I could see it Sunday but the way they didn't take their foot off the gas against Miami means we might not see him grinding at the end of the game.  Dallas would be a nationally televised game and a great story.  Neither team is terrible against the run with Denver being 11th and Dallas being 15th. 

 

I'm hoping for this Sunday but voted for Thursday.  Short weeks are tough for defenses and someone who runs using a punishing style should do well.

Seems like he's being used as the backup / short run plays 

 

I went with 3.  

 

[TroutDog]

I rolled with two. The Broncos D is no joke so doubt it will happen this week...but would love it if it did while at home.

I wonder if being that close will give him some extra juice.  Honestly he’s not looked very sprite lately.

Bingo! That will be an amazing stage for this accomplishment.  This will be something that the entire nation will be able to see. It'll break my heart a little bit cuz I do believe that Barry is the greatest RB in history, but what better person to do it then Gore, especially in a Bills uniform.

[Playoffs?]

Would love it if he ripped off a 46 yard run on the first play of the Denver game

Barry still did it by age 29 thats a huge difference

Its gonna happen on Thanksgiving

This week. Denver just had a terrible loss. Get a few turnovers off their young QB and then pound them into submission. They haven’t quit yet this year but they have to be close.

And then rides off into the sunset.. Can only hope 

[theAteam]

IIRC Denver is good against the run

[VW82]

Bet it happens @ Dallas. Our next five opponents are all ranked in the top half of the league in run D so there are no easy games. Once he gets close I have to think we'll make it a priority unless he's totally ineffective. 

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Gore is running with 20 lb cement shoes. He can’t beat anyone to the outside and his cut back ability is completely gone. If we cut Gore right now nobody would sign him. 

 

If Singletary has problems holding onto the football our RB position is in big trouble. 

 

I would just just like to add that Yeldon sucks and would also not be signed if released.

I think there was a huge mistake made in putting Wade to the PS. At least he showed burst and playmaking ability.

Shady too. He could have helped.  It will be interesting to see what Wade does next year. This is probably a big learning year for him.

Well they are 11th, and we are only 18th against the run.  We are better on both categories on offense, and better on pass defense, but not by much.

[GottaRun]

I hope we see it Sunday but it would be cool for it to happen during the big Thanksgiving broadcast.  

[Rocky Landing]

Considering how they are using him, his average YPC, the declining number of touches he is getting, and our upcoming schedule, I'm going with the Steelers game, 12/15. Maybe the game after.

As raw as Wade is, I think he would have been better to keep this year than Yeldon. The limited game action he might have seen is still better for his development than sitting on the practice squad. 

[3rdand12]

one more.

 O line better give him some love sunday

[SirAndrew]

Depends how long it takes him to get 46 carries, so I voted more than 3.
