Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Singletary is really all we have at RB right now. If he goes down I think we are in deep *****. Gore looks so so so so slow out there, we need to bring back Wade or get somebody off a PS.

I think that is an over-reaction to today’s one game, unless I am misinterpreting your use of the word today. 1 minute ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: Singletary is really all we have at RB right now.

HOUSE Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Can we un suck Yeldon for just one more week?

berg1029 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Not worried about Gore. He looked great last year and in preseason. He'll be just fine doing whatever he is asked to do.. and he will usually do it well. It's just one game
JimmyNoodles Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Gore lacked power today. Could be just one game. But if he looks bad next week, he's probably hit the wall. We don't need a replacement like Singletary, we need a power or short yardage back.
Utah John Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Did Gore fumble? Did he miss any assignments in pass protection? Does he help Singletary prepare for the pro game and being a professional? The guy is doing his job and he provides leadership. I am glad to have him on the team and on the field. The times he was running in the first half, the Jets still had their MLB in the game. Him getting hurt seemed to have a lot to do with the Bills' O suddenly getting going -- although that's also when Singletary came in. Gore still has gas in the tank for one more solid year before he hangs em up and starts counting down to the HOF.

Get Murphy back as the 2 and use Yeldon on passing downs. Wow it was 1 game maybe we should give him a little bit of time, not to mention the blocking sucked on most of his carries no holes to be had.

Analytics questions whether you should EVER actually run the ball considering the large gap in predicted sucess rate and average yards that passes have over runs. Come enter the 21st century with us and modern football where teams run it 40% or less Relax chief. When they started running the ball more regularly things opened up. Today called for a more balanced attack. Each game is different.
Perk71 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I like Gore finishing out the game. Ball security. 1-0 Go Bills! 1

I feel like the Bills may have found a budding superstar in Singletary. At first his hands seemed suspect. Perhaps it was nerves. But once we started handing him the ball, our entire offense changed. Singletary pulled our offense out of the mud today and was probably the biggest reason we won. On the flip side, Frank Gore looked finished. At some point this guys age has to start showing. The guy has been a wonderful player for a very long time and has compiled a hall of fame career. Every time we handed this guy the ball today he looked slow. It reminded me a lot of last year with Shady. Other then pass protection, I can’t see any reason to even bother with Gore. It was a momentum killer to bring this guy back on the field for that last possession. Very frustrating to watch. Going forward, I would much rather see a combination of Singletary and Yeldon. I seem to like Yeldon a lot more then most people. He can do a lot and has fresh legs. Bringing Gore here from day 1 has seemed pointless to me and all today did was further that in my mind. I think we have a lot to like about on offense. Gore at this point is just dead weight. Last year it did. His career is over. 11 minutes ago, The Bills Blog said: Murphy > Gore But The Process values Gore for reasons other than play on the field. Agreed.I thought he earned the spot when he returned the ball in preseason.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 This is why I was upset that we dropped Shady. We had the cap space. Having a nice 1-2 punch with Devin/Shady would be sweet with Gore/Yeldon as change of pace. Shady racked up 81 yds on 10 carries today when he was not the lead carrier. If Devin misses time we are toast. You can never have enough playmakers and throwing one out for nothing to a contender makes it even tougher to swallow. Gore should be the vet mentor who helps keep a cohesive locker room. Shady was the reason he came here. It just doesn't make sense and I think we paid for the mistake again today. Almost any other defense and we'd be down 10-17 pts at the half. We need to have a strong run game to make it to the playoffs.

The Bills Blog Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Upon further review, Gore's body language also leaves a lot to be desired, which is surprising to see.

The story is his son talked him into coming back and play. Frank looked spent today. I was hoping he'd be a more productive version of Mike Tolbert. At this point I'd cut him and get Murphy back but that's just me?

I don't think he has power anymore. Look at his legs even in Miami and it's kind of shocking how much smaller he is.
