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.

Rocky Landing Posted November 11, 2019 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 !!
Rocky Landing Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 46 rushing yards to go before passing Barry Sanders! GO GORE!
Prickly Pete Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 At this point, does anyone else get a letdown whenever they see #20 on the field? I'd rather see Yeldon out there, and let DiMarco handle the "just hold onto the ball and don't fumble" plays.

I don’t think that will be the case next year.

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 do not see him retiring. IF he is not on a roster game 1 he will keep in shape and wait for a team to have an injury or cut.

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 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! How does anyone defend his performance? Something like "He's not there to gain yards, it's his intangibles"?

A younger version would be a good add, maybe they'll even draft a guy. https://nfltraderumors.co/2020-nfl-free-agent-list/ Edited December 1, 2019 by keepthefaith

The defense is expecting a run and simply wrapping him at the LOS. He does not have that speed anymore to bull-rush people past th eLOS by himself, All 1st and 2nd downs are Singletary's
