Buffalo Bills offense: Frank Gore

If Josh Allen is out for the game, the Buffalo Bills are going to be missing their second leading rusher as well as their quarterback.

I think this will cause a shift in the offense away from QB misdirection and chunk plays and it will be a much more concentrated focus on getting Frank Gore and that running game going.

If you are going to bet on a 30+ running back, Gore seems like the right bet right now. He is averaging over 4 YPC and he isn’t turning the ball over either.

Gore is averaging a 1st down on every 4th rush and the Titans need to be able to drop that number dramatically if they are going to force the Bills into passing situations. To do that they are going to need a big day from their young linebackers.

Even if those two have a good day, the chances are that Gore requires more players to bring him down because he is just so slippery despite his age.

If the Bills offense is going to have a big day, a large part of it is going to have to come from Gore.
