I have a theory. Maybe not an accurate theory but one none the less. I'm not hearing anything about exotic blitz packages and such this game. Seems kind of strange because Grossman is pretty easy to rattle. I'm wondering if the coaches are simply not calling them so they can evaluate our horrible corners. Of course, the Skins aren't throwing much. They have been killing us with power sweeps to the outside.

Tuel isn't hitting anything.

Shanny is a master of zone blocking schemes. His teams always take nobodies and turn them into rushing leaders.

I haven't seen the blitzes being dialed this game.

Can't be an worse than the Washington commentators.

I'll play. How about I throw a football at your chest while you are running toward me. How many do you really think you are going to catch out of 10 tries? You're not think here. And you are completely ignoring physics. Obviously you have never played receiver either.

Gilmore was running toward the ball. Do you know how hard it is to catch a football when you running toward it? Still he's a pro and that was right in his chest.....

You'd think as many times as they run to the left, the defense would pick up on that.

I used like watching Sam Gash blow defenders up.

Democrat & Chronicle did a piece on this too. Linky

I'm going to offer my opinion although I don't really hold out much hope many here can see past their complete favoritism for EJ. And BTW, I really think EJ is the clear starter for a number of reasons. I'm getting a bit irritated however, by the uncouth and derogatory comments about Kolb. The guy has all ready had to endure the embarrassment of slipping on a rubber mat and the wise cracks from not only the fans but his own team mates as well. I'm pretty certain his skin is thick enough to deal with that and move on. But before he could get in the game, he learns his grandmother passed and has to take some time to be with family. When he gets back and and gets right back in the game, he doesn't do as well as he feels he should. I even read a comment about fans booing him, and he responds by saying he would boo himself too. I give him some credit for being stand up and simply moving on. What I can't abide by is the utter childish reactions by folks who think it's OK to continue with their uncouth, derogatory rants. The guy is an athlete on "OUR" team. He may not be the starter, but he does deserve better from those who call themselves Buffalo Bills fans. And BTW, I often hear grumblings such as "He had his chance in Philly and Arizona". As far as I am concerned and I'm pretty sure the coaches are concerned, he got a clean slate the moment he became a Buffalo Bill. I'm sitting down now and watching the Minnesota game on DTV right now for the first time and I can assure you, my opinion won't change. I'm going to give the guy a fair shot to redeem himself. Some won't. Some will continue to act like whiny cry babies because they can't handle a little adversity.

He got hurt and then lost a family member. Get the facts right and don't make crap up just because you don't want him to start.

Naw...Kolb had to hurt his knee in order for it to work. This was planned out for quite some time.

Soooouuuunnnds good. Hope your right.

From the BB website....... Apparently the best TE in Syracuse history.....not that that is saying much.

Or........maybe Kolb is getting the exotic blitzes because he has more experience and because it's an area of his game that he obviously needs to work on. Manuel getting more vanilla looks while watching Kolb under fire is all about bringing him along more slowly and giving him time to learn effectively. The last day of practice, the defense worked in a few more blitz packages against Manuel. I believe Manuel will be seeing more and more exotic blitzes throughout camp and Kolb will continue to see everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him. By the end of camp, it will be clear who the starter should be. It will be obvious to us, to members of the team and the coaches. What the coaches are doing is trying to improve the play of every player on the team.....even Kolb.

LOL.....that's what I was thinking!

Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 6m What has stood out to me so far in this first Bills training-camp session is that the receivers have torched the defensive backs.

Really glad things worked out for you. Hopefully, I can do the same when the time comes.

I left DTV 10 yrs ago and have bounced back and forth between TWC and Dish network since. When I looked at DTVs offer to new customers, I could hardly pass it up. The 2 yr contract stinks, but for the first yr it's a pretty good deal. I can live with the additional charges for the Genie even though I was pretty shocked by how much they charge for it considering installation is free. I can see how people are not happy with DTVs regular pricing though. My package would be $78 per month plus the cost of ST and the Genie. That's a lot. I just won't be getting ST next yr. I like having TV but that's just not an acceptable level to pay for programming in my opinion. I've lived without ST for 10yrs now and I can live without it next yr too.

Good god!!! Why on earth would you need 3 TBs?

Johnny, if I were you, I'd take the offer from Dish Network for a year or two(don't know how long they make you sign a contract for). Then just go back to DTV. I do this with my car insurance all the time. The second they up my rates, I switch to another one. Of course with DTV you only get free ST for one yr when you sign a 2 yr contract. You could always just tell them you are switching to Dishnetwork unless they offer you a better deal. They certainly won't want to lose you for a customer. Wait to see what they offer.

Just got my DTV this past week. Free Sunday Ticket for 1st year $38 off the bill per month for 1st year 3 months free premium channels 1 Free Genie and 1 free mini Genie Installation free Only downside is a 2 yr contract. Paid $7 initially for getting it set up. First bill is due August 1st for $65. Got the Ultimate package which is on grade lower than the Premier package. Not sure what taxes setup fees are. I just know that when I signed up the package I ordered was listed at $49/month. I'll have to wait for the following month to see if the bill stays at $65. Perhaps I'm paying extra for the Genie per month. Guess I'll have read the billing statement to understand a little better. After reviewing the bill, I see the Genie is 25/month!!! Wow.

I just hope they don't cave and allow a clause to be inserted into the 1yr contract allowing Byrd to walk next year to the highest bidder. Bills should retain the right to tag him again next year. If they cave, the Bills then can't get compensatory picks next year if traded. Stick to your guns Doug.....it ain't over yet.
