It was about what I expected.
In the original thread on this, I was the first to mention that I thought it was likely premeditated. I hadn't seen the video but you develop instincts after awhile. I guessed (corroborated later) that this heckling had been going on for a few days.
Kudos, then--your instincts were right on.
I mentioned the heckling in my thread about the first Saturday camp. They were all adults. It goes on every day no doubt. Chan picked the time everything was in place ofr a perfect youtube moment: last day, press with cameras running, a few kids to chide.

What were you expecting?
Gailey to be waving his fist? Fans throwing their arms up in frustration upon being told that no autographs would be signed? Cheering from the players? A murmur of excitement from the media as the security detail mobilized?
Look, it was bound to be pretty innocuous.
But symbolically, it was an important moment.
Well, not much initially, until I went through all the posts devoted to the "Chandemonium". I'm guessing most who commented early on were expecting something else also, when they viewed the vid subsequently.
Doesn't change anything---although CG waving over the cameras on his way to the "beat down" kind of takes the edge off his "spontaneous act" of indignant rage, don't you think? The "watch this, guys" effect adds a layer of cheese to the event.
Otherwise, it's nice to see him standing up for his men--even in a somewhat staged event.
-
That's it? Expected something else---at least some adults in the group. He yelled at a group of about 10 kids, it seems. I can tell you that I witnessed many adults heckling TE way back in the first week--certainly within earshot of Gailey.
Why wait until the last day of camp to go off on a few kids? Was it because the cameras were right there? You can see him waving them over to follow him.

I agree. He's 22 and has played one season. He should just quit now and save himself the trouble. That's the attitude.
But hopefully, we can get some more Maybin bashing. It always gets fresher.
So Jauron is a zombie because he shows no emotion. Edwards sucks because he doesn't scream at players like Marino and plays it safe. Now Maybin sucks because he plays with emotion?
Watch the gametape. Maybin is always the first to congratulate his teammates. He has fire and I like that. Of all the thing to criticize Maybin, this seems silly.
No, but he doesn't seem to have caught on that he is playing against other team's backups and future cuts--and that therefore, his woofing on these guys after routine plays looks silly.
I don't see other backup players acting routinely like this in the preseason.

Possibly, but highly unlikely. Pat White only got three snaps in all of their preseason games and two of those snaps were to kneel the ball. He's a goner.
BTW. The all-mighty Parcells has really dropped the ball with some free agent signings as well as draft picks, such as, Pat White, Enest Wilford, Jake Grove, Gibril Wilson, Patrick Turner, Justin Smiley, Phillip Merling, and Akin Ayodele.
Yeah, he should give back the rings.
I think it's about time for the Bill Parcells Law Of Diminishing Returns (BPLODR for short) to kick in...the Fish are O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D this season.
Phins and Jets are over-rated. Pats* are old. Our team, regardless of what some of the keen football minds on this board know as fact, is a bit on an enigma. We are young, fast, and only on the upswing. We will the shocker this year.
Are the Jets overrated because they went to the AFCC game last year?
And who is hyping the Dolphins? They are overrated??
-
Chan also said he is "excited" about what Parrish is going to bring to the offense. That will ruffle some feathers around here -- you know, the crowd who "know" Roscoe can't cut it as a WR simply because the knuckleheads who have been designing game plans for the past four years have had their heads up their butts.
Maybe CG has told Roscoe the secret of evading a defender (and not getting plastered) immediately after each catch.

Found this story online browsing around some football news...
The Cleveland Plain Dealer lists rookie Colt McCoy as one player in need of a strong showing over the final two games to make the Browns' roster.
It's exceedingly rare for an NFL team to give up on a third-round pick after one preseason, and it's hard to imagine McCoy passing through waivers. Still, McCoy has been dreadful in exhibition action (5-of-12 for 25 yards, two interceptions) and camp scrimmages while Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace have shined.
No, I dont want us to pick him up if he is put on waivers, I dont think he would make it in Buffalo. LeFevour is in danger of being cut in Chi too...this all just further illustrates how underwhelming this past QB class was and how it makes more sense to see what our guys can do this year and look at a QB next year if they falter.
This team has, by far, the worst QB roster in the league---and they are gonna dump their 3rd round pick in camp? What a mess!
The hype for next year's crop of QBs is already deafening. It's crazy.
-
Yes...so can we FINALLY now put the stupid "hes wearing gloves becuase hes afraid of the cold" claptrap to rest?
Why is it manly for every player other than the QB to wear gloves all season? Isn't he the only one handling the ball on every play? Can't he decide if it's in his best interest to use a glove for better grip?
This is the dumbest criticism ever leveled against a QB.
-
Thought this looked familiar!
WTF??
What's next---a thread about ESPN's anti-Bills bias?
-
According to an article (I think it was by Ross Tucker) on the relative importance of each OL position, RG was the most important interior OL spot. So putting Wood there makes the most sense.
I suppose other OL experts may have different opinions, the Tucker article made sense.
Wasn't Ross Tucker a RG?
-
To phrase it better, they both played on talent offenses. But Trent was a guy who didn't produce a lot but was thought to have upside and MIGHT be a good investment as a 3rd rounder. Locker has produced and talent wise is thought of one of the most physically gifted QBs in a very long time.
What has Locker produced?
-
I know that Buffalo has been looked down upon for many years by the national media, but what the hell is up with ESPN this year? I swear Ralph must have burned one of their producers, because every analyst LOVES hating on the Bills. I know this has been discussed before, but in the past few months, our Bills have been torn apart exponentially more than ever before. I just don't understand how the think "Buffalo is on the clock". The Bills are NOT THAT BAD!
-We have a better coaching staff
-Many of our players have another year of experience
-We won 6 games last year, despite having half of the team on IR
-We were in almost every single game until the end last year
There are many more reasons to believe we will win more than 1 or 2 games. Feel free to give me more
Head to the many, many other threads devoted to this exact topic.

How do I see more than one page of an individual's previous posts?
-
To get the results as posts and not topics, you have to use the advanced search function, and choose to have the results as posts. The advanced search option is to the right of the red magnifying glass. It looks like a gear, or a "configuration" icon.
Thanks Dean.

When searching specific phrases or paraphrased quotes, the results just list the topics that match, not the individual posts.
Am I doing it wrong?

My dream for the Bills has actually been to dispense with a TE oriented O in favor of an east coast version of the Greatest Show on Earth passing oriented attack ala St. L.
Most folks reject this approach figuring that what Buffalo is all about particularly in the bad weather of December has got to be about a grind it out ground game and this means means a blocking TE style.
Fine, except that the classic St. L style actually did feature a blocking TE who was in no way a receiving target At its peaks the TEs would have zero or maybe 1 reception a year and the show came from a steady diet of three receiver sets utilizing a 1 back set to give them a 3rd WR.
The TE was simply a max protect addition since they were passing a lot with a Faulk type as the running/receiving RB.
With loss of Schuman for an unknown period of time and the loss of Nelaon for the first four games and any future problems this may be the time to formulate a Bills specific version of a wintereized St. Louis style game.
My sense is that this new version would employ our 3 very good RB with two of them lining up as a wideout from time to time. We would give up on trying to find the next Tony Gonzalez at TE as we repetitively have failed at doing and instead look for folks who are more like good H-backs (hard to find but easier than finding a Gonzalez type)
Too bad Martz wasn't available this off season.
Oh, wait...

How is this "new territory" for Losman??
His last 4 season:
Backup to Edwards on a crappy Bills team.
Out of the League and playing A ball for mortgage money.
3rd string (2 behind Jamarcus Russell!) on the awful Raiders
3rd string behind aging and brittle Hasselhoff and Charlie Somebody.
Yeah, Seattle must be a real dash of cold water on ol' JP's career aspirations.
-
I whole heartedly agree with this statement. IMO late camp trades won't be Buddy's style. My guess will be Schouman will go on the PUP list and a free agent vetran will be brought in. If the Vet works out Schouman will either stay on the PUP for the year or get cut. The guy can't stay healthy and IMO is not really all that good anyway.
Fitzy gets cut out right before the season starts and Brohm will be the number 2. Again... Just MHO.
What free agent veteran?
-
Like it or not, Schouman might be the best TE on the Bills roster right now, that isn't suspended. Unless of course Klopfenstein is back on the roster today. I can't keep track with that guy.
Stupar is okay but he honestly doesn't possess the all around tools that Schouman has. I just hope Schouman's injury isn't long term. Schouman's loss might be somewhat devastating to a team that is really thin at a vital position.
Nah---the Bills obviously haven't considered TE a "vital position" for a very long time.

Oh yeah!! Ba BOOM!!

Exactly what is it about me that attracts you so?
I know the thread title didn't say "back door left open" but shouldn't you be greasin' up and 'punchin' it in your own 'benchmen' buddies on...
Herring Cove ????
For a guy who devoted a pregame thread to picking the right wine to watch the game with and who regularly discusses gay hangouts, you sure spend a lot of time here questioning the sexuality of others. What are we to make of that?
What "attracts me"? I don't know-why do people sometimes just feel like shooting fish in a barrel? Your comments (like your "TE will break his hand following through on his first pass" was so awesome, you used it in 2 different threads) lend themselves to ridicule. See Albaany, N.Y.

How's your boy Graham Harrell doing, Super Scout?
Cut more times than Nicole & Ron.
Oh yeah!! Ba BOOM!!
Well put Albany.

It's 2010 and the Bills haven't had a TE catch 35 balls since 2001. But I know the QB's have had nothing to do with that.
It's because the TEs haven't been useful as receivers, i.e.:sucked.

I think once Gailey watches the game film he'll realize that Brohm should start the next game against the 1's. Like many of you, I wasn't overly impressed with Edwards except the one long pass to Evans. Brohm looked the part of an NFL QB. Calm, poised, great arm and good command.
Here's a quote that bodes well for BB:
Gailey was asked if he would consider starting Brohm in a preseason game. Buffalo’s head coach left the door open.
“Would we (consider it)? Oh sure,” said Gailey. “We’d consider using any of them that we’ve got. Yeah I’ll consider it.”

Brohm struggled to punch it in against benchmen.

Agreed on all counts. All the Edwards lovers can do is harp on the one long bomb where evans was so wide open ANY of us on the board could have hit him for a TD. Just like last week, checkdown, skiddish and in the huddle and coming to the LOS the guy is just blah. No fire, no emotion just blah. Thurman talked about this fact this offseason the guy has no fire.
I am glad we have about 50 damn good DB's because our pass rush and LB's in general flat suck. Maybe its time to trade a couple DB's away to say Baltimore and get some LB / DL help in here.
TE looked much better than last week. He was executing the called plays. Had another perfect timing pass to Johnson that would have been an easy catch if not for obvious PI.
It's "skittish", sporto.
Here's the video of Gailey's discussion with the heckler's

Security officials?? To subdue 5 or 10 boys and girls (chanting "Maybin, Maybin!") armed with pens and programs?
Here's a heads up--the wave to the camera WAS the "heads up", jw.
I'm not "unhappy" about this little bit of fluff. I just don't mind pointing out some BS when I see it. A reporter might do the same (minus Chris Brown). Perhaps you would have too...alas: "but (I) was forced to talk to coach and other players about what happened." Forced?
