Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Was anybody as impressed with our TE as I was. I know it was only 1 game but that was the best performance I have seen by a Bills TE in along long time. I was surprised he got the kind of separation he did. He's big, but apparently he must be pretty quick too. Kinda made me and the million other Bills' fans look silly for our outrage over not signing a FA TE.

Typical TBD Guy Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 No, I wasn't impressed at all. He needs to be cut this afternoon, with Michael Jasper taking his place as starting TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Where is the dude that was arguing Chandler was a mediocre TE without even seeing him play....dude looks like he is definitely not just a Derek Schouman type... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I was hoping that for a guy who finished 2nd all-time in catches for a TE at Iowa (behind some schlub named Dallas Clark), that his lack of catches was teams overlooking him in the passing game. I guess I was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmys Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It was a pleasant surprise to see Fitz throw to a tight end. After Chander's first catch I thought "wouldn't it be nice to see them trow to a tight end". Very nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 A productive TE changes the whole offense. If Chandler can play consistently week after week, the offense will exceed all expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastRochBillsfan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Awesome to see Chandler have a great day! Having a tight end to play like that will help us play with the big boys and help make this a well rounded offense. Finally. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Gailey kept telling us he liked the guy. Maybe we should have believed him. You can look at 10 years of film and be hard pressed to find a TE that involved in a Bills game plan. I was impressed. That first score was huge and the perfect time to use a TE. I will bet the Chiefs did not expect a pass to the TE on that play. It has been way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 He had a great game, and looks sharp. I'm willing to bet money KC didn't gameplan for him, though--he was wide open several times and no one outside Buffalo even knew about this guy. So...let's see how he does against Oakland. I am glad, however, that this team finally appears to have a TE who can block and catch. And enough of the "Gailey doesn't use tight ends" crowd. Every team needs a quality TE. This Bills fan hopes he is the next Metzalars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I've said several times that the Bills' TE's have the highest "thrown to/caught" percentage in the NFL, and that the problem was the lack of passes to the TE.

This Bills fan hopes he is the next Metzalars. We will see. 1) anyone that had a reasonable head on their shoulders argued that he likely wouldn't target a TE but that he uses what he has available. Ie- will he chase a FA Tony Gonzalez? Probably not. Will he maximize the talent he does have? Yes. 2) this team will have ups and downs. This was a big up. It's good to have some real vet leadership. It should help keep the downs minimal. 3) like you said - no one gameplanned for Chandler. KC may or may not be a good team this year. They were a big question mark if not a likely flop. Berry got dinged up. There's reason to hold our breathe. Although we did everything we could on the field, we still don't know what we played against or if we can be consistent week in and week out.

swnybillsfan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 he's on pace for 32 touchdowns, this guy is wicked awesome! seriously though, i love what i saw and now maybe we can put this guy in the "which receivers will step up" conversation. also, very nice to see fitz with another sure handed go-to guy today. also really liked what i saw from david nelson. the bigs came up pretty big!

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I do think we need to take into account that NO ONE expected Chandler. I mean, there wasn't anyone NEAR him on his second touchdown. The CBS commentators were practically APOLOGIZING to Chan about bringing up our lack of production at TE. You can bet your ass that Oakland will be guarding Chandler next week. But even then, we still win. It was when they pulled people to guard Chandler that they pulled guys off Stevie and Donny. The more people we force them to guard, the more people Fitz has to throw to. Great game Chandler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
