In an era of running games, the man led WRs in receiving for 2 straight years and came close to a 3rd.

Led what WRs, the Bills?

 

I looked it up, yes he led all the Bills wrs for 2 years including the mighty Lou Piccone, John Holland, Reggie Craig and other names most non-Bill fans have never heard off.  Chandler as I wrote was good but he was in an era when the Bills sucked and most of the offense was OJ.

Did not know this...but: Chandler's niece Sarah George Chester and her daughter Payton were two of the nine victims, along with Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, on board the helicopter that crashed in Calabasas, California on January 26, 2020.

Bob Chandler was a really good WR in an era where playing the position was not easy.  DB's could really be physical and abusive to WR's back then.  I remember he was fun to watch.  How long did he play for the Bills?

9 years with the Bills, another 3 with the Raiders, where he was a contributing member of a Super Bowl winner. 

 

Best season was 1976 with 61 catches, 824 yards, and 10 TD's for a bad Bills team back in the 14 game season timeframe.

Me too, I'm sure I was better at it than all of you,  but it's nice that you tried. 

 

No way.  When I was is "Bobby Chandler Mode" I could reach over the hook of a parked car and ***** a ball without bending the antenna!

Sidewalk catches along the hedge was also one of my specialties.

Most importantly, you had to be very careful near Mrs Watson’s rose bushes. Those thorns would GET YOU and you just had to make a business decision.

I grew up in South Cheektowaga and Mrs. Kozlowski lived in the same house as me.  It was a business decision for multiple reasons!

Thanks for the stats on Chandler.  The 1976 season was my first living in Buffalo.  We had a bad team back then.  But I remember Chandler was really good.  For some reason I remember we had a punt returner named Keith Moody.  Guy played CB also.  I think he had a punt return for a TD that year against the Jets.  Not sure how I remember that given I was 11 at the time.  LOL

But Chandler was a real technician and would have been really good in any era.

#5 in the NFL in catches in 1975

#2 in the NFL in catches in 1976

#2 in the NFL in catches in 1977

 

Tied for #2 in the NFL in receivingTDs in 1980

Tied for #3 in the NFL in receiving TDs in 1976

 

He was damn good.
