L.EvansHands Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 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.

Never NEVER Give-up Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 A few thoughts . . . A great receiver with Biletnikoff-hands Not fast, but always got open and did I say he had great hands? Died way-too-young from an aggressive lung cancer within 4 months of his diagnosis at age 45 in '95. I'm also thinking Ed Kilgore was a little handsy in the youtube clip/interview! 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote

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. Quote
