Source: Chandler to Patriots

[Joe Fo Sho]

Figures.

It seemed like Chandler always had his best games against New England for some reason.

[jpdex12]

Now he can drop big third down catches for them!

[casdhf]

And follow it up by catching a 4th and 20. We are going to miss this guy, believe it or not.

[Pinkerton Security]

And follow it up by catching a 4th and 20. We are going to miss this guy, believe it or not.

IF we get Clay, no we will not miss him. I love how people hated on Stevie for being inconsistent yet Chandler is one of the most inconsistent players we've had in the last 5 years.

[justasportsfan]

Chandler on one side and Gronk on the other. Who are our safeties going to cover?

[Joe Fo Sho]

Chandler on one side and Gronk on the other. Who are our safeties going to cover?

HAHAHA

[Strongman]

He's actually a good fit for the Patriots since they aren't going to try and use him as a #1 like we were.

[better days]

He's actually a good fit for the Patriots since they aren't going to try and use him as a #1 like we were.

Yeah, Chandler will be a good #3 TE for the Pats*

[Mahdi]

Chandler is actually a great add for the Pats and will be tough to cover. Brady is accurate. Chandler is a big guy and makes tough catches.

[better days]

Chandler is actually a great add for the Pats and will be tough to cover. Brady is accurate. Chandler is a big guy and makes tough catches.

And he drops the EASY catches.

[Strongman]

It will be interesting to see if he stops fumbling while on the Pats*.

[paladin warrior]

Aaawww- f.c.k. .,Why he do that. .He should a other team . Not with Cheater (2) Patriot.

[better days]

Chandler is actually a great add for the Pats and will be tough to cover. Brady is accurate. Chandler is a big guy and makes tough catches.

And for such a BIG Guy, you would think he would be able to block.

[USC_Gamecock]

That sucks -- Chandler made more big plays than bad plays for the Bills.

[better days]

That sucks -- Chandler made more big plays than bad plays for the Bills.

I liked Chandler, he did make some big plays for the Bills.

But his bad plays came at critical times. The Bills would have won over the Chiefs a couple years ago if Chandler did not drop an easy catch.

[Thurmal]

I'll bet Chandler flourishes in an offense that knows how to use him. I'll put the O/U on his TDs at 7.

[justasportsfan]

And he drops the EASY catches.

oh you're just being a homer. He catches more than he drops. The Pats have another 6'9 weapon in the endzone.

Maybe Robey and his 5'8 stature can cover a 6'9" whiteboy.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

And he drops the EASY catches.

If only the Pats had some method for making the footballs easier to catch and harder to fumble...

:rofl:

[Strongman]

I doubt he'll be on the field much.

[Strongman]

If only the Pats had some method for making the footballs easier to catch and harder to fumble...

:rofl:

Yep, that why it will be interesting to watch. His fumble rate is about 1 out of 49 times he gets the ball. Someone like Antonio Gates is closer to 1 out of 113.

[RedEyE]

Hate this. He is an above average TE that instantly gets better being in Belicheats system.

[YardRat]

Balls.

[The Jokeman]

I had a feeling the Patriots would pursue him. Now there's talk they are looking at Stevie Johnson.

[Strongman]

I had a feeling the Patriots would pursue him. Now there's talk they are looking at Stevie Johnson.

With is unconventional route running, I don't see how he would be a good fit for them. He'd give Marsha fits.

[The Jokeman]

Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to figure a way to get Stevie the ball am sure Marsha could too.

[HHURRICANE]

And follow it up by catching a 4th and 20. We are going to miss this guy, believe it or not.

This might be your best post with such few words.

A lot of hate for a guy who made some big catches and played hard.

As it stands right now I don't see a TE better on our roster.

[better days]

So far it looks like Chandler is the Pats* big signing of the offseason.

I am fine with that. At least Chandler knows nothing about the offense to tell the CHEATERS.

The Bills, Fins & Jets all made improvements to their team.

The Pats* lost Revis but signed Chandler.

[chris66]

With is unconventional route running, I don't see how he would be a good fit for them. He'd give Marsha fits.

As long as he gets to his spot when he is suppose to Brady will like him just fine. I just dont think that the Pats need another slot receiver

[Strongman]

The where and when is the problem. I can't stand Brady or the Cheats, but I do have to admit part of what makes their offense efficient is the precision and timing of it (i.e. Brady takes 5 steps backs and throws). I've seen a few games where Cry-Brady was having a fit because his receivers weren't in exactly the right spot. That's not Stevie's strong suit.

Stevie is somewhat of a primodonna, so I don't think he and Brady will ever see eye-to-eye. The more I think about it, I kind of hope he signs.

I would rather see Stevie sign with the Pats* than the Jets.

I agree. Stevie and Fitz do have a little chemistry together and can be dangerous at times.

—Former Bills tight end Scott Chandler has been working with fellow TE Rob Gronkowski and QB Tom Brady on combination routes in the red zone, and Reiss calls them the “Twin Towers,” saying the plan could be for the 6-7 Chandler and 6-6 Gronk to create matchup problems for opponents in the red zone.

https://twitter.com/MikeReiss

[Mr. Miyagi]

I wish Chandler best of luck in his career. Just not when he plays against us. He was always a good Buffalo guy.

https://vine.co/v/O1ghXp73QQn

[BertSquirtgum]

I wish him the worst

[Night Train]

I'm glad the Bills decided to upgrade the TE position with Clay and O'Leary.


Respect the Pats but no longer fear them. Bring them on.

[HHURRICANE]

I'll bet anyone that Chandler will be terrific in New England. This sucks because we elected to get rid of him.

[better days]

And Stevie signed with the Chargers.

[Goobylal]

I'll bet anyone that Chandler will be terrific in New England. This sucks because we elected to get rid of him.
Define "terrific." As in stats.

[Mace]

Define "terrific." As in stats.

I'm with you on this one.

[YardRat]

I bet he has his best year, which would be more than 53 catches, 655 yards and 6 TD's.

[Mace]

I'll bet you !

[YardRat]

I'll bet you !

OK. What are the stakes?

[better days]

I read the Pats* are going to use Gronk & Chandler together in the Red Zone.

They are calling it the twin towers.

I think they could have success with that against a lot of teams.

But I think Rex will have a defense for it.

[BertSquirtgum]

I hope Chandler and Gronkowski run into each other going over the middle and tear each other's ACLs.

[Jimkelly12203]

Chandler had some extreme moments here (good and bad). What drove me crazy was not the drops, but the plays where he would catch the ball in stride for a huge 3rd and long conversion only to fumble it up the field after getting 5+ YAC. The guy was the absolute master of that maddening play. Overall, however, I have to admit that he was a net positive for the team. Not by much but a net positive. Now that he's with the cheaters you can bet your ass he's going to be 100% more effective and drive us crazy.

Good thing he went to the only team in the NFL that coaches their players to hold on to the football, that should help him with the drops/fumbles. Unless Belichick doesn't coach his players to do that this year, I guess we'll see.

I heard that Patriots won't be emphasizing ball control this year nearly as much as they have in years past...

"twin towers?" Are there any good linebackers of Saudi decent in the league?

Either that or he will drive Belicheat crazy with his fumbles.

Not now, not ****ing ever.

[trapezeus]

watch out for the angry conservatives!!

with chandler not getting the benefit of deflated footballs, i suspect he'll have the same issues. it always seems to be a head game with him. when you absolutely need him, he's good for about 30% of the time to do the thing you need him to do. otherwise its drops and fumbles.

[Mace]

It shows a lack of class. Perhaps if you worked one block over we all would have to suffer from the classless jokes.

I said that as you joked about it - which is clearly more than just a reference. It's classless.

When I met my wife she was working on Rector Street. I guess that's about 2 blocks away.

Proximity doesn't allow you to be an ass - as you were.

This truly is all about your feelings. Your response is strictly derived from how you personally feel about this topic. I personally don't care about your feelings. Neither do I care about your opinions about the material of which I am made. It was a joke about a football topic. If you found that offensive, I think you need a few more layers of skin. A while ago, I found it distasteful that someone would joke about blowing their own head off. That was because my brother took his own life in that very way. There is even an emoticon you can post that depicts that very thing. Then I realized that something like that, in jest, is just that. It is not meant to disparage the memory of those lost. It's just an innocent joke. Context and perspective.... get some.

The lawyer in me thinks you should define terms. Does he have to hit all three of those targets to win? Or does a 50 catch, 600 yd, 10 TD year do it?

I prefer not to get wordy because I just said I prefer not to get wordy just now and I don't want to contradict myself at this point in the offseason though I'll lie freely later about other things I allegedly said but didn't bet on until someone confronts me with links to what I supposedly said, in which case I'll make something up having no ethics or morals. This one though, you'll be sorry about because I remember saying it atm and it is a matter of record atm.
