Five questions with Bolts From The

Blue This Sunday http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-ryan-groy-jersey , the Buffalo Bills will have their home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Last season—if you remember—this match-up did not work in the Bills’ favor, but this is a new season with both teams coming off Week One losses. We talked to Jamie Sewell from Bolts From The Blue to get an update on the Chargers ahead of this Week Two competition where, statistically speaking, the loser will not have a good chance at making the postseason. What was the biggest takeaway from the week one game against the Chiefs?Good question. For the biggest takeaway, I’d have to say that it was Philip Rivers proving that he’s got more than a little left in the tank. Rivers had the best game I’ve seen him have in a long time. He made one questionable decision when trying to chase the game that led to an interception, but was nearly flawless aside from that—and if his receivers didn’t let him down with crucial drops, he could have easily thrown for 500 yards and five touchdowns, and that’s not an exaggeration. Rivers was throwing dimes all day while getting hit, and looked as comfortable as ever in the pocket. He’s primed for a big year as he looks to make one last run at getting a ring.How do you think the defense will prepare knowing now that they are facing Josh Allen instead of Nathan Peterman?I was personally hoping it’d be Peterman starting, because for all Allen’s flaws, there’s absolutely no question that he can hurt you with his arm. That might lead to the Chargers playing a little bit more cautiously on defense, but I wouldn’t anticipate wholesale changes. Gus Bradley plays a lot of Cover-3, and usually trusts his four guys upfront to create pressure without relying on blitzes too heavily. Without Joey Bosa http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-corey-bojorquez-jersey , the Chargers really struggled to get to Patrick Mahomes last week though, so I could see Gus throwing some more blitzes at Allen, especially as he’s a rookie making his first NFL start. Although, I think that’d have been the case whether it was Allen or Peterman going up against the Bolts this week.What is the updated status on Joey Bosa?He’s looking certain to miss this week, unfortunately. The latest report is that it’s a ‘bone bruise’ and that he’s still week to week, but it sounds like the Chargers are anticipating being without him for at least a couple of games. The Chargers have a terrible record with injuries, both with their frequency and how well they actually diagnose them, so Bosa has gone from ‘being ready to play today if he has to’ about a month ago, to looking like missing the first month of the season. I think we’re just going to have to wait and see, but it’s good news for Josh Allen this week.When you beat an opponent so badly like the Chargers did to the Bills last season, how do you think the team is mentally preparing themselves to not look down on the Bills heading into this week. If the Chargers needed humbling, last week should have done it. Despite the Chargers being a lot of people’s favorites to win the division, the Kansas City Chiefs showed them who still runs the AFC West with a dominant display. The Chargers got nowhere near the Chiefs who seemed to score at will http://www.authenticsbuffalobills.com/cheap-star-lotulelei-jersey , and the Chargers were simply outclassed, both in terms of players and coaching. That makes it nine wins in a row for Kansas City over the Chargers, and if there’s any player in the Chargers’ locker room that was anticipating an easy game this week, the embarrassment of being schooled in their season opener should have changed their minds.Who is a player you would like to see bounce back in Week two after a rough game in week 1?Honestly, there are a few. WRs Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin both had multiple drops on huge plays, some of which were easy touchdowns that just slipped through their hands. They let the team down in a big way. LG Dan Feeney struggled in the first start of his sophomore campaign after being a third-round pick a year ago, and an injury to starting RT Joe Barksdale thrust Sam Tevi into the fold, who’s up and down performances haven’t inspired a lot of confidence in the 2017 sixth-rounder’s ability to see meaningful action. The biggest disappointment for me, however, was the lackluster pass rush without Joey Bosa. Melvin Ingram is an excellent player but had very little success without Bosa on the other side, while Isaac Rochell and Chris Landrum—both of whom had shown promise as pass rushers in training camp and preseason—offered nothing to scare Mahomes. Second-round draft pick Uchenna Nwosu’s best trait is rushing the passer, and he strangely played just two snaps last week, but Head Coach Anthony Lynn has indicated that Nwosu figures to see more action this week. Either way http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-john-miller-jersey , somebody needs to step up in Bosa’s absence. Much like the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins don’t have much to play for heading into their showdown at Orchard Park on Sunday. While the team’s goal of reaching the postseason was officially eliminated last week, there are still plenty of reasons, and people, to watch on the visitors’ sideline this week. Who are the five most intriguing Dolphins of the week? QB Ryan TannehillAfter seven seasons, Tannehill’s tenure in South Beach appears to be coming to a close. He has teased the Dolphin fanbase with flashes of brilliance and the following week baffled them with bone-headed mistakes or inaccuracy. In his defense, his and the Dolphins’ best season was nipped in the bud when he tore his ACL in what ended up being a playoff campaign. That injury ultimately cost Tannehill his 2017 season and led to the Jay Cutler experiment. In a league desperate for quality quarterbacks, Tannehill will undoubtedly have his suitors (Jacksonville perhaps?). Regardless, Sunday will most likely be his last time visiting Orchard Park with the Dolphin logo on his helmet. HC Adam GaseYet another possible swan song. Along with Tannehill, Gase has come under fire recently and another campaign with no postseason may be the death blow for Gase as the head man for Miami. Gase had a free pass in 2017 with the quarterback issues, but this year the pressure was on. With that in mind, will Gase call this game like a man with nothing to lose and empty out the playbook? Will he sit on the bench during the game? All of that will make the sideline camera entertaining Sunday. RB Kenyan DrakeNow that the farewells are done, Drake is a must-watch for the strategic purposes of the game. The Bills got gouged last week against the New England Patriots thanks in large part to the speed of those carrying the ball. Drake has speed to spare. Through screen passes http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jerry-hughes-jersey , tosses, stretches or other gadgetry, getting Drake in space will be the Dolphins’ goal. If the Bills continue to get beat to the edge like they did against New England, Drake will be in for a huge day. LB Kiko AlonsoThere are plenty of Bills fans who still hold a soft spot for Alonso. That fact alone would be enough to include him on this list. What is more intriguing will be how he rebounds from an embarrassing performance the last time these two squared off. In the first meeting, Allen ran wild and on a couple of occasions made Alonso look foolish. Those who love Alonso know that didn’t sit well with the former Oregon product, so he will likely focus in on not allowing Allen to run circles around him again. The Bills may, and should, use that against him with some RPOs that suck up Alonso and open up space for the passing game. DE Robert QuinnAs our own Skarekrow broke down earlier this week, Quinn should be watched closely on Sunday. His match-up against Dion Dawkins may determine the outcome of the game. Dawkins’s play has slipped in his second season and although Quinn isn’t what he once was, he still has speed. For Allen to have success through the air, Dawkins will have to neutralize Quinn’s speed and force him to go to options B and C when rushing the passer.
