if you remember—this match-up did not work in the Bills’ favor

Five questions with Bolts From The Blue This Sunday Phillip Gaines Jersey , the Buffalo Bills will have their home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Last season—, 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, 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 Authentic Jeremy Kerley Jersey , 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, 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, somebody needs to step up in Bosa’s absence.Buffalo Bills opponent fantasy football preview, week 4: Geronimo! The Buffalo Bills play the Green Bay Packers this weekend, and for the second consecutive game, the Bills will be big underdogs on the road. The Packers have plenty of offensive firepower, and there are some favorable match-ups for them on offense.The Bills have settled down defensively since being outscored 75-3 through the first six quarters of the season. However, one trend that has emerged so far is that whichever wide receiver isn’t covered by Tre’Davious White will have a big day against Buffalo. For fantasy football purposes, this is the kind of information that is good to know when approaching waiver pickups, but also when making start or sit decisions. For this week, there are a few Packers who match up well against the Bills.WR Geronimo AllisonI fully expect Tre’Davious White to stick with Davante Adams Cheap Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , and since the Packers like to move Randall Cobb all over the field, I imagine he’ll be working out of the slot often—leaving rookie Taron Johnson to stick with him. That leaves Allison, a 6’3” wideout from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to work against Phillip Gaines or Ryan Lewis. While Lewis was good last week, Minnesota Vikings wideout Adam Thielen managed 14 receptions for 105 yards in the Bills’ 27-6 victory. While some of Thielen’s success was based on game flow and a soft defense in the fourth quarter, it was clear that quarterback Kirk Cousins was avoiding Stefon Diggs, who was covered by Tre’Davious White. Aaron Rodgers is a better quarterback than Cousins, but he will probably look to Allison more often than Adams this week thanks to the match-up.QB Aaron RodgersSpeaking of Rodgers, if he’s on your roster, you’re starting him this week. Unless you selected Patrick Mahomes II late to be Rodgers’ backup, you probably don’t have another quarterback who’s better than the future Hall of Famer. Rodgers has struggled in his career against Buffalo, completing 36-of-71 passes (50.7%, his lowest number against any team) for 440 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. As strong as Buffalo has been against the run this year, I’d imagine that the Packers will decide to go to a quick passing game that helps Rodgers avoid the pass rush and keeps the offense on time. This should give him plenty of chances to rack up yardage on the afternoon.TE Jimmy GrahamEven though rookie middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds has been improving rapidly, and despite Edmunds being a fantastic athlete, Graham is still one of the best tight ends in the league. The veteran is approaching 900 catches on his career, sitting at 879 coming in to the game, and his experience could pay off against the raw Edmunds. This match-up will be a big one to watch, but it’s one I imagine the Packers look at and feel confident in exploiting. If Graham is available—or if he’s on your roster already—he should be in your starting lineup this week.
