Quick Hits: Healthy dialogue between Daboll and Allen
‘“That communication is huge,” McDermott said. “One quarterback may be slightly different than another. Anytime you put together a game plan you’re looking at who you have and you’re also looking at who they have, matchup-wise, youth in this case with respect to Josh knowing what he can and can’t handle to this point and the overall balance of the game plan are things we always look at week to week.”’
Bills injury report: Johnson, Lawson ruled out for Sunday

8 things to watch in Bills-Chargers this weekend
‘“It’s not just the fact that he can throw it 75 yards,” Mortensen said this week on One Bills Drive. “He can make intermediate throws and his athleticism, in this day and age, quarterbacks do have to be a little more athletic than they used to be – it will allow for the offense to breathe a little bit. It’s not going to be pretty all the time. But I think Josh Allen has the mental toughness to live with the ups and the downs.”’
Fan Mailbag: What would be a successful day for Josh Allen?
‘What needs to happen is LeSean McCoy needs to see plenty of the ball. As McCoy himself said this week, the job of the other 10 players around Josh Allen is to make the game as easy as possible for him. That can best be accomplished by getting McCoy the football, so he can make plays and hopefully keep the offense in manageable down and distance situations.’
Bills Today: Philip Rivers has praise for Josh Allen’s love of the game
‘“I was able to actually spend most of a day with those guys, him and Sam [Darnold] and a couple guys, one day last spring,” Rivers said. “Gosh, big strong arm and really has a passion for the game that I could tell just in the short time I was around him. I’m sure he’s excited.”’
Held without a catch in Week 1, Charles Clay knows he needs to step up
‘“I just want to win. That’s the only thing. If the other tights, Logan or Jason (make a catch), I get just as excited when they get a ball,” he said. “People on the outside look at all that stuff, but that doesn’t bother me one way or another. … It’s week to week. Once that game is over, you get a day to reflect. After that, you’ve got to put it behind you.”’
Bills Notebook: Kelvin Benjamin, Zay Jones clear the air
‘”Just overall, I’m proud of the way those two handled it, as men,” the coach said. “That’s how it should be kept, really. It should start that way and end that way. These guys are young men and they can handle things inside the building. That’s what teams do.”‘
Mark Gaughan’s X’s and O’s: Rivers’ pre-snap reads pose big problem for Bills
‘“They have a really good system,” said Gaines, who prepared for Rivers twice a year the past four seasons as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. “They overload a zone, and when someone else is coming back across, he’s open. You have to play with good eyes and understand what he’s trying to do to you.”’
How we see it: Predictions on Bills-Chargers in Week 2
‘It’s hard to see the Bills again looking as incredibly inept as last week. Having a more talented quarterback in Josh Allen should help, even with the requisite rookie growing pains.’

Lost in all the QB hoopla, the mistake-ridden Bills defense has to make quantum leaps
‘“We understand that we stunk it up in Week 1,” Hughes continued, “and we have to answer back stronger and I think that’s what guys are licking their chops and getting ready to do. It’s not so much sulking, licking their wounds, guys are anxious to get back out there Sunday and answer the call.”’
Buffalo Bills have a L.O.F.T. issue: A Lack Of Freaking Talent, says Chris Canty
‘But yeah, here’s the thing. They don’t have a supporting cast that’s going to help their young quarterback, that’s going to make things easier for Josh Allen. I mean that’s why they decided they were going to roll Nathan Peterman out there in Week 1. It’s not because Nathan Peterman is better than Josh Allen. It’s just because they don’t want Josh Allen to have to take those lumps and bruises early on in the season, but I think Nathan Peterman was so bad that Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane didn’t have any other choice. They had to put Josh Allen out there in Week 2.”‘
