Five takes: Bills hoping to win second straight going up against Heinicke, WFT

‘Things likely won’t be as easy for the Bills on Sunday afternoon as they go up against a playoff team from a year ago that comes equipped with what appears to be a budding young quarterback. The WFT is led by one of the league’s top veteran head coaches, Ron Rivera, who has plenty of experience coaching with and against Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott. The Bills’ skipper previously served as Rivera’s defensive coordinator during their days with the Carolina Panthers. After expending little effort in their blowout win over Miami, McDermott’s Bills will have to be on their toes against Heinicke, Rivera and the WFT this week.’

‘I Was Always Going to Be the Guy Who Figured It Out’

‘“Some guys have those incredible years, and then that’s who they are,” one such guy, the Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner — who won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award in his first season as a starter — said in a telephone interview. Now an analyst for NFL Network, Warner added: “And other guys just do it that once, and they never quite capture it again. I hope this is who Josh is the rest of his career, but I did not see this coming. I did not know he was capable of it.”’

Opinion: Washington at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes, and stats

‘After seeing how the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to disrupt the Bills passing game with very little blitzing in Week 1, Washington would love to do the same. But if they can’t and thus go blitz-heavy, they’ll give Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his receivers a big opportunity to take advantage.’

‘This isn’t the Giants’ defense that Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke torched for 336 yards. Heinicke and the Football Team (1-1) will collide with a Buffalo defense that has not allowed an opposing team to throw for 200 yards. Against the Bills (1-1) and Josh Allen, Washington will struggle to keep pace on the scoreboard.’

‘”I think it’s pretty cool. I was with Ron for at least seven years. Good coach, good coach. I learned a lot from him. (It’s) too bad he’s playing on the other side. Seeing his face expressions from the other side, I think it’s gonna be pretty dope.”‘
