in a familiar spot after the first week of the NFL season — 0-1 and trying to make sure the season doesn't go off the rails.As much as coach Anthony Lynn and his team have tried to deflect questions about last year's 0-4 start Womens Darius Philon Jersey , those reminders are bound to come up again this week as they prepare for Sunday's game at Buffalo.The Chargers are 5-9 in September since 2014, which is the third-worst mark in the AFC.Quarterback Philip Rivers, who threw for 424 yards Sunday, said after the 38-28 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that this team is better equipped to bounce back compared to previous seasons."I think last year at that point we were still a little bit snake-bit of how we lost too many games the previous two years," Rivers said. "It was kind of a little bit the same old story to start out last season and then we kind of got rid of that. I feel like we kind of got rid of that the last 12 games last year."We still have to go do it, but there's so many good things that we did today, other than score, which is the most important, that gives me all the confidence in the world that this could be an awesome season."Lynn said Monday that the biggest takeaways from the loss were the four drops in the passing game. Running back Melvin Gordon had two while wide receivers Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams had one each."It's very uncharacteristic. I have not seen that out of our group Womens Russell Okung Jersey , at all, but it showed up yesterday," Lynn said. "Maybe they were pressing. Maybe after you drop one ball, they felt pressed to make the next catch. I'm not sure."Gordon, who had 102 yards on nine receptions, said on one of the drops that he didn't get his head around fast enough to see the ball.Despite the drops and going 3 for 11 on third down, Lynn was mostly pleased with the offense's performance. The Chargers had 541 yards, though 244 came in the fourth quarter when they had the ball for nearly 11 minutes and the Chiefs were well ahead.The running game with Gordon and Austin Ekeler averaged 5.6 yards per carry and they combined for 14 receptions for 189 yards."Those guys have two different skill sets. I like it when they can attack a defense with those skills out of the backfield receiving the ball or running on the perimeter or inside," Lynn said.Right tackle Joe Barksdale's status remains uncertain after he injured his left knee during the first quarter. Sam Tevi took Barksdale's place and would get the start if Barksdale is out this week.Defensive end Joey Bosa also remains week-to-week after missing Sunday's game due to a foot injury. Isaac Rochell was in for all but five of the defense's 56 plays and ended up with four tackles.Lynn said Buffalo's decision on whether Nathan Peterman or Josh Allen starts at quarterback will have no bearing on the overall defensive game plan. The Chargers had great success against Peterman in last year's game http://www.chargersfootballauthentics.com/philip-rivers-jersey-authentic , intercepting him five times in the first half of a 52-24 victory."If we're facing Peterman, we will try to get after him again like we did last year," Lynn said. "I think of those five interceptions that Joey Bosa was hitting him on four of them. We have to figure out how to apply some pressure to that young man and play our game."Los Angeles Chargers Daily Links: Will Defense Be Improved Against the Run? Deep CB group should cover for loss of talented Jason Verrett - Eric Williams“There’s great competition amongst them,” Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said about the cornerback position. “Every play, you have to be on it. With competition, it just keeps elevating the level of play. As a coach, that’s what you want on a team.”Run Defense Makes Statement on Day Three - Ricky Henne“I was pleased with the run defense today,” he said. “Our run defense usually on that first, second or third (day in pads) are always ahead of the offense because you go all offseason passing the ball. You never get a chance running the ball until you get to training camp Youth Caleb Sturgis Jersey , so the offense has some catching up to do in that area, but I was pleased with the run defense.”Mike Pouncey Ignited and Ready for the Upcoming Season - Rachel Gossen“I never thought I’d play for anybody but the Dolphins, but once they released me, it made me want to be an even better football player,” Pouncey said Monday afternoon. “It made me want to prove everybody wrong. I’m excited to be here, I can’t wait to help this run game out (and) help this football team do something special.”Kyzir White Earns Highest Possible Praise from Coach Lynn - Ricky Henne“It’s hard for me to talk about Kyzir because I get real excited,” Lynn said. “I don’t want to jump the gun on him. I want to get him in some games and watch him play, but just watching him run around here and some of the things he did in the offseason, I get real excited talking about him. His speed. His attitude. His explosiveness. He just has great instincts as a football player. We had a hammer on him (in the draft).”Can Browns http://www.chargersfootballauthentics.com/dan-feeney-jersey-authentic , Raiders and Chargers deal with camp setbacks? - Tom KrasovicWe’ll see what a handful of tight-end candidates can do as alternatives to veteran newcomer Virgil Green, who’s a good blocker. Gates likely wouldn’t need much time to acclimate if the Chargers signed him in, say, mid-August.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade Custom Los Angeles Rams Jerseys
