People seem to forget that this was the first real action for the O-line.
Over the prior 4 weeks they saw less than 60 minutes worth of snaps (and those weren't even all together) and had no problems handling their match ups. Week one came around and they played poorly.
Were their heads up their asses thinking they were great and it would be a cake walk for them? Quite possibly.
Were there issues with timing and communication? Most definitely.
Every unit of every team has at least one poor showing in a NFL season, so there is no reason to panic because of some poor work in the first couple of weeks. When you do panic, you end up like the Bills.
