Week 1 is a liar.The first week of the NFL season assured us, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Rams were an irretrievable trash fire, the Cardinals were in trouble, Jameis Winston was an MVP front-runner, and the Cowboys couldnt score with Dak Prescott at quarterback.Remember? Yeah, not so much on those.Week 2 is also a liar, as is any NFL week if taken as a singular entity. The difference is that Week 2 is only 50 percent of our evidence when we sit down to sort through it. Week 1, at its expiration, is 100 percent.With that in mind, heres a look at what we think we learned from Week 2, and a few things we think will turn out to not matter much at all.Rex Ryan is toastThis is from Thursday, but it bears resurrection. The Bills are 0-2, have already fired their offensive coordinator, and face the Cardinals and the Patriots the next two weeks. That smells a lot like 0-4, and the dysfunction is obvious from miles away. Ryan said hed be the first to go if the team didnt win, and instead it was Greg Roman. So Im not buying anything he says. Instead, Im buying Frank Reich head-coaching futures in upstate New York, especially if Carson Wentz has a big year in Philly.The Steelers and Bengals should play two more times this?seasonAll the pregame talk about ugliness and hatred obscured the fact that these are two really good teams, capable of just trying to outplay each other without anyone fighting or getting suspended. No one should be surprised if they meet in the playoffs again. Pittsburghs defense has started out hot. And after the Bengals get done with this September combination of body blows the schedule-makers dealt them, they should find themselves a nice rhythm.Whats real about the Giants is their opportunityThe Giants started each of the past three years 0-2. They started each of the past five years 0-1. Now theyre 2-0 for the first time since 2009, back when the Tom Coughlin narrative (believe it or not) was that his teams started strong and faded down the stretch. This sets up the Giants in a way they havent been set up in some time and gives them a chance to just about put away 0-2 defending division champ Washington in Week 3. Now look ... the Giants have won their two games by a combined four points, they havent finished .500 since 2012, and their October schedule features trips to Minnesota, Green Bay and London. So Id hold off a few weeks before printing the playoff tickets. But what we know about the Giants for sure is that theyre 2-0, and its been quite a while since theyve been in that position.Philip Rivers is a bad manSeriously, Rivers?is the most underrated quarterback of his generation. He loses Keenan Allen in the first half of his Week 1 game. He loses Danny Woodhead in the first half of his Week 2 game. But who has eight kids and the third-best passer rating in the NFL right now? Thats right. THAT guy. The Chargers might?not be on your AFC West contender radar, but they still have -- easily -- the divisions best quarterback. And one of these weeks, hes going to make it through a whole game without losing a critical offensive weapon.The Browns cant have nice thingsJosh McCown spent the first half of Sundays game lighting up the Ravens and making it clear that coach Hue Jackson hadnt chosen the best quarterback on his roster as his Week 1 starter. But then McCown got hurt and the Browns gave away a 20-point lead, and now they will start their fifth different starting quarterback in as many games. It remains entirely possible that Cleveland, which has an insufficient number of NFL-caliber players on its roster, will lose all 16 games this year. Its also still possible (though somewhat less likely) that the Browns will use 16 different starting quarterbacks to do it. No matter who they throw in there, they wont be able to protect him. The only thing that can start to fix this is a dozen or so 2017 draft picks.The Raiders miss Mario Edwards Jr.I know its not that simple -- theres plenty of blame to go around on a Raiders defense that has allowed more than 500 yards in each of its first two games. But the absence of Edwards from the line might?be a bigger deal than was originally thought when he went on the PUP list to start the season. If you look at it in terms of the Broncos defense -- the one Jack Del Rio was running before he became the Raiders coach -- Edwards plays the Derek Wolfe role. Edwards can disrupt on the edge or mix things up inside, and his versatility allows the edge rushers to move around and do their thing. Oakland has only two sacks, and the pass rush may not fully come around until the front seven gets whole again.Theres no reason to change your opinion of the RamsA week ago, everyone was ripping the Rams for looking lifeless against the Niners. Then L.A. goes out and knocks off Seattle in a touchdown-free wreck of a game for which the Rams should be ashamed to have charged admission. But dont buy it. The Rams are 4-1 against Seattle and 10-19 against everyone else since the start of 2014. Their defensive line is all theyve got, and its all they had last year when they went 7-9. They have the Seahawks number, but theyre also the only team in the league thats still in single digits in points for the year.The Cardinals and Panthers can still whip youAfter tough losses to AFC powers in Week 1, last years NFC Championship Game participants combined for 86 points in their Week 2 get-right games. Whether you prefer Carson Palmers pregame marshmallow man suit or Cam Newtons postgame carnival barker hat, you have to realize these teams arent going away anytime soon.Emmanuel Ogbah Super Bowl Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. Mitchell Schwartz Super Bowl Jersey . Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed. http://www.thechiefsshoponline.com/Youth-Travis-Kelce-Chiefs-Jersey/ .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. Derrick Thomas Super Bowl Jersey . Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. Morris Claiborne Super Bowl Jersey . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons rookie starting linebacker DeVondre Campbell, who injured an ankle Thursday during practice, has been ruled out for the game Sunday at Oakland.Campbell, a fourth-round draft pick from Minnesota, was expected to have a major role this week if the Falcons decided to increase their blitz package.?Its sore, for sure, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said of Campbells ankle. So, well hold him this week. Honestly, not going to even give a timeline of (when). Were just going to grind for a while and just see, Hey, can we get it back in how soon of a time.Campbells absence means the Falcons wont have the player they expect to thrive in covering tight ends and running backs. He will be replaced at weak-side linebacker by veteran Sean Weatherspoon, a former first-round draft pick with 41 career starts.ddddddddddddQuinn also ruled out first-round draft pick Keanu Neal, who continues to recover from arthroscopic knee surgery. The rookie strong safety was not expected to play this week and didnt practice, but Neal did take a positive step by participating in some of the walkthrough Friday. Neal could return in Week 3, when the Falcons face the rival New Orleans Saints on ESPN Monday Night Football.Wide receiver Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu, both coming off ankle injuries had full participation in practice Friday and are set to play Sunday. Defensive end Brooks Reed, who was limited Friday with a shoulder injury, is questionable. ' ' '
