The weekend has come and gone, and even though we still have Monday Football to look forward to, we can still take a look back at the weekend. Here’s what I learned:

• After a rough start to the betting season, I’m 9-4 so far this week, making me 17-8 in the last two weeks. Sorry. I had to star this thing off with a brag.
• The Falcons/49′ers game was probably the least cared about game this season. The Falcons were supposed to be bad; the ‘Niners weren’t.
• Buffalo’s just a couple of points away from being a 6-2 ball club. Oh, and we had a J.P. Losman sighting: The guy chucked the ball around for 295 yards and a touchdown, maybe earning his starting spot back.
• I’m starting to wonder if John Kitna’s 10 win proclomation came from God. He’s certainly looking right at the moment. Kudos to Shaun Rogers, who lost 50 pounds in that sprint to the end zone.
• David Carr threw for a measley 107 yards. At some point the Panthers may seriously want to consider playing Steve Smith at quarterback.
• Like I said when I made my picks: I’m only picking Green Bay because they’re winning me money. It’s the most nauseating team to bet on — I still don’t think they’re very good — but they seem to cover the spread week in and week out.
• Uh, yeah: The 296 yards that AP ran for was an NFL record. . . one that set by a rookie.
• Norv Turner, you may want to start packing your bags.
• I always thought Jacksonville’s strong suit was their defense. Drew Brees threw all over them, and before you could even blink the score was 17-0. They came back and made it a game, but my God, play some freaking D. I’m really happy I teased the Jags to +15 and still lost.
• Keep trying, Mangini. Keep trying. This one was really close; if your team could just play two halves of football, you’ll have this whole coaching thing figured out.
• Kurt Warner was 10 for 30. I know the guy’s got a hurt elbow, but 10 for 30? With those receivers?
• Like I said: The Browns were your lock of the week. I’ll admit I was a little nervous in the first half, too, but never lose faith in Derek Anderson, who has already thrown for more than 2,000 yards and is on pace for 34 touchdowns this season. Not bad for a back-up (oh yeah — Brady Quinn, you may want to start requesting a trade).
• I think the Pats are really good, and I did think the refs were really bad. But I think if you have Marvin Harrison in that game, the Colts win by 10. The Colts used to dread playing in January up in New England; thing is, this team has the defense that likes to hit and cause turnovers while the Pats now have the finesse offense. I’m not saying that’s an advantage for the Colts playing on that wet, sloppy field in January, but it seems to me the roles have reversed a little.
• Andy Reid needs to take a leave; I know he’s had a hard time, and his mind isn’t on football, and rightfully so. But at some point you have a certain amount of accountability for your team, and you’re not showing that.
• JaMarcus Russell will be starting very, very soon.
