Here’s what I learned from this weekend’s games:

• Green Bay is for real. And to be honest, they’ve got a quarterback that will probably throw just as many TD’s as Favre, while making only half the mistakes.
• The Lions have trailed 21-0 in both games now. And Jon Kitna, with all of his weapons, throws way too many interceptions. Calvin Johnson is starting to become that beast everyone thought he would be.
• The Chiefs have been in re-building mode for what seems like forever. Have they ever thought about drafting a quarterback? It’s the most important position, yet they want Huard, Croyle and Thigpen in control of it.
• I won’t say the New York Giants are the toast of the NFC yet. They beat a Redskins team that looked inept on offense, and a Rams team that looks inept everywhere.
• The Colts had to come back to win this one. Their run defense has got to get better — which will be tough with no Bob Sanders — and that offense has got to start clicking. These games in the teens just aren’t characteristic of the Indy offense.
• Minnesota is the best 0-2 team in the league.
• The Titans defense is for real. This terrible Cincy offense we’re seeing, it’s also for real. As in, this isn’t some kind of crazy apparition. They’re really that bad.
• The Saints can’t rely on offense all year long — they were supposed to be better on defense this year, but gave up 29 points to a team that looked lost the week before.
• Don’t get your hopes up, Washington fans. You’re not a very good team.
• My guess is that the Bears defense is for real again (go figure, I didn’t pick them as my D in my fantasy league). With that said, if they constantly play to “not lose,” they’re going to lose.
• The Panthers are at 2-0. Had they been 1-1 without Steve Smith they’d be happy, so this is just icing on the cake.
• Is Buffalo the toast of the AFC East?
• Is Jacksonville this year’s infamous “Thought they’d be good but they suck” team?
• Seattle has no wide receivers, which we knew, but the lack of defense has been kind of surprising from a team that’s loaded with talent on that side of the ball.
• The Falcons sucked it up the first half, but Matt Ryan looked good in the third and fourth quarters. This team isn’t going anywhere, but the future looks bright.
• Brian Griese is really going to be the quarterback when Jeff Garcia is healthy? What the hell is Gruden thinking?
• It’s gotta hurt ol’ Eric Mangini to lose to Belichick when Brady was out. People will talk about the three runs on the goal line, but the Jets didn’t run the ball enough the rest of the game. Let Belichick know you’re passing, and he’s going to get turnovers.
• The Dolphins stink.
• The Cardinals may finally be that team that everyone’s expected them to be for the last three years.
• The Chargers might have the worst D in the league. Not from a “Wow, look at this roster” standpoint, but from a, “Damn, they’re giving up a lot of points” standpoint.
• Jay Cutler the next John Elway? It’s a little early to say that, but I will say this: At this rate, Eddie Royal will be your Rookie of the Year. Who called that one?
• With Roethlisberger’s health, the crazy weather conditions, and being on the road, Pittsburgh just has to be happy with the win.
• That was sure some bad time management at the end of the half by Romeo Crennel and the Browns.
• If the Eagles or Cowboys are going to be the team to beat in the NFC, they’d better grow a defense really, really fast.
