No reason to start this season any worse than 3-1, even if Browning is in there.
Completely agree. Couldn't get an easier start to the regular season this time around with those 3 teams even with the Chiefs being mixed in.

I just realized they have so many primetime games because they face the NFC east.
Like, washington? the giants? Those teams are terrible. But, nfc east

As good as you could hope for. Good start with a couple of big games, nice bye time but a pretty brutal finish but overall good.
Did laugh at the Pitt kerfuffle on their schedule. Nice finish for them.

Ho Lee Shit! All 6 division games in the last 8 with the only two non-division games being the Eagles and Chiefs??

They didn't start slow in '19 and '20 though, from an effort and quality standpoint: wins and losses require context

They also started 5-2 in 2021. Coming off of a 4 win season that was a great start.

I forgot this, guess I was in the what has happened lately mind here. We should get right back to having a great start this season under Zac.
