No reason to start this season any worse than 3-1, even if Browning is in there.
I'd throw out the first two years, simply because it's not the same team we had now, not to mention the best game we played until the Jets game in '19, was indeed week 1.
Also should've won Week 1 in '20 and could've won week 2 in '20 as well.
I'm not at all saying it isn't something to be concerned about, but definitely saying that is is overblown.
All that said though, I think we indeed go 4-2 or better, in the first 6 games.
