My expectations are anywhere from 6-8 wins, so I won't be melting down if we're 4-2 after 6 games.
As for Billings, I don't think we've lost anything really. I mean, would he have helped? Maybe so? Probably so? Possibly? You can't base anything off of last year. And to lose him from THIS team, he would have had to have been playing on THIS team. He wasn't. He wasn't practicing, he wasn't playing...for all practical purposes he has never been on this team.
To say he was our leading receiver isn't saying much. He had 24 catches for 277 yards and zero TDs. It's about as important as the fact that we lost our leading passer too from last year too. We just weren't counting on him for anything from the beginning, so it's hard to say we lost something.
