A 1-1 start is really no big deal this year. A loss to Dallas will be unpopular around here, yes. But you've got a realitively easy 2-1 start this year. This is the main reason why I'm not worried. The pressure in that Week 2 matchup falls squarely on them, not us. Portis will likely be back, giving us a fighting chance. I honestly don't expect to see Springs before Week 4. Thats when the tough part of the schedule starts with games against Jacksonville and a road game @ NY, 2 games we can not afford to lose (unless of course, we beat Dallas).

The last game we played without Springs, I'd say we did pretty well defensively. And we didn't even have Kenny Wright then.
