From a football standpoint it hurts, but is not the end of the world as long as there are no further losses at WR. We had a pretty good passing attack early last year with less than this.
I assume you mean after Hunter got injured? A bit confusing, because that was the third game, but I don't know if I agree completely. Da'Rick had 3 games under his belt. Hunter is back, but coming off an injury. Patterson has yet to play a down. I think we are a bit more challenged than last year right after Hunter was injured. We do have a lot more potential though, and I do agree it probably isn't nearly as big a hit in the long run.
It does make the first game a lot tougher though, IMO.
