many, many, many more. What's up with you guys??!!?? C'mon, have a little FAITH!!! And try to realize, this is the FIRST PRESEASON GAME OF 5... Jeez. If this were the 4th of 5, then I could see it. Don't panic, they've just STARTED practicing, have a long way to go, a lot more rust to get off, and a LOT more plays to add. They never even had an entire first string in (at least the guys like Taylor that will be first string when the season opens.) Relax, be patient,

I couldn't agree more.
The thing about the preseason is you can't get too high or too low. There's a reason why these games DON'T COUNT.
Before we hit the panic button let's remember some key things:
The team has been in camp for a little over a week, to expect them to come out firing on all cylinders is ridiculous and very unrealistic.
Add in the fact this is a completely new staff, new system and a bunch of new players, and you have to expect a period of adjustment. A week of practice isn't going to cut it. It might be 4 or 5 games into the season before we really start to see them playing the way they are capable, maybe more. So let's not panic after one meaningless preseason game.
The offensive and defensive schemes right now are bare bones, basic stuff.
Yes they looked sloppy, but that's honestly what I expected. If you expected anything else your expectations are way too high.
