I'm not going to lose any sleep over this game for many reasons.  Off the top of my head...

1.  It was foreseeable.  I made a post about this about a week ago where I noted the team had the chance to get to training camp a week earlier because we had a new coach and we were playing in the HOF game, but we didn't.  We had fewer practices overall and fewer paded practices than the Raiders going into this game.  The results were not tally unexpected.

2.  It was the first week of preseason.  That alone is enough to disregard the results.

3.  It appears we escaped the game with no major injuries.  I can breathe easier because of that.

Hopefully all of the parties involved (players and coaches) learned some things from this game.
