After tonight's pre season beat down by Denver, what's your panic level at?

My concern is that right now, preseason has essentially laid the groundwork for people to be concerned.
Even with the 2nd strings against 1st strings, this was bad.
But let's pretend that does not matter.
We are breaking in a new offense. There will be rough patches and a learning curve.
We have a borderline incompetent DC, one that demands us to score 30+ points just to win.
What happens when the defense is doing the usual thing (when not playing six games in a row against terrible or backup QBs), and the offense can not only NOT bail us out - but might need the defense to help bail it out?
Those become losses.
We have already had a listless preseason to make it hard to be optimistic. That came on the tail of Wilson almost demanding a trade (depending on your interpretation). Does that kill fan interest in the team?
We will see.
We are going to have 2-3 games that our offense is just not clicking on. As we iron out the issues and our guys learn this new way of playing. We already have the defense baking in a few losses for us. We don't need the offense baking a few more in. But that looks likely.
The way Denver was tackling today, I get why we are not playing our starters. But the cost might be a very very rusty offense when we start playing the starters.

This new offense with none of our starting OL. None of our WRs, none of our TEs.... 2nd stringers are bad? You mean the actual second stringers who made plays.. the rest 3rd.. fourth.. and offensive players playing LBer...
Our fan base.. is.. way off "base"

I don't want to see any more injuries. That's what I care about.

Hope they are hiding their game plans. Which just means by week 8 they will start sucking on offense. I have no faith in this team after this game.
