ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) – All that offseason optimism in Oakland was erased by a season-opening blowout that brought up the same problems that have plagued the Raiders the past seven seasons.
There was an offensive line that gave quarterback Jason Campbell little time to throw the ball, receivers who struggled to get open down the field, a run defense that once again got gashed by the big play and 10 penalties that hurt the team on both sides of the ball.
It added up to a 38-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday that showed the Raiders have plenty of work to do if they want to end a streak of seven straight seasons with at least 11 losses.
