We have been at each others throats for as long as we have been online.
But, seriously, the defense allowed almost 5 YPC (4.8), 198 net rushing yards, and 307 passing yards.
Meanwhile, the rushing offense averaged less than two yards per carry.
That is all horrible.
And Croyle led the pasing game with 66.6 completion percentage, two TDs, and 177 yards. Not to mention zero turnovers.
That's a solid day for any NFL QB. And a very good day for guy in Croyle's situation.
With all the injuries he has been through, and the amount of pressure the Ravens' defense was able to get, is it really difficult to expect him to be 'jitterey'?
With the hateful tone that so many fans have taken with him, can we not see where maybe he would be a bit nervous?
And despite the nerves, he still manages to loosen up in the second half, to put up some very good numbers, with a few very good throws.
I'm not trying to crown the guy this season's Thiggy. But the passing game was the only part of this team that did well. (There was a good ST play too)
And they did well against The Baltimore Ravens defense.
It's like looking at a lineup of five murderers and a jay-walker, and trying to say that the jay-walker is the bane of society.
Maybe Croyle is still 'a bumb'. But he did pretty decent this time. Do we really need to try and twist that to fit it into the 'bumb' image?
