And in everyone's mind Croyle is Tom Brady, but in reality he's a QB starting his first game on the road in the toughest place to throw in the whole league. The last time he played extensively (the preseason), he threw 3 picks in 40 pass attempts. Often against second and third-stringers.

A lot of that was due to the offense being run in the preseason, which was low-fat, low-sodium, hint of vanilla ice cream and the o-line was even worse then.
