Everyone was waiting for the Chiefs to lose so they could blame it all on Damon Huard.
It wasn't on Damon today...that's for sure.

Of course QBs tear up defenses in prevent, which is exactly what Croyle did, and what any good QB is expected to do. He can't control the situation he's given, he can only take advantage of that situation. It's laughable that you're trying to turn that into a negative.
Once you're in the red zone, things change, especially against a defense trying to preserve a shutout. You now have 7 DBs within 20 yards of the LOS. Completing passes against that is very difficult, especially TD passes. If you think the Jags weren't giving it their all, trying to preserve the shutout, then you've obviously never played football. Shutouts are a huge deal to a defense, and they will work VERY hard to maintain it.
The TD was far from meaningless. It prevented a shutout, and offered yet more proof that Croyle should be leading this team, not Huard.
I can see how you would consider it meaningless, though. After all, it does suck to have your life's work discredited time after time after time...
