Toss in the onsides kick and you have a coach that didn't give his team a chance to win today.
The Moreno fumble was a terrible call too. I guess we're even now.

Withe the short week perhaps they didn't want to work Orton today AND on Thursday. Simms took all the 1st team snaps, if he can manage the game then let him take this one.
So I can see a reasoning, and if they won nobody would have questioned it and the Giants wouldn't know who would be starting. It didn't work, but Sims wasn't the one who fumbled on the goal line, either.
