Yeah, Chris Simms also had a great preseason. The point is, that means shit. Preseason performance is completely meaningless.
Warner wasn\'t decent today. You\'re kidding yourself if you say that. He went 34-54, but about half of those completions were screen passes and short dump offs. That practically is a running game in a lot of ways. That\'s why he had like 6 yards per reception. Four turnovers is never good, especially to just one TD.
As for abandoning the run and Marshall Faulk, yeah that was stupid, but Faulk didn\'t exactly do much to make them stay with it. Take out his one 18 yard run, and he averaged just over a yard a carry. That\'s not gonna get it done.
The Giants defense was just incredible all day. That\'s who you point to. We were all over Warner all day. We were hitting not only him, but your WR\'s like every play. I\'ll say it now, and most people know this already: The Rams are soft. They can\'t play a hard, ugly game. That\'s what the Giants do, especially on D. And that\'s why they\'ve beaten the Rams two seasons in a row.
