As it turned out, it did not go the way Joe Judge and the Giants wanted it to go in their 17-9 loss to the Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants, trailing 10-9 in the fourth quarter Sunday, were on the move (at least for them) after Wayne Gallman\u2019s 26-yard burst \u2014 their longest rushing play of the season. Two more Gallman runs and a Daniel Jones pass to Golden Tate for a 1-yard loss made it fourth down and 4 yards to go from the Rams\u2019 48-yard line.<\/p>\n<p>Go for it? No. Judge opted to punt the ball away, and pinned the Rams on their own 9-yard line with 9:46 left. You know how this story ends. The Rams put together a 91-yard touchdown drive to get the cushion they needed to beat the Giants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just the best decision we thought at the time for the team,\u2019\u2019 Judge said. \u201cOur defense was playing good, we were winning the field position, we wanted them on down there, on a long field and let our defense play. We\u2019ve gone for it on enough fourth downs. \u2026 We\u2019re not afraid to go for it at the right time, but I\u2019ve got to call based on what I think is best for the team at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16399237\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-nypost-large-desktop-uncropped wp-image-16399237 lazyload\" alt=\"Joe Judge\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/1278465962.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/1278465962.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/1278465962.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/1278465962.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=662 662w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/1278465962.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1324 1324w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 662px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>Joe Judge<\/span><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Judge and his coaching staff did not stand pat as struggling players brought the Giants down. Rookie Tae Crowder got the bulk of the playing time at one of the inside linebacker spots, replacing ineffective Devante Downs. Crowder, a seventh-round pick from Georgia who was designated \u201cMr. Irrelevant\u201d as the final selection in this year\u2019s NFL draft, nearly had a diving interception early in the third.<\/p>\n<p>Isaac Yiadom got the start at the troublesome second cornerback spot, but struggled. After Yiadom barely made a move to prevent an easy first-down reception by Josh Reynolds, Ryan Lewis moved in at corner and played well.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the first half, rookie Matt Peart took a few snaps at right tackle, replacing veteran Cam Fleming during the two-minute drill. Fleming was back on the field to start the third quarter.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Rams DT Aaron Donald did not wreck the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>; he had two tackles and one-half sack. \u2026 OLB Oshane Ximines left in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. The position took another hit when Kyler Fackrell left with a neck injury. \u2026 S Adrian Colbert (neck) also made a premature exit.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The last time the Giants started a season 0-4 was 2017, when Ben McAdoo lost the first five games of his second year as head coach. McAdoo lasted only 12 games that season before he was fired and replaced on an interim basis by his defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/04\/joe-judges-fourth-down-call-went-very-wrong-for-giants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Joe Judge&#8217;s fourth-down call went very wrong for Giants&#8221; It could have gone either way.
