NFL play calls don’t get much more embarrassing than the one called by the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon.
The Giants have already been eliminated from playoff contention. New York is trailing Washington, 3-0, in a game that only matters for NFL Draft position.
So, you would think that Joe Judge’s team would be extra aggressive on Sunday afternoon. However, the opposite has been true.
New York called a quarterback sneak on a 3rd and 9 late in the first half.
Seriously.
The Giants calling a QB sneak on 3rd and 9 is _______

Wow.
“A sign of difficult times for the Giants’ offense as they run a QB sneak from their own 4-yard line on 3rd & 9 from this formation,” ESPN’s Field Yates tweeted.

“Unbelievable. On second-and-11 from 2-yard line, Giants are so scared of OL getting a penalty or missing a block for a safety, that Jake Fromm runs a QB sneak right up the middle. On third-and-9 from the 4, they do it again. Totally surrendered 2 downs,” Ryan Dunleavy added.

“The Giants, backed up inside their own 5, ran a QB sneak on 2nd and 3rd down. That shows they have absolutely no faith they have the personnel to do ANYTHING on offense. That’s just giving up, killing time and hoping disaster doesn’t strike. Coaches don’t believe in the players,” Ralph Vacchiano tweeted.
