With 7:29 remaining in last Sunday's Giants-Eagles game, New York led 31-10, and was seemingly on its way to seizing control of the NFC East.

Then came a collapse for the ages -- the New Miracle at the New Meadowlands -- that gave the Eagles the game and barring an equally epic miracle, the NFC East crown.

Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and the Eagles strutted out of East Rutherford on a well-deserved high, looking very much like a team that could represent the NFC in Super Bowl.

The Giants?

Mathematically, the loss didn't hurt as much as it seemed. New York still controls its own destiny, and can clinch a playoff berth -- and leave last Sunday in its rear-view window -- with a victory Sunday in Green Bay.

But mentally? Well, that may be another story. The Giants were a beaten team -- both on the scoreboard and between their ears -- as they walked off the field last Sunday, so much so that Eli Manning called a team meeting on Monday for the first time in his career.

So, can the Giants pick up the pieces in time to salvage a season that through 14 weeks and three quarters seemed so promising?
