Vote: Will the Giants recover to win the NFC East?


 Plaxico Burress
Plaxico Burress' desire was questioned by teammate Michael Strahan.
The New York Giants have experienced enough drama this year to qualify for a trophy at the Soap Opera Digest Awards. But despite the headlines, the G-Men still find themselves in position to make the playoffs with five weeks remaining in the regular season.

Several recent issues have jeopardized the team's chemistry, including Tiki Barber questioning the play-calling, Michael Strahan questioning Plaxico Burress' motivation and Jeremy Shockey taking a shot at the Dallas Cowboys, whom the Giants face in a key NFC East battle on Sunday.

Have these flare-ups damaged the team to the point of no return? Or can the team band together in time to put an end to their three-game skid, defeat the Cowboys and have a shot at the NFC East title?

Cast your vote now and see how your opinion stacks up to the rest of SportsNation!

  • 1) After a Week 11 loss to Jacksonville, Tiki Barber questioned the Giants' play-calling, specifically the lack of run plays. ''We got away from it early and never got back to it because we felt like we weren't executing or finding any type of rhythm, but we never got back into it,'' Barber said. Have the Giants used Barber to his full potential?
  • 2) In response to fan reaction about Plaxico Burress taking plays off, Michael Strahan said, ''You can't give up. You can't quit because you're not quitting on yourself, you're quitting on everybody. I don't quite understand what his lack of motivation is in those types of situations. But I'm going to try to see what it is, and if I can talk to him about it. He's too good for that.'' What is your reaction?
  • 3) Which Giants player has the biggest mouth?
  • 4) Which player takes more plays off?
  • 5) Do you agree with Shockey that there would be ''no way in hell'' the Cowboys could beat the Giants if the Giants played to their capabilities?
  • 6) Is ''bulletin board'' material valuable to opposing teams?
  • 7) The New York Times recently ran a story on the Giants' body language during their recent loss to the Titans. Whether it was Tom Coughlin crossing his arms on the sideline or Eli Manning shrugging his shoulders after a stalled drive, the Giants have been accused of looking like losers. What is your take?
  • 8) Will Tom Coughlin be the coach of the Giants next season?
  • 9) Which team will win on Sunday?
  • 10) Which team will win the NFC East?
