EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- With their season unraveling after an embarrassing fourth-quarter meltdown against Tennessee, the Giants held a players-only meeting Monday.

An attempt to regroup before their NFC East showdown with Dallas this weekend, the 15- to 20-minute meeting was described by center Shaun O'Hara as "a little extra time among friends." It took place after coach Tom Coughlin spoke to the team about having its heart cut out in a 24-21 loss in which the Titans scored all their points in the final 9:35.

This was necessary. This is just what the doctor ordered too...police themselves. Let them put everything out on the table.

They know their season is probably on the line on Sunday.

Here are some quotes courtesy of BigBlueInteractive regarding the players only meeting and other situations...

MLB Antonio Pierce on the players-only meeting that was held yesterday at the Meadowlands: "It was a good meeting. There was good communication, and it was good for people to hear certain things from certain people — especially for our younger guys. If we were in there bickering, yelling, screaming and cussing and going into a rage and a tirade, that's not a good example. We're trying to help our younger guys who are trying to help us win right now…The message was that it's a five-game season and every goal that we want is still reachable. And as far as this week, guys need to be accountable, guys need to get things off their chest, guys need to be more focused, guys need to do what was said. It's basically what was said when we were 1-2: If you think you're doing well enough to help us win right now, then you need to look at yourself again."

Pierce on Coughlin: "I think he's doing a good job. I back the guy. I don't think guys are quitting to the point where you're saying, 'Well, he doesn't have control of this team.' That's not been the case. He's got guys who just didn't make plays at the right time and guys making mistakes. He can coach, but he can't play."

DE Michael Strahan on WR Plaxico Burress, who appeared to give up on the play where QB Eli Manning was first intercepted against the Titans: "You can't give up, you can't quit. You're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on us. We've worked too hard to have that type of stuff happen. I don't quite understand what his lack of motivation is in those situations. But I'm going to try to see what it is and if I can talk to him about it. He's too great of a player to look at him and say, 'He's a quitter.'"

They can yell at each other all they want and tell reporters whatever. The only thing that matters is how you play the damn game and I know the Giants will continue to play uninspired, penalty laden, sloppy football which will lead to a Cowboy win. Hell I heard about 40% of the tickets sold were season ticket holders selling 'em to Cowboy fans. It's over for the Giants. And their future is bleak...they have too much cash invested in talentless, lazy troublemakers which will burden them for possibly the next 12 years. My advice is get the NFL package and pick a real team...or pick a team that actuall plays the game to win like the Jets. Plus the Jets now have cheerleaders so make mine green!
