I havn't kept up with it like I normally do but surely they can rely on more than just Hemmingway. They pulled it back at least to get into the finals by the skin of their teeth and they beat the Green Bays int he play offs who've had a pretty good season too. So I can only hope once they hit the bottom the fact they reached the finals means they've started to get back up.
I can only hope they pull it back like France did in the RWC final.. but instead of the near miss loss they have a near miss victory.
In the NFL you cannot really look at games whether good or bad that happened say more than 4 weeks ago..as a team gets its energy and enthusiasm and that cohesiveness in stretches, the Giants are a team that has become one of the very best the last 4 games or weeks, as with the Patriots..with that said..if you analyze both of their conference championship games..neither team actually won their game (so to speak) as their opponents lost it..there is somewhat of a difference there but in the final analysis the final score is all that counts..so with that said I think a team will lose it rather than 1 win it.
