the fact that the playoffs weren't mentioned at all has always bothered me the most. I think the ending could've made more sense had they said something about it.

I just assume it’s the last game that team ever played. They forfeited the playoffs.

No. Coach Kilmer explained it to Mix in the movie. Mox is like, we scored a TD and you're mad. It's not that. BK was looking at the big picture and the team football philosophy. He said he wanted to run the ball in order to control the clock and slow the game down. Maybe West Canaan did not have a good defense and needed the offense to eat clock and grind drives out to keep the D off the field.

Again, another instance were Mox acts like a spoiled brat. It's all about him. He doesn't even care about the team or Coyote Football. He's the starting QB who despises everything about football in that town.

Kilmer is living in the past, in matter of a few seasons Texas high school football is going to be dominated by spread football and Mike Leach style offenses.

Lance would be a hot coaching prospect very soon.

Billy Bob

now we are on to the biggest plot hole in the movie. Billy Bob would suck at football. Big fat guys like that are soft and slow. Especially for a run focused Kilmer offense that likely needed a pulling guard.

That hook and ladder play call was pretty obvious.

Why did they even show it like that? His sign was a hook to the mouth and then climbing a ladder.

The other team should have been all over it. They could have called it the oopty oop, or anything else for that matter.

Did casual people watching the movie even know what a hook and ladder is?

Love this damn movie
