In the first game that Washington won, why in the hell did they have Falco, their quarterback, out trying to recover an onside kick? I never saw Peyton Manning or Tom Brady do that. You can't tell me they didn't have anymore availiable players to do it. Also, Falco immidiately calls a timeout at the end of the play. The clock automatically stops at the end of a kickoff. He just wasted a timeout
share--it was in the script.
shareThe whole movie didn't make sense.
First of all if Brian Murphy was that damn good and just happened to be deaf, wouldn't SOMEONE have taken a chance on him?
Coach McGinity said everyone had played football before but as funny as Orlando Jones was, his character Clifford Franklin had no background at all. Least Fumiko was explained as an experiment.
You're right on par with the Falco on the kickoff/calling timeout.
Here's another thing, O'Neil said he brought back Martel and Carr. You can clearly see both of them as the game begins, yet you don't see Carr on the field or ever again for that matter after.....at least give a character SOMETHING to do.
It's just a movie! Sit back and enjoy.

Oh yeah! I couldn't believe that! Had me up all night I was so upset. Imagine the cheek of mentioning somebody's name in a movie and not having a scene featuring him! Horrors!

If that was your rapier like wit, you need a sword sharpener mon ami.
shareand then there is the scene with the puking in the huddle at the beginning of the first game ... when falco finally gives in an says they can move the huddle, he says to move it to the left ... it's a circular huddle ... yet this team, who can't do anything right, manages to all move the same way when round about half of them should be going to 'their left' which would be to falco's right ...
or maybe falco knew that the guys on that side of the huddle always confused their right with their left hand? so he knew they would be moving the 'right' (or left) way? lol ...
and KHayes666, good point on the brian murphy character ... if he was that good, some team (i'm thinking the Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders lol) would have taken a chance even tho he was deaf ...
Larry Brown, a running back with the washington redskins in the late 60s to mid-70s, got a new coach in 1970 and this coach noticed that when Brown was lined up to one side (i forget which) that he got off the ball slower than the other ... he figured out that brown was hard of hearing in one ear ... he got him a corrective aid and brown went on to have all-pro seasons thereafter ...
by the way, the coach was Vince Lombardi in his last year of football (and life) ...
and while a bit hard of hearing isn't deaf, still, a very talented tight end doesn't have to have perfect hearing to be an effective contributor on the team ...
take care,
