Last Guy on the Bench Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Ha ha. I really enjoyed that (a sign of draft addiction - another sign is I've watched that terrible movie twice). Telesco is the dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it really broke the immersion for me when Telesco used defibrillators on someone whose heart was already stopped. Everyone knows defibs are for shocking an irregular heartbeat back into rhythm, not restart a stopped one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Can't wait for the sequel where Callahan becomes a HOFer while Mack and Jennings are massive busts since it's the Browns. Why didn't they have the guy who directed Moneyball do this movie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Never watched it but definitely pure fiction if the Browns had a good draft. Definitely would have watched it if they had made Buffalo the main character team though which under Brandon would have been just as much pure fiction.

I thought them drafting a RB in the first round was the most egregious plot line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally Buffalo was supposed to be the main character team. I believe they opted against it because it would have made us look foolish based on the storyline. I don’t remember exactly. But it was talked about when the movie came out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) I'd really like someone to do another NFL Draft movie and do it more accurately to the reality this time. Since when is 2 1st's and a 3rd to acquire the #1 Pick in the Draft during a year that has a Franchise QB in the pool something you balk at?

Costner contacted Russ Brandon about a trade. It was about 30 seconds of Bills game in that movie. Brandon looked like a tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been more shot in Buffalo in previous years tho point to Buffalo actually spending some tax incentives to do it. I just think it looked bad for us and that’s why they nixxed it. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 You'd think they would at least get what draft boards look like correct. "They only have one player at each position in every round?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobillswin Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 What is Telesco's reputation as a GM? It seems like they draft generally well but I feel the Chargers have been underachieving for the last 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieG Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The funniest part of the video was when they showed Telesco the scene where Costner makes his first pick and showing the boos from the Radio City crowd, the Cleveland bars, etc...Telesco just says "been there". I don't if they put enough pressure on Kevin Costner in the movie. His dad, a legendary Cleveland coach, died a week before the draft. This was the same dad/coach who Costner fired the season before; His secret girlfriend announced she was pregnant the night before the draft; His owner is demanding he "make a splash" in the draft; He's got a coach he never wanted to hire and doesn't like; His mother and ex wife show up with his dad's ashes a few hours before the draft demanding an ashes scattering ceremony; HIs scouts apparently hadn't done any homework on the QB he is intending to draft; IDK...maybe they could have added a few things like...he had a leg amputated and a lung removed a few days before the draft...or his brother Fredo went behind his back to be screwed over by the Rooney Family. Or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they draft generally well but I feel the Chargers have been underachieving for the last 15 years. He’s had some big draft hits but clear misses as well. The general theme is that he’s a good GM but has struggled hiring the right HC. Herbert should buy him time but that division is brutal and he needs to make the playoffs.

benderbender Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Not a “take my ball and go home” type of guy, but as after I heard they pulled out of NY and changed it to the Browns, I was out. It worked out in the end. Browns did us a solid by taking Mayfield four years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I find it realistic that they portrayed the Jaguars GM as too young to take the pressure so he took advantage of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
