the replacements ending HD

This is epic!
When the Washington Sentinels left the stadium that date, there was no tickertape parade, no endorsement deals for sneakers or soda pop, or breakfast cereal. Just a locker to be cleaned out, and a ride home to catch. But what they didn't know, was that their lives had been changed forever because they had been part of something great. And greatness, no matter how brief, stays with a man. Every athlete dreams of a second chance, these men lived it.

The message of this movie has a greater range than only pro sports. Its about life itself. Any person can relate to this movie. Doubt, disapointment, underachieving, struggle, fear are feelings that all of us experienced at least once in life. This movie make us think that you can overcome any issues, problems or limitations that you might have and achieve sucess with the right mind set. This movie isn't a fictional story of a QB, is about a few individuals who hit rock bottom and came back.

[@jrinthe8187]

Great movie. Under acknowledged for being that. Gene Hackman is excellent as a coach, remember Hoosiers? Reeves was very believable as our tortured hero. Given a second chance they all succeeded, thanks to belief in Reeves and Hackman. Not many sports movies like this one. Well scripted, casted and played out. Also have an ongoing crush for Brooke.

[@kegginstructure]

This wicked little movie was not highly rated by critics because it combined a lot of cliches. But it was engaging and funny and sweet. And, now and then, extremely profound. For example, the "quicksand" speech. And it showed a story about how shared strife establishes bonds between men who faced adversity together. A story of redemption, a story of building character, a story of finding the best in people. What's not to like? (And of course, the really friendly cheerleaders and the butt-slap is a hoot all by itself.)

[@tharengore7215]

What's cool is they used the Ravens stadium for this and as the Ravens staff watched Keanu throw the ball and learn the position they offered him chance to make the team. As Keanu was making all the throws in this movie.

in reality, if this was real, NFL teams would be offering contacts to Falco so quick.

[@adamginn776]

grigs84 ! Exactly. Qbs are so hard to come by somebody would give him a shot

[@mlo009]

That's very true, a winning QB (bringing a team to make the playoffs) would be swept right away. But it may take this exact team for Falco to excel, where everyone has each other's back. In some NFL teams, there are diva WRs to deal with, and coach has to make sure the O-line would not abandon him.

[@hagamapama]

Teams would try, but the union would throw a fit. Remember, from the PA's perspective, Falco's not a player, he's a scab, and a lot of NFLPA players would put a few choice epithets before the word "scab."

[@evantosu11]

I like to think that’s what happened for Falco and Brian

[@sonofizzy]

And the rest of the team. They are all now both crowd - pleasers and winners with media appeal. As for the "players union", there would be a way for them to join if that is all that stood in the way of them being on the regular roster.

[@kentgladden4316]

This film takes me back to seeing movies as a child. It's light-hearted. It's fun. It's not complicated. There's a him, there's a her, & there's a quest.

So this movie inspired by the 1987 Redskins. As a result of a players strike, they were forced to play the final three games with replacement players. They won all three to qualify for the postseason, and the original players went on to win the Super Bowl. The team never mentioned the players or their contributions to the championship, even though they wouldn't have made the playoffs without them. That was until 2018 when pressure from the fans forced Washington to finally recognize the replacements on the team record and give them Super Bowl rings
