East Dillon HAS DONE IT! | Friday Night Lights

[@brenmidov]

Just wanna say all these years later that I respect the massive risk FNL took in switching which team we were following. The new cast and characters shook up the show and kept it fresh. They absolutely killed it with the east Dillon storyline in my opinion

[@AmazonEnforcer]

One thing that I loved about this season is Buddy and his loyalty to Coach Taylor. The Panthers was his life and once everything started to change he became a supporter of the Lions. Seeing him cheer for the Lions was just one of my favorite arcs of this season.

Everything about the shift from just Dillon high to West and East Dillon High Schools was phenomenal. I went from LOVING the Dillon Panthers to hating them, as they were led by Joe and JD McCoy. Loved seeing the looks on Joe, Wade, and the Mayor when Landry put that field goal in.

@@Rudi_Mentary723 Landry helped a little, and with him being the final member of the OG's still playing, him being in East Dillon definitely helped the transition.

[@gregdrake5069]

I love how openly happy Coach Taylor is when they win. Normally he keeps calm and acts professional. Here he can't help but just yell and jump around in happiness. You can tell how much this particular win meant to him. He needed this more than a championship

Landry was cursed. He Joined the Panthers right after they won state and left the Lions right before they won. Almost everyone he played with has a ring but he doesn't.

@@PeteMcCorvey I had a feeling those white jerseys were going to come at some point in the series. You can’t play every game at home and had to play on the road a couple times in a season. I know this game was suppose to be home for East Dillon however the game got moved to Dillon thanks to JD and his buddies.

[@PatrickJ12334]

Nice basic jerseys.

[@kevinmulligans67273]

At first coach Taylor thought Landry’s name was “Lance” so that’s what he called him, but quickly after I think he still called him Lance even though he knew his real name because he liked him and it was like a personal thing he had with him like coach had with all his players. I noticed throughout the show at important moments coach called Landry by his real name. Like he did here and when he went to talk to him in the cafeteria after the forfeit. These two had a great and underrated relationship throughout the entire show.

The sad thing was, that the Boosters fell for Joe McCoy that easily. Although they knew that Joe didn't give 2 shits about Panther football, they let him weasel his way into the head of the table. I mean Come on now, Joe McCoy was not even a Panther Alumni. Not to mention he threatened to take away State Championships from the Panthers after Tami was just doing her job by having Luke Cafferty transferred to East Dillon. Even after that, the Booster Club still kept Joe around. I guess money really manipulates the minds.

[@leanardpoon6219]

Money talks.

[@willmcraney9031]

Yeah, Joe didn’t care about the panthers. He was too busy trying to promote JD to Coach and weasel his way into the boosters. JD could have waited a season for Matt to graduate. Also, JD was too immature as quarterback. He had the arm but not the leadership. Taylor didn’t deserve to be fired. Joe really ruined the panther program in my opinion

[@AJnzxv1]

Such a great scene, its the most emotional Coach Taylor ever got after a victory, the acting is fantastic.

[@leanardpoon6219]

I really liked the relationship between Luke and Tinker. Luke was nearly as talented as Smash as a tailback. Luke should've got a scholarship to play D1 instead of ending up like Matt's dad. Do you see how Luke and Matt are similar?

[@Rudi_Mentary723]

Tinker had a better relationship with Luke's pig to be honest ! But agreed, Luke was a close second ! "Tinker, tailor, soldier, football player !" Man had some good moves too !

[@Muunilist]

I think it's important for realness yo show that not all football player in high school can have a scholarship to university. That's just the way it is. For a Vince Howard or a Smash Williams there are dozen leaving out.

[@alphanerd7221]

Luke was much slower. In high school he made up with that with strength but in college he wouldn't be able to muscle those guys around. Smash was great because nobody could keep up with him. Smash's run times are just under Olympic qualifiers for track.
