Hehehe!
For the record.. the Giants-Cowboys record since this movie released is 21-14 in favor of Big Blue. (1/15/12)
By the way.. I'll call it "Cowboys Stadium" when you actually beat us in there... until then it will be known as "Giants Stadium South"
No the Giants always beat the Cowboys. :)

No coz the cowboys didn't deserve to win
They didn't just accept they got victory over the Giants so they had to rub their faces in it and were always mean to them
So they didn't deserve to win
The Giants tried their best and the team and Danny Both surprised Kevin
Besides alot of people don't get given chances on teams i wasn't picked, so i joined another team and our team won and my teacher was shocked and i said to her don't judge a book by its cover :)

Giants ftw!When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
I understand it was a kid's movie and they had to let the underdogs win, but I think they could have kept it clean and let the obvious thing happen and have the Cowboys win. They still could have demonstrated a positive lesson had the Giants playing better and begrudingly earning the respect of the other team. The Giant's coach explained that he was able to win "one time" so it is reasonable that they could (as a team) have one play where they beat the Cowboys... much like the scene where they get one yard. Given the size difference of the teams, that would pretty much be their victory.
The movies though are a nice escape from reality. It almost goes without saying what happens in real life when the underdogs face off against the favorites. Whether its in sports, work, or social situations those with better abilities thrive.
"What are you looking at"?
The Cowboys had better athletic skills, but the Giants had other skills that they applied to the game leading to the outcome. I don't think anything is really obvious. If the Cowboys were supposed to win, they would have, but they assumed that they would win and they got the sour.

Wow...detailed and thorough...but still..not buying it.
True, the reasons these games are played is to determine who is better any given time. It isn't always the best team on paper but the team that plays better at that time. But during the movie they made the point that they each had the "one time" where they beat the favored individual. When one reaches the levels of the pros or even college, there is always a more considerable chance for even the lowest of underdogs to win....even if it is scarce. But if you have a team that wins a national title going against a small state college, the difference of skill level will not be remotely fair no matter how inspired.
From the movie, Spike was basically unstoppable to the point that it took the entire Giant's team to take him down after he always made good yardage. The whole team was the biggest and most gifted..handpicked by the coach. The Giants had players with some skills and Becky was truly a great player. But in reality, the difference not only in size and athletic ability, but skill would be an overwhelming defeat...just like the first half. You get a group of kids that can literally pick up and throw the others, they will have no problem dominating.
Now the kids are 7 - 11 years old as stated...and here is the reality of it all. Kids at that age are starting to get a bit stronger and the differences in their abilities is becoming more apparent. The Giants were mostly the less athletically inclined, somewhat skilled but inferior to their counterparts, and had less unity as well. Basically (as stated) the "one time" would be them gaining the single yard in the second half. After that, the score would eventually be called via a mercy rule. There is no conceivable way one skillset so many levels above at the 7 - 11 year old level could be made up for by sheer will.
Considering this was right in the middle of their Superbowl wins of the 90s, I thought it was cool they took them down a notch. Not a Cowboy fan, but I was when I was a kid and I had no problem when they lost in the movie.
shareNope the Cowboys deserved to lose. Their offense was good but their defense was terrible. They let the Giants back in the game after they had commanding lead in the first half.
Also the Cowboys had no passing game what so ever. All they did was run the ball with Spike.
The Giants weren't as bad as they seem. They made mistakes in the first half but stopped making them in the second. They also had an advantage at one key position and that was Quarterback.
To add what pretty much everyone else was saying; the better team actually won. Yes the Cowbows had the stronger team with a better athletic ability and money budget but the Giants had the better strategic team. It was litteraly the battle of Brains over Bronze. The Giants players had the litteraly better plays for their positions they were picked for. They were balanced giveing them more options to attack the cowboys, while the cowboys were built around Spike. Giants had both QB and 3 HB of incredible speed that the cowboys couldnt match, one being the Ice Box that could match the cowboys only weapon Spike. Since cowboys only ran with spike or threw to spike it made them predictable. While Giants used cunning and speed like the "intemidation" scene (after all, stronger as they might be, they were still kids). Also after Spike did the late hit on Junior, he should have been evicted from the game plus a 15yrd penalty. Meaning the entire 4th should have been without Spike n who would cowboys turn to then? The last play that won the Giants the game was just an amazing display of all the advantages the Giants had over the Cowboys (strategic game planing, and speed) after faking the cowboys and taking the defense strongest players out the play it was all left down to speed, no cowboy could keep up with Giants, all the misdirection, just created to much distance and open field giving the much faster Giants "running room".
shareYes I was annoyed.
Look, I can study football non-stop, understand a playbook and be the smartest football guy out there (know all the routes, moves, defensive schemes, etc) but if I don't have the speed/strength I'm useless. End of day football is a very physical game.
IMO the Giants should've given the Cowboys a decent game (like lost 31-21) and commanded respect from the Cowboys and formed one team because they played hard and actually made it a good game.
Actually, football is 80% mental and only 40% physical...
Milo, I've told you again and again - please, don't walk on the chickens!
Yah, that's probably true in the NFL where EVERYONE is already absolute athletic monsters. Put a High School team that understands ALL the plays and intricacies of football against the worst team in the NFL with guys that are discipline issues, and it'd be a MASSACRE.
