Good episode, but definitely not a series finale. I hope Ben Silverman will pull the big fat stick out of his ass and give these guys 5-6 more episodes to finish this season and give us a proper finale. But, considering the DVD is scheduled for a April release, then that's doubtful.
By the way, even if NBC does cancel the show, Universal Media Group, which produces the show, could still shop it to another network.

Saracen and Landry stole the show. They play off each other great.

Finally watched the episode... even though it went a bit downhill this season, I still love this show.
Quick question about HS football... isn't it more insulting to be given free reign into the endzone after a blowout than to get shut out? I mean, they pretty much opened up the middle on purpose to let them score. It would've been different to put the second unit in and have them score legit. And there was only one more game left for them to win to make it to the playoffs, right?

Knowing quite a few coaches, I feel that most if not all would feel insulted by such a patronizing action, no matter how well-intentioned. Going scoreless against an opponent is not nearly so bad as having pity bestowed upon you, no matter how glad the opposing coach was to get the score. I'm sure Coach Taylor would feel the same way.

This is a perfect example of how the show has been 'womanized' this year. They've almost totally eliminated football from the show and what little there is is obviously written by someone who doesn't have the slightest clue about either football or men. (No insult to women intended.)
If this is where the show is now, I'm not at all sad to see it cancelled.

I think they drove out there... THAT desperate.

I could only take 3 seconds. She and Tyra and Lyla would have to be naked for me to put up with Stephen A. Smith just being loud.

Just as well. Mattie's seen about 7 seconds of playing time. He's about 2 feet shorter than everyone else and doesn't understand the playground ball-hogging mentality that dominates these games.
