I do not want this season to end because I don't want this series to end. You're doing a great job at layering these storylines together, Tom. Well fucking done.
Otto asking Ed if he had anything to hide and Ed replying with a "no.. (nervous pause).. of course not" while wearing a Ray Lewis jersey is either the ultimate happy accident or a legendary deep cut by Tom. 🤣
@@sesshyandenvyfreakLamar Jackson isn’t playing Saturday and many more starters aren’t playing as well so the Steelers are probably gonna pull out a close win
@@Edward_Nebiolo did you not see the video? The Ravens bench is gonna watch this and be out for blood. (Now if the Ravens actually win, I will 100% head canon that the Ravens bench is filled with Tom Grossi fans)
This seems like almost the perfect year to be doing the North saga because it has really been a rollercoaster of a season for all of the teams in the North
My brother and I tried to predict who it was, and we said the blood demon as a joke! "PLOT TWIST. BLOOD DEMON. HAHA" Tom, you absolutely maniacal genius. I freakin love you, man. What an episode.
I'd ruled him out right away because of his relationships with Steve and Vince-who, it seemed, both wanted to keep Ref alive. I shouldn't've been so hasty.
So this video was 30 minutes long? It went by like it just were five. I can't say often enough how much I appreciate your work. Truely amazing what a single man can do, with just his creativity and some jerseys.
Lionel standing up for himself and defending the others makes me so happy, he's been through too much to let anyone else go through anything close to what he has edit: Ref got what was coming to him!!!!!
What impresses me most is how the story follows the NFL events. Timmy dies as the Bengals get eliminated. Charles "disappears" when the Bears get eliminated. Can't wait for next week!
Bears weren't mathematically eliminated until the week after the Browns game. In all seriousness though, as soon as they lost to the Browns they were eliminated. It wasn't until the Rams and the Seahawks both won and the Packers and the Vikings didn't tie that the Bears were officially eliminated. Yes, they still would have had a chance if the Vikings and Packers would have tied.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm pretty sure the next season of Coach wraps up this entire series. Now, will there be a lot packed into that season? Absolutely, and I can't wait for it.
This just confirms that Otto is a goddamn monster. Vince shoots at Steve and he doesn’t even flinch. I really hope he gets his comeuppance in the playoffs and by the time this saga ends. Well done, Tom. Well done.
While everyone of Tom’s characters are unique, I think Ed and Lionel are 2 of the best from this season. Blood Demon and Ref are in a class of their own.
Welp, as we Bengal fans prepare for our early exit to that sandy destination, I can only say one thing... Timmy, you were too pure for this world. R.I.P. GL in the playoffs everyone!
The fake out near the end was great. But i sat at the end HOPING that the "subscribe" text wouldn't show up and then it did. Damn you Grossi, damn you. Such a good episode for every character involved, so excited for the next week
Tim and Charles are the only two names I can't figure out the association with their teams for. I'm sure I'll smack myself once I find out cuz they'll be obvious but they've eluded me so far.
@@albertzhu7528 A while ago I tried looking up a Tim associated with the Bengals. I found a player from a long time ago (whose last name I can't recall off the top of my head) who is renowned in Bengals history but I'd never heard of him despite being a pretty serious football fan for almost 60 years.
This is a cinematic masterpiece Tom. The acting is absolutely incredible! Tom I know you said you wouldn’t do it, but you really should consider doing every AFC and NFC team’s reaction. Have every division come together and go all out! Have all the teams and do one massive one. That would be freaking amazing!
This is the best one yet. Poetic Justice how Lionel knew how to kill Ref but didn't after all the Lions' years of crapppy calls. Just awesome!! Can't wait to see what happens next! 😊
I’m so sorry, this whole series has been amazing to watch this story develop and Tom continues to only get better and better, but him as dead ref slumped over in the chair had me fucking WHEEZING XD. Get this man his Oscar!
So, behind the scenes question, did you use jerseys on racks or cups with names to keep track of where everyone was and where your looking at? The script must have been really long with, looks at, glances towards movement descriptions. Well done!
Tom, I watched this during the premier and had no idea it was even close to 30 minutes until I saw the timestamp now. You really are an incredible storyteller.
I love, love, love these. ....... the ONLY thing that could improve on these would be some L and J cuts of the conversation. The tense stares work. Still, overlapping the takes could add that final touch. I say in full acknowledgement that the amount of time and work to produce this content is crazy. Keep killing it, Tom
Also, while the main storylines work well, the side ones he has a bit of trouble with. Also, some writing cliches, but honestly, I just want a true monologue for the ages!
It's not gonna happen, just like the Bengals one appearance to the Superbowl and losing, same will happen to Detroit. Repeat of week 1 with the chiefs taking the Superbowl crown instead of Detroit lol
And the Oscar for best Original Screenplay goes to Tom Grossi. Also former NFL also former “NFL Fan of Thr Year!” Current anchorman/analyst/host of his own show for (insert major network here) OR self-employed journalist with millions of followers, whose popularity in the content creation field rivals/passes the likes of Pat MacAfee & the Kelce Brothers. Tell me I’m crazy.
@@Calibur2487gotta start with smaller film festivals (Sundance & whatever I’m no expert) because it’s all about “who you know.” But once his undeniable talent garners attention from the “right people” he can easily make Oscar-worthy content. If he wants to. Tom’s got so many talents, whatever his “next steps” are could be writing/acting/directing about whatever he wants, a job at any major network he chooses, or he can just continue to grow and be ludicrously successful on his own. That’s natural talent & passion & intelligence combined with WORK ETHIC, I’m always saying the posse will be able to say “we knew him when.” Edit; grammar, punctuation, just a pretty low-quality comment that needed cleaned up. And clean it I did.
Ahahah! I called it! The murder of the eliminated teams! 👏🏼 This is genius, Tom! Your acting, the cinematography, the drama, the plot, everything is perfect! You are the best
Love it Tom great plot and twists! Absolutely amazing and emotional.loved seeing people stand up to Vince (except Otto who didn't even flich when his son was being threatened) and loved every moment. I wish this series could go on forever.
Brad Allen wasn’t a true impact performer before that Detroit-Dallas game, so his absence should not be too much of a problem. We should be fine, especially with Carl Cheffers leading the way.
Absolutely Hilarious! I can't help it say that I've tried living in someone else's shoes all my life. (American Indian teaching?) I can see you scripting this and then to see it played out brings (for some reason) Hilarious out loud, deep from my heart, joyous laughter from out of my loins!!! TY!
Is Breck going to show up and recruit someone or is he only going to show up for the final season of coach? Also rip Timmy, it’s time for Papa Cacaw to get his revenge
This series is amazingly well done and don't want it to end. It is amazing that a one person production looks better than a multi-million dollar production. Fantastic job and continue to do some chaotic good
I do not want this season to end because I don't want this series to end. You're doing a great job at layering these storylines together, Tom. Well fucking done.
Same
Same
This is the end of the series? He's not doing another next season.
I'm trying not to panic. 😅😢
I like it but i would have liked to have seen the Lions get a tad angry at ref cause of the dallas debacle
I hope you this next season. Made the season oddly more enjoyable than others. I look forward to your videos!
Otto asking Ed if he had anything to hide and Ed replying with a "no.. (nervous pause).. of course not" while wearing a Ray Lewis jersey is either the ultimate happy accident or a legendary deep cut by Tom. 🤣
"Try hands to the face." Perfect last words. Thank you, Tom.
Or how bout, “I’m gonna run off the last 10 seconds of your life. Oh no are you out of timeouts? HUH?!”

He is the NFL script writer.
As a Bengals fan I 100% disagree.
Losing Watson was scary, but Flacco pulled through.
@@PenguTT44-ej1wzlosing burrow was scary, we didn’t pull through 😭
My brother and I tried to predict who it was, and we said the blood demon as a joke! "PLOT TWIST. BLOOD DEMON. HAHA" Tom, you absolutely maniacal genius. I freakin love you, man. What an episode.
It had to be the Blood Demon, on the orders of Otto. But I didn’t expect it to actually be BD to pull the trigger himself
I'd ruled him out right away because of his relationships with Steve and Vince-who, it seemed, both wanted to keep Ref alive. I shouldn't've been so hasty.
Netflix need to sign Grossi up better acting then most shows
Definitely better acting than Brad Allen.
They would cast him as a black Asian gay woman.
NOOOO! He needs to remain 'our secret'!! Shhhh!
And He should get fans to help him play the NFL teams I get to be Ravens
He don’t need them
So this video was 30 minutes long? It went by like it just were five. I can't say often enough how much I appreciate your work. Truely amazing what a single man can do, with just his creativity and some jerseys.
Love that the Bengals jersey is "goes meow."
As a Lions fan, ngl Ref had it coming.
As a Lions fan myself, Ref definitely had it coming.
Ref should have gotten worse
I'm surprised. Figured the only reason Lionel hadn't killed Ref already was that he did not know how.
He won you the division. Now you're bitching because he cost you seeding.
@@ephemispriest8069in what world did the ref win the Lions anything ?
Cinematic masterpiece. Tom, you've outdone yourself
This might actually be better than the Interview 😮
I love the ravens being rational 'can we just walk to a neighbors house?' 😂
It was EVERY Lion's FAN!! We've had enough of the Refs screwing us over and over! LOL!
I think you missed the part at the beginning where ref has been fixing calls for the cheese for years and at the end got what he deserved.
LOL
Fail Mary?
@@Ron898karma
Ok I get that the last game was bad, but you can't blame the refs every time you lose
Lionel standing up for himself and defending the others makes me so happy, he's been through too much to let anyone else go through anything close to what he has
edit: Ref got what was coming to him!!!!!
What impresses me most is how the story follows the NFL events. Timmy dies as the Bengals get eliminated. Charles "disappears" when the Bears get eliminated. Can't wait for next week!
Charles is already eliminated. He just has to take Vince down with him.
Charles disappeared before the Bears were eliminated though. I do like that Vince wanted to find Charles for the showdown.
Bears weren't mathematically eliminated until the week after the Browns game. In all seriousness though, as soon as they lost to the Browns they were eliminated. It wasn't until the Rams and the Seahawks both won and the Packers and the Vikings didn't tie that the Bears were officially eliminated. Yes, they still would have had a chance if the Vikings and Packers would have tied.
Grossi, as a Bears fan, the Getsy vs Barry bowl will be unforgettable

Hopefully we can contain Aaron Jones this time lol

The beach description was chef’s kiss. It was emotional and perfect!
Tom has some seriously lofty goals. Though, if anyone could pull off a Fan of the Year award and then snag a Golden Globe or Oscar, it's probably Tom.
That player name for the Bengals fan is as perfect as this channel.

The subtlety of a piano instrumental playing "Wicked Game" under Vince and Ref's conversation is a nice touch.
Neve mind Fan of the Year, give this man a freakin' frackin' Oscar!
You have to make a final episode with all of the episodes put together beginning to end, so I can watch it as one epic movie.
