When Caretaker and Crewe are sitting at the table and talking, Caretaker has some bread in his right hand. All of a sudden it changes as he reaches out to shake Crewe's hand and there is no bread. [Caretaker could have put the bread on his tray before he shook hand with Crewe. When they continued the conversation, the bread was back in his hand again.]
An umpire does not announce penalties in a game. The responsibility actually lies with a referee. In the movie, the mistake is probably made to move the plot forward so Crewe could throw the football twice on the umpire's groin as a way of forcing the umpire to call a fair game. [Or it could simply be that since this is not an officially sanctioned game, they've chosen to use a different process.]
There are only two busses leaving the prison - the fancy one for the guards and the crappy one for the inmates - but at the game we see all the good behavior cons and the "cheerleaders". There is no way they all fit on that one bus. [It is quite possible that they left at seperate times. The players leaving first to practice, etc.]

At the end, when Adam Sandler is walking towards the gate out of the football field and the warden is telling the guard to shoot him, two shots show there is no football on the ground. Sandler then picks the football up off the ground from in front of the left side of the gate. [The first shot, where the Warden notices Crewe walking towards the exit, shows there is no football on the ground in front of him, however when the Warden gives the Guard the gun and tells him to shoot Crewe, the Guard yells out Crewe's name and the shot goes back to Crewe, where if you look closely between Crewe's knees [timecode approx 1:41:01 you can see it better if you slow mo the film], you can plainly see the football on the ground. The scene goes back to the Guard and the Warden yelling at him and when the shot goes back the Crewe for the next few frames, the shot is looking through the scope of the rifle and only shows Crewe's top half. The next time you see the ball, is when Crewe bends down to pick it up.]
On the inmates’ first offensive play at the start of the football game, Turley aka "Sasquatch" has long black sleeves like an UnderArmour turf shirt. A few shots later, the team huddles on the sideline and Turley is no longer has the sleeves. Anyone that has played football knows how hard it is to remove the shoulder pads and pro-style jersey like the team is wearing. There is simply not enough time in between these two shots for Turley to remove his jersey, shoulder pads, and turf shirt, and then put his jersey and shoulder pads back on. [He possibly could've rolled his sleeves up, or cut them off because it was a bit too hot.]
Care Taker gives Nelly a pair of cleats he sneaks into the prison, the cleats are black. But in the scene where they play against the guards he is wearing red cleats. [When Nelly is running and you see the "red cleats", it is red tape (so he doesn't sprain his ankle.) The cleats are still black.]
When Adam Sandler leaves his girlfriends party he is carrying a 6 pack and he drops one. When the police pull him over he offers them one and says he has 5 left. He should only have 4. [The first entry is wrong because they suggest that the one can Paul Crewe drops is from the 6 pack. When Paul Crewe leaves his girlfriend's house he has a 6 pack, and another beer to which he is finished. So he finished an extra beer before starting on another one in the car, which would make 5 beers when he is caught by the cops.]
