WotAGuy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Owners pass 'Hard Knocks' rule at NFL Fall Meeting "A source in the room told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport the league passed a rule Tuesday during the NFL Fall Meeting that will compel one team per year to participate in the HBO/NFL Films joint venture, "Hard Knocks."" This is great news for me as a fan of the show, and the criteria for selection makes the Bills a viable candidate..... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000259014/article/owners-pass-hard-knocks-rule-at-nfl-fall-meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KollegeStudnet Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Could be interesting to watch...the past 4 seasons should've been called Mediocre-to-Boring Knocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy12 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 This assures the Bills never be the subject of "Hard Knocks" as the NFL/HBO will compel a large market team to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Weren't the Bills asked to participate 2-3 years ago and they refused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Next year will be a good time to go to San Diego, Oakland, Atlanta, or Cleveland. Teams at a pinnacle or on the rise that will need some boost. Cleveland would be worth watching, IMO. Does this mean the team will be required to comply?

NoSaint Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think its a terrible rule, but if the owners passed it, so be it - apparently enough disagree despite a ton turning it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Does this mean the team will be required to comply? I believe so, so based on their rules.... All organizations will be eligible with the exception of those that have a first-year head coach; teams that have made the playoffs in at least one of the last two seasons; and teams that have participated in the previous 10 seasons. Last year playoff teams : Colts, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, Redskins, Vikings, Packers, 49ers, Falcons plus this years playoff teams would not be on. In addition, previously seen teams on the show in the last 10 years (according to Wikipedia) are the Chiefs, Cowboys, Bengals, Jets, and Dolphins. We'll have to see if any teams get a new coach over the off season. So right now, depending on the Playoffs and coach firings, the Bills have a 1 in 16 chance of being on the show next year.
