Beef Jerky Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 @RyanTalbotBills Are the Bills no longer the favorite to appear on Hard Knocks? http://www.scout.com/nfl/bills/story/1646536-bills-no-longer-hard-knocks-favorite According to a report from Pro Football Talk, it appears that Buffalo may not be HBO's first choice. Mike Florio reported on Saturday that the New Orleans Saints are bracing themselves to be involuntarily chosen to appear on Hard Knocks. Yea pick the Saints. Rex doesn't want to be on it again.

metzelaars_lives Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yea pick the Saints. Rex doesn't want to be on it again. Thank God, it would've been such a distraction. Saints are doomed now. I thought they might improve next year but with this incredible distraction, I can't see them finishing any better than 3-13.

machine gun kelly Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 If HBO had any influence with the NFL, they would push the Rams to accept. Kronke is a business man and free advertising is free advertising. I don't care as far as the Bills getting the nod, it has not seemed to affect performance that year. Then again, we're talking about a publicity hound in Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rex was such a publicity hound he would be seeking to be on the show and last year he said he had no interest in it but anyone is free to interpret facts anyway they wish to see them.

Dr. Fong Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It seems odd to me that the Saints would be the choice. I guess the production staff just wants a trip to New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOKIE Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) It seems odd to me that the Saints would be the choice. I guess the production staff just wants a trip to New Orleans. New Orleans is a crappy place, IMO. My strongest memory of New Orleans is the smell of urine. It was everywhere. Grossest city Ive ever visited. And i have been to Jaurez. They've had a thorough douche since then so, what do I know?. Edited February 27, 2016 by SAMMY HANDWICH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Would be awesome for the fans to see the team on hard knocks. This team isn't going anywhere with Rex anyway so what's the harm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think Bills were favorites and they said no. 2 Ryan Bros would be comedy gold. Saints are an obvious choice if they are forced to make a team do it. The team is going down the crapper and this is one way of keeping fans interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Buffalo and love the city, NO is also an amazing city. And your last statement shows low class at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynical Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 This is like the one thing you and I agree on. My brother doesn't post on here but checks out the site semi-often and always gets a big kick out of the people who insist that they don't want the Bills on Hard Knocks because it would be a distraction. It's a pretty laughable opinion to have. For one, it's not a distraction. And you would know this how? Lets just gloss over the reality that Rex Ryan has been on it once before, and has no interest in doing it again. Lets focus on two NFL rules regarding this show. 1. If no team volunteers for the show, the NFL will choose one. Kind of an odd rule, don't you think? If teams have nothing to lose, why are they not lining up to appear on it? 2. Teams with first year head coaches are not allowed to appear. Why not? Why do they get a pass? And for two, if you are a Bills fan and are at all familiar with Hard Knocks then you should be salivating at the idea of getting that type of access/inside look at the team. It would be amazing. Yet, somehow, people do not grasp in order to get that access, the coaching staff and/or organization might find the process distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
