BigBuff423 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I like Hard Knocks overall, thought it was a cool idea back when it started. However, this might be an "edge" they've really needed since it's gotten a little stale over the last few years. It seems as though the producers and editors have made some poor decisions in how to use the drama on and off the field to illuminate what truly transpires when football isn't happening in these training camps. That's the ticket for Hard Knocks. What pulls back the curtain of Oz and reveals the underlying drama and stories you wouldn't get to see otherwise? If Hard Knocks can get back to that format like it did when it all began and for a number of years after, it's television programming worthy of my (our) time. If they can't, it just becomes another "reality tv" show that lacks punch. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'll watch because it's always interesting to me to view anything NFL behind the scenes. However - they couldn't pick two more boring teams to cover. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Those two teams are BORING! Need a team with drama. Like the Jets who signed a bunch of practice squad guys to be starters. Edited April 7, 2020 by DJB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you see a bunch of weekly prep, what it is like to to get on a winning streak, losing streak, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film crews are probably based in Los Angeles. Not only film crews, but all the gear, equipment, and infrastructure, as well. There's an enormous amount of production that goes into a reality show. I've worked on a few, and even the smaller one have a dozen, or so cameras. Hell's Kitchen had over 60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I am soo happy that the Bills have the kind of leadership that would never, ever, even for a second, consider doing this sensationalized, team destroying crap that is hard knocks. It is meant for teams like last year's Browns--and any team a yahoo like Rex Ryan coaches. Fits in perfectly with those teams. Not the Bills. Completely irresponsible for any NFL GM or coach to want to be part of this drama inducing garbage. Go Beane and McDermott! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
