Punching Bag Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Would it not be more interesting for the loser of the Superbowl to be the one covered by this show?

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Never watched an episode and have limited TV time. Is HardKnocks worth watching? Training camp seems boring enough, not sure how they spice it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll go back and watch a good season. Out of all the teams that have been on it, which were the best?

Mr Info Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 5 hours ago, Rocky Landing said: Teams are not eligible to be on Hard Knocks if they have been in the playoffs the previous two seasons. Eligibility rules: Franchises are not required to be included as potential "Hard Knocks" participants if they 1.) have a first-year head coach, 2.) have made the playoffs in the last two seasons, or 3.) have appeared on the show in the past 10 years. Teams are, however, also allowed to volunteer for inclusion. I suspect Jerry, being Jerry, always volunteers the Cowboys. Makes me appreciate Bills ownership even more.

It was ugly. Boys are in trouble this year. My expert opinion after watching 50+ min of produced television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell how much is their relationship and how much is just Dak being ultra competitive and having some big feelings around coming back (and having to sit / wait to ease back in both before and after the strain.)

Hard Knocks is great for informing my terrible "Sleeper" picks in fantasy football and hot takes about free agent signings after the next Devon Cajuste gets endlessly hyped and then cut.

Albany,n.y. Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 One thing I noticed that was different this year was they usually show the homes of some players with the wives or girlfriends getting ready to go to camp. This year they never showed the women or the homes. Just now, The Jokeman said: Indeed, Hue showed what a horrible leader he was that season. I'm just glad we didn't name him HC as remember being in his corner with Schwartz as DC back in the day. I though he got a raw deal when the Raiders fired him.

Same as he got the Raiders to around .500 but after watching him in Cleveland I was like wtf? Haley and WIlliams were the worst coordinators he could pick as both weren't going to follow him especially once he was like "My way is the only way etc". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseBill Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 My take on the first episode... 1.That was a weird segment where you had the Dallas ST coach talking to his players about his vasectomy. What the heck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen the Jets on Hard Knocks with Rex (which has some classic scenes in it) I couldn't believe we hired him. Any intelligent person who did his due diligence on Rex would have watched those episodes and would have come away with a "there's no way this guy can lead an NFL team". I had the same thoughts about Hue after watching the Browns season and about Joe Philbin after watching the Dolphins season. This show, which has become somewhat trite and boring, does a great job at showing the head coach for what he really is, warts and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just watched the first episode. Genuinely could not imagine being a fan of the Cowboys. Such a soulless, corporate organization. Typically, I’m a big Hard Knocks fan and find something interesting, but this season will be rough if the rest of the way is anything like the first episode.

BillsfaninSB Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I enjoy Hard Knocks for the most part. Really like the behind the scenes stuff during the preseason games. Something last season really missed. I also like it when they focus on a few players trying to make the team and watching their performance in the preseason games. I find myself rooting for them. I hope this season gets that started soon. I’m not as interested in watching a 1st round pick’s progress. You know he is making the team. Parsons may turn out to be a great LB but he is annoying.
