Doc Brown Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 NFL has changed qualifications for Hard Knocks meaning the Bills are eligible to be forced to do it this summer as they removed the playoff criteria. Here are the only teams that aren't qualified. They have a first-year head coach in place. They're participating in the in-season show during the upcoming year or the following season. They have appeared on "Hard Knocks" in the past eight years. They apparently will also feature an In Season Hard Knocks where they'll follow four teams in a division. It's doubtful the AFC East will be chosen this year since the Fish did it last year and the Jets were in the summer addition. I used to be against it because of the possible distraction but it's not like avoiding the show has led to a Super Bowl birth. I would enjoy the behind the scenes stuff and get a better sense of the personalities of the coaches and players. Would be curious if you guys would welcome it or think it's too big of a distraction. 3 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) I think AFC South makes the most sense. But I would love to see behind the scenes McDermott. McDermott is very mysterious as a coach. He doesn’t like to let people in. Edited March 27 by Buffalo_Stampede 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD would have a kniption if he had to be on tape for Hard Knocks.

Matt_In_NH Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It is a distraction but I would watch it. The show is way tuned down with the actual drama and key conversations showed. The teams clearly have influence on what is airable so the show is not what it once was. If was able to choose, I would say no for the Bills but at this point it is inevitable, everyone has to take their turn at some point. Its like the home game in London....eventually your number comes up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It would be kinda nice to have the Bills be on it some day. I know it isn't ideal for the team, but I'm a fan. It would be fun to get a deeper look into the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I would rather they didn’t but it’s obvious with Allen’s starpower and the Bills fanbase not to mention the occasional appearance by Hailee Steinfeld it makes the Bills prime candidates for one very soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand you have: - The Bills trying to get over the hump. Roster getting younger. Possible coach on the hot seat. - Rodgers come back season at 40 and possible run for VP. - McDaniels is a bit of a media darling across the league. Then add in a possible Tua extension. Plus Poyer moves in the division. - Then the Patriots first season without Belichick for literally an entire generation of humanity. A lot of pretty quality storylines in the AFCE even if this doesn't turn out to be a super competitive year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I hope to continue my streak of never having seen a hard knocks show, I like football for the games, not the nonsense.

Warcodered Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 From the fan side definitely don't want the distraction, from the content consumer side stick it in my veins. Do think Bills or Chiefs with how consistently they've performed are serious candidates with the rule change. Wonder if Mahomes doing "Quarterback" would make it more or less likely for them?

ToGoGo Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It’s not a terrible thing for the country to start knowing the Bills better. Casual fans have closer connections to Hard Knocks teams. It would help dispel a lot of false narratives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 This team is the definition of Hard Knocks No. I would rather McDermott focus on clock management, the front office focus on the draft, and position coaches coach up our young players to be serviceable backups with potential.

TheCockSportif Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Honestly, the Bills should've gotten this out of the way during the drought. I'd have watched a Marrone / bowling event / Hard Knocks or another Sexy Rexy Hard Knocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
