Ugh!

We're cursed.

No team has ever won the Superbowl the season they were on hard knocks. 

 

If I don't watch it, then it isn't happening.

 

 

To be fair, we haven't won the Super Bowl by not being featured on Hard Knocks.

Well, I guess I gotta watch this show now...

 

[RobbRiddick]

Beane should just walk around the whole time shouting "quit bitching" no matter what he's asked

[nedboy7]

Can I watch on YouTubeTV?

I sure hope you watch the episode where they talk all about the tush push and then  practice it 30 times.

I'll take, "Distractions this team doesn't need" for $1,000.

 

*sigh*

You got the daily double! How much will you wager?!?!?

[Dillenger4]

I hear episode #3 is the one where Josh, Bosa and Shakir crank call Shedeur. Just for fun...

"Hi. Is this Shedeur?!? Ummmm... is your fridge running"???

[wppete]

This should be exciting.

The last few Hard Knocks have been singularly dull compared to the early years so I don't think the distraction is the same as it was in the years when this was novel. Teams are much more used to this kind of behind the scenes filming than they were.

 

I'm excited for it personally.

I thought Hard Knocks was only for sucky teams...?

I am just about to cancel max but I will be back in a few months.

Hard Knocks has been on for well over 20 years.  By this point the novelty of it has long since passed.  The script is pretty much the same every year now.  

 

McDermott is definitely not an overly glib entertaining type of character.  But just watching the guys practice and go at it with each other, offense versus defense is always interesting.  And the coaches meetings to discuss roster cuts is always pretty fascinating.  As for human interest stories about the specific players, thats usually pretty bland in today's era. 

 

Antonio Brown with the Raiders was pretty entertaining.  But the Bills are not built to be a freak show.

Yeah, the embedded stuff the Bills produce so well isn't that far off Hard Knocks really. I enjoy the embedded stuff

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

The Bills seem like a mature team. I think they'll handle this well

Oh boy.

 

What will the "hook" be, the struggling WRs room?  Will James Cook be resigned?

 

Well at least it will be entertaining.

Dion Dawkins is about to become a household name. 

Mack Hollins is kicking himself 😎

[RobbRiddick]

It will basically be the Josh show with some Keon and Dion thrown in

[JohnBonhamRocks]

If anything, this and the Hallmark movie, especially in the wake of JA17 being MVP and with the culture built at OBD, figure to grow the national fanbase.

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

Sleepy Beane took a nap and his minions signed him up for Hard Knocks

[BillsFanForever19]

Dodged it for as long as we could. I know there's supposedly "rules" in place where you can turn it down. But I feel like that may have been quietly changed bc last year they started doing multiple Hard Knocks. Even in the Playoffs with the Ravens. 

 

Even if there's technically rules, that doesn't mean if HBO doesn't really want the Bills - Goodell wouldn't put pressure on us to not upset Warner. 

 

Or maybe they saw the thing with the Ravens in the Playoffs and went "better Training Camp than the Playoffs".
