People also like to point out how teams haven’t had much success in hard knocks seasons. But they fail to mention that under the old rules you had to be a non-playoff team to appear. And frequently the teams being forced to appear had a recent top 3 pick added to their team. These were not strong teams to begin with. 

Usually.  There are some years where teams were coming off good seasons.  I think the ravens were on as the first team after winning the Super Bowl in 01.

 

Dallas was on in 08 after going 13-3 and having like 9 all pros in 07.

 

generally it has been bad teams though.

The one good sign is the team seems to lack “that guy” who is going to ***** over being on TV and just embarrass themselves, the team and the fan base.

Get real.  It's going to be the #1 storyline at the beginning of the show.   Of course it should be talked about.   That's how these things work.

 

No its not how these things work on Hard Knocks.  You clearly don't watch the show or pay attention if you do.

The Bills are normally a very low drama organization(outside of 2022 which was a drama sh!it storm).

 

So Brandon Beane going on the offensive with local media and then going on a tour to yuck it up with out-of-town media about it while patting himself on the back about how great a job he's done with the WR corps is good drama to build on.   Not a lot of GM's put their neck out like that.   

 

This will likely not be covered or just be a blurb in the show, they don't go back and review the past, the show is about training camp.

And then they open up with the Ravens,  who literally exposed the Bills WR corps last fall and sent Beane scrambling to trade for Amari Cooper a month ahead of the deadline.   The Ravens then later held Allen to a pathetic 127 yards passing in a home playoff game where they physically outplayed the Bills but lost because of a comedy of errors on their part..........I mean, the WR drama could come to a head right away.  

 

LMAO...now I really know you don't watch the show.

The potential entertainment value beginning this season story with Hard Knocks is enormous.   By the end of that 1st game Beane could look like a genius or already be getting panned nationally if they struggle to throw the ball against Baltimore for a 3rd straight time.

 

Again...you don't seem to grasp the concept of what Hard Knocks is.

Everything about this season is setting up to be incredibly entertaining.   Love them getting Hard Knocks this year,  they have a seasoned leadership group and coaching staff and areready for it, IMO.   And so glad they didn't know they were going to be on it until Beane added some spice to it with his "I signed Joshua Palmer" swagger.😂

 

This is going to be great.

 

 

Does seem to be youre rooting for failure though...so theres that.

Right, because the "Non-Distraction" route has yielded how many Superbowls for us?  Like it matters.

 

I have yet to win a marathon.  So, doing what I've been doing hasn't yielded anything yet.  Why not try breaking my leg first? 😆

So if a month of HBO following the Bills around in the preseason is equivalent to "breaking their legs"..........how did Mahomes survive being followed around by Netflix for an entire season and win the Super Bowl that year?  

 

It's irrational to have such anxiety over Hard Knocks for a team with a 9th year HC and GM and 8th year QB.    They are the definition of a team that should be ready for this and yet still interesting enough to be worthwhile for average NFL fans to watch.

I repeat, you are claiming the questions about the Bills WR corps "will likely not be covered" on Hard Knocks.

 

Mmmkay.  

 

I suspect you will be backpedaling on that the same way you did when you started that thread last spring to tell us how nobody but you understood how great Khalil Shakir was going to be in 2024 and then walked it back in the fine print so that 900 yards would meet the criteria.   😂

Maybe I’m in the minority but I love being ‘under the radar’

 

I LOVED national pundits counting us out last offseason 

I HATED being hyped at the beginning of the 2022 season and I HATE the hype and attention we are getting now 

 

I feel it’s bad ju ju and I hope I’m dead wrong

The fact of the matter is that once it comes postseason, no one is under the radar.

 

The Bills are going to have lofty expectations every season because they are a great team with a great QB. Even last year, when there was expectation that we would be worse, by the time the second or third playoff games rolls around, that’s out the window.

Never back pedaled on anything I have ever said about Shakir since the day he was drafted.

 

But it still makes my nipples dance having so much free rent your head and watching you obsess over me...never change boo 😘

I don't know if you are actually in the minority or not........but I think it shows that you probably just care too much about the outside perception of the team when there really is no rational reason to.    But irrational things like worrying about outside perception of the team or whether officiating is unfairly biased against your team bonds fans to the product.   It's an advanced suspension of disbelief.
