With new rules in place. Do you want the Bills to be on Hard Knocks this summer?

[Brand J]

I love the Beyond the Blue and Red specials on YouTube. If the Bills were featured on Hard Knocks I’d be lying if I said I’d be against it. I’d watch every minute.

Unless it translates to an NFL championship...No.

 

Hard Knocks has been airing since 2001.

Not a single team has made it to the SB when the were featured on HK.

The closest was the 2010 Jets. They made it to the AFC CG where they lost to the Steelers.

 

This belief "we get to see what goes on behind the scenes" etc,,, is all BS.

HK is like every other reality TV show.

Media manipulated to drive "drama".

If somebody needs that kind of fake drama, go watch Wrestling.

 

I am a Hard No on Hard Knocks.

Id love to see the inner workings of the team but at same time it seems like Hard Knocks brings in necessary drama to teams involved which I wouldn't wish in my team.

With new rules it should be renamed "Friendly Taps" or "Just get flags".

In Hard Knocks defense, the Bills haven’t had it since its inception and they don’t have an NFL championship either.

we should do it this year as we are in a mini-reset mode anyway and could use it as leverage to get other players to come over

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.

 

 

NO!

Probably because most of the teams featured didn't make it to the playoffs the previous two seasons so not making it to a Super Bowl isn't surprising.  Also, with that kind of logic we never made the Super Bowl because we weren't featured on Hard Knocks.
