Those guys have won AFC East 5 years in a row. Regardless, I will watch just because it is an AFC East Rival but would have chosen to see a team with more drama.
0% chance I'm watching that. Eww, sorry I love the sport but can't stomach watching a Bills ass kissing session.
Bingo. There’s a very very clear motive for the league to push Josh Allen in every way. Can’t blame them, but I find him to be unbelievably boring unless he’s playing football and when he’s doing that I’m rooting against him. I’ll watch just because I’m a documentary director by day and I work with the Hard Knocks crew but it’s going to be a painful watch.
For sure. The Pats and Dolphins aren’t near contending so I’d much rather see either of them win a one off game against the Bills who are a contender. we also haven’t been relevant in the AFC East discussion for a decade and a half so I don’t find myself caring too much about who wins what. But it’s always nice to see the guys who are being shoved down our throats fail.
It's strange that it's the Jets who have given the Bills the most trouble in the division recently at least when they play at the Meadowlands. Beat them twice with Zach Wilson. In last year's 23-20 Bills win the Jets missed two FG's and an extra point.
I'm sick of that team. 2 AFC Championship game losses has been their peak, yet the media hypes them up like they are Gods. Mark Sanchez accomplished the same
It’s weird, but as much as I love football, I never really get into the hard knocks shows…just doesn’t really interest me that much…even when the Jets were on it, I never really watched it. No idea why.
Maybe because it was cool 10+ years ago when it felt raw and now it’s just a Hollywood production? I fell off with it too and used to love it. Players seem a lot less real than they used to and are just doing/saying things for the camera.
This is normal. I watch because I like reality shows. Hard Knocks is not a pure football show. It is football flavored half scripted half unscripted reality show nowadays.

This is a big part of why it's not the same, I think. I'd rather watch raw footage of what goes on, or footage that has been edited only to the point of protecting information that the team doesn't want out there, rather than watching the glamorized version of training camp that the show now seems to put forward. I remember years ago seeing footage of this type from one of the documentaries they did on Bill Parcells' tenure in Dallas. It was just a lot of footage of Parcells at training camp, I think in his first season, and it was incredibly fascinating as well as entertaining. I'd much rather watch something like that than what Hard Knocks has turned into.
I would expect Hard Knocks to reflect a lot on the 30 For 30: Four Falls of Buffalo theme. That's probably not a good thing for the rest of the league.
