HBO's 'NFL Hard Knocks' is no longer voluntary

LOL @ Mike Tomlin walking into a team meetings still wearing his barber's customer cape.

it'd definitely be cool to see the steelers

i think the eagles, no matter how this season turns out, would be cool.. the niners/seahawks seem to be the in the spotlight nfl teams right now..

detroit seems like it'd have mad interesting characters..

raiders or panthers.. because i like pryor and cam.. and it'd be interesting to see how both are in front of their team. steve smith seems like a good kinda crazy to watch too.

Yeah, ok. It's all fun and games until we get a full season of the Jaguars

it'd still be cool seeing clowney/bridgewater/whoever adapting to nfl starter life.

i have faith in the hard knocks crew to make any team interesting for 4-5 episodes.

I don't see how taping the show would necessarily affect practice and I'll argue with anyone who supposes otherwise.

hard knocks causing distraction and being harmful to the team is bullshyt.

I'd love to see the Raiders on Hard Knocks....

this show just isn't interesting no more. This season is Don't give a fukk about none of the players. Even when my team was on there, I didn't care. Most of the players they follow are cornball ass uninteresting dudes. Michael Irvin's 4th & Long was 10x better than this bullshyt.

The concept is still interesting but ever since the CBA, training camp has become less grueling so covering it has become less interesting.

HBO is also cutting A LOT of stuff out and following the same players every episode. This isnt even going into the fact that the Falcons are a boring ass team to begin with.

They spent a good 10 minutes following the white chick that use to be on that house wives show even though the nikkas she married to isn't a star player. They shot footage like people would tune in just to see that bytch. And yeah, the falcons are boring and corny as fukk. The first few season felt real but now it just seems scripted. Like the players know the camera's are there so they watch and script what they say.

Boss beli would make it an hour of absolute boring shyt, and probably not one football would be shown. Patriots ain't about that!

Best way to put it, doesnt even feel authentic anymore. The cameras are much more invasive this year and a lot of the younger players are 90s babies with different mentalities from football players from even 5-10 years ago. It lacks the gladiator esque feel that it used to have

You ain't lying. I watched it in passing with my wife who kept wondering "who is this geek they keep following?" For the Falcons.

Outside of Brian Cox, the show is boring as hell

 

[phillycavsfan]

Hard Knocks has been hot garbage this season tho. It was inevitable that a team would button up when the cameras came around.

 

[The_Sheff]

Yeah even as a Falcons fan i gotta admit this season isnt as good as past seasons but i look at it like this, Hard Knocks is better than more baseball.

 

[duckbutta]

This season so far has been trash...
Harry Douglass out here acting like he straight up scared to fukk his wife...
Matt Ryan being nothing more than a "Let's get them guys ra ra ra" quarterback...

Jackson gave this big speech about the running backs sticking together and promptly hurt his hamstring 5 minutes later...
Roddy White a cool cat but breh...your braids are starting to start at where they should end at...do like Julio and let that shyt go
