Hard Knocks

He was only on screen for about 5 seconds but Jeff Fisher was already sending me to sleep.

This is my first year having GamePass at this stage - is Hard Knocks usually up there pretty soon after it's aired on HBO?

RazorMcBlade · 11-08-2016 02:09AM

I don't think it goes up until it airs on Sky Sports here. I could be wrong, but I haven't been able to get it either.

That's what I thought as well.

Last year I'm sure it was on the NFL Network on Gamepass the morning after HBO showed it. Dont' think it is this year, so really hoping it goes onto the Archives on Gamepass.a

When is it set to air on Sky Sports does anyone know? I can't find info on it anywhere?

RazorMcBlade · 12-08-2016 01:37PM

Just read that Hard Knocks goes up on Game Pass on Friday's. So it will always be Friday's for the 5 episodes.

First episode was a little disappointing I thought.

I think that's because Jeff Fisher is so dang boring, we had such a dynamic coach to watch last year, that Fisher just doesn't live up to previous seasons. I am just looking forward to seeing the progression of Goff.

Yah interesting to see Goff...

We were spoiled with O'Brien last year...

I had to laugh when Fisher said no team of his was going to have a 7-9, an 8-8 or a 9-7 season with a straight face

Guffy · 14-08-2016 12:56PM

Ah tbf the format is just tired now. Its what? Season 11,12. It's just new actors telling the same story 11 or 12 times. In saying that i haven't seen this series ye

Well there was some comedy in episode one with Jeff Fisher saying they won't be going 7-9 or 8-8. That made me laugh!

Second this. Had a look through the listings and couldn't see it anywhere in the next week.

BKWDR · 15-08-2016 01:31PM

I think they should bed in with a playoff bound team towards the end of the season and run it over 4 weeks of that but with a decent delay or a run of a playoff bound team.

I think its tiward the end of August, not before week 3 anyway

Leslie91 · 15-08-2016 04:17PM

OK so the sun rising thing was a bit of a lark but....... even still........ Goff did not come out of it looking all that bright.

Fisher is some tool though jeez.

U can he has been around ages though, he made the cutting of Foles and the horny rookie WR look like a piece of cake.

I'm always a bit skeptical when they show stuff like this on Hard Knocks or indeed any other reality sports show type thing.

They made it look like it was just the next day but there's a good chance that he was getting cut anyway and they just used this to make it look like Fisher was a bad ass coach etc.

Stroking his ego.

Not a chance he'd be cutting Todd Gurley if he did the same thing.

the one thing I took from it was how easily the WR took the release. For a rule break like that, you might expect a fine or something, but to be released seems majorly harsh. And if it was me, I wouldnt just sit there meekly saying "ok coach, thanks". I'd fight for my job. This is probably his only chance of making a roster so I wouldnt just give up just because my missus came into my room before curfew.

Ya i thought that too but in all the series and what you see but in fairness in such a small world of NFL teams they never know who they will end up playing for and they really don't want to dirty their bib at all

jack presley · 20-08-2016 05:38PM

It's a bit disappointing this year I think. I don't know whether I'm just bored of the same stuff every year but there doesn't seem to be any real characters to like this year. The robot tackle dummy is probably the most exciting thing in it so far which says something.

Maybe when the cuts start coming, it'll liven up a bit.

Magico Gonzalez · 20-08-2016 08:04PM

Fisher "I know what I am doing" - You don't.

..."I am not settling for 10 - 6" - You wish.

Gurley is some eejit too.

This actually started on Sky Sports last Friday, Episode 1 is available On Demand and Episode 2 is airing this Friday.

Trojan · 23-08-2016 11:06AM

Episode 1 is free to stream from the Rams site.

I love Kush with the tank tops.

The main takeaway from me is what a spoofer Fisher is. He cut that 10th choice wide receiver for having a young one in the room. Clearly that dude was getting cut anyway. He just used it as a segue into this 7-9 bullsh1t monologue. There is absolutely no way he would have cut a guy with a shot at the roster in those circumstances. And then when two first teamers crashed the buggy, after Fisher warned the players to go easy on them? A verbal reprimand is all they get. I would find it difficult to have respect for a guy like that if I worked for him.

The buggy bandits were practically laughing in his face. If the Rams do anything it will be in spite of him and not because of him.
