Hell Yes: The Bills Are This Year's 'Hard Knocks' Team, No-Brainer With Josh Allen, Keon Coleman And Coming Off Last Year's AFC Championship Disaster

I know people have said Hard Knocks has lost its luster, hard to capture a lot of new stuff when they do it every single year. But this? This is an obvious choice. I have a soft spot for the Bills. They are the lovable losers because of the misery. It's not that they just lose in big games all the time, they lose in excruciating fashion. I want them to win if the Giants miss the playoffs. I want the Bills to finally get that Lombardi mostly because I thank Scott Norwood as much as possible. 

The Bills are entertaining as hell too. Josh Allen, reigning MVP, one of the faces of the league, willing to come on The Dozen. You got the star power covered. Then you have Keon Coleman, who took over social media clips his rookie season

He's going to be all over the Hard Knocks cameras. At the same time you have the James Cook contract drama: 

I know we'll get the same stories in terms of undrafted rookies trying to make the team, journey guys and what not. But it's the fact we have a team coming off a brutal AFC Championship loss, trying to keep this core group together and finally make a Super Bowl. Now that the playoff rule is done for Hard Knock teams we actually have a team with high expectations again on it. At the same time it was announced the Giants (and the NFC East) will be the in-season group:

For the love of God keep John Mara away from the cameras during this. I can't take seeing his face on Hard Knocks or anywhere else again. Back to the Bills though, gotta have Sean McDermott's speeches unedited 

I'll also give this to Hard Knocks, the moment you hear that music, you know it's football season. We just got through a Monday with nothing on, it sucks. It sucks when golf tournaments are done, no playoffs are going on and you're stuck watching bad May baseball. Hard Knocks gives us hope for the sports calendar.
