Nephew thinks Saints are prime for "Hard Knocks" (1 Viewer)

With major signings in Carr and Williams, Payton been gone, and losing 2 years in a row, he believes this is the year for Hard Knocks. Also New Orleans setting makes for great TV.
I am a becoming a believer.

We are one of only a small handful of teams eligible to be forced to this year too I believe.

Bears, Saints, Jets, Commanders

It's gotta be the Jets I think assuming they get aaron

 

[BelowZero]

Hope not. It's nothing more than a distraction.

 

[neworleanshoo]

I'm here for it. I'm sure it'll only make us like Derek more. The guy says all the right things.

Has any team done hard knocks and been good that same season?

 

[CantguardTaysom]

Nevermind I see that some teams have had good seasons after participating in Hard Knocks. The Cowboys went 12-5 in 2021.

Not sure how far you went back on the featured teams but I did a post on this awhile back.

• 2001 Ravens (10-6, won Wild Card, lost Divisional)
• 2009 Bengals (10-6, lost Wild Card)
• 2010 Jets (11-5, won Wild Card and Divisional, lost AFC Championship)
• 2013 Bengals (11-5, lost Wild Card)
• 2015 Texans (9-7, lost Wild Card)
• 2020 Rams (10-6, won Wild Card, lost Divisional)
• 2021 Cowboys (12-5, lost Wild Card)

Keep it far away. Leave it for the perennial loser teams.

I don’t see any super bowls, so maybe the Saints can be the first.

I wouldn’t mind the opportunity to see a different side of Dennis Allen. Maybe it could help change the public perception and help him loosen up.

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Please god no

 

[Saint Spud]

I’d be stunned if it’s not the Jets

 

[0rion]

As some one who went through the 80's and 90's living up north and NEVER seeing anything about the saints on tv or in the newspaper I welcome any opportunity to see saints stuff.

I see no scenario where Lord Rodgers doesn't get picked above us though

 

[Saint Greg]

It will 100% be the jets with Aaron Rodgers the way everyone is drooling over them. And that’s fine with me.
