Hard Knocks Open Thread
August 8th, 2017
Watch the HBO show at 10 p.m. and chat about all the Hard Knocks fun and intrigue right here in the JoeBucsFan.com comments section with friends, enemies and anonymous Bucs fans.
What could be better? A lot of things. But still dive in and keep it clean. Go Bucs!

Young Jeezy
Lol I’m on one. Let’s go BUCS
August 8th, 2017 at 6:41 pm
If that is the streaming-only service, not until 7 a.m. Wednesday.
August 8th, 2017 at 6:43 pm
I don’t know about hbo now but hbo go it’ll be on within a minute of the initial air time
August 8th, 2017 at 6:52 pm
I’m read. It’s been to long. I need some football. #Stickcarrier
August 8th, 2017 at 6:57 pm
72 hours until kickoff. I just can’t believe it.
August 8th, 2017 at 6:59 pm
Dirks granpappy…what’s the difference between the two? I got HBO Now trial period for 30 days..
August 8th, 2017 at 7:01 pm
Amazon Customer Service confirmed for me just now it will show up under the Amazon Video, HBO Channel, HBO Sports section tonight at 10.
August 8th, 2017 at 7:04 pm
weird that hbo go doesn’t just put it up as soon as it airs like they do with other shows. I will have to avoid the comment sections and possibly bucs news sites and even football sites in general until I watch this tomorrow after work lol mother of god
August 8th, 2017 at 7:06 pm
Lord…I feel your pain…lol…
August 8th, 2017 at 7:13 pm
I ordered HBO on my DirecTv today. I’ll cancel it after Hard Knocks is over and it’ll cost me $10. Don’t tell them but I would have paid more! T-Bones and baked potatoes on the grill, horesradish and bacon dip for the show. We’re ready!!
August 8th, 2017 at 7:16 pm
I think everyone saying that Jameis or Kwon are going to emerge as the stars of the show are going to be a little disappointed. That’s not really what Hard Knocks has ever been. They tend to focus on the bubble guys to create drama.
I’m hoping we get some Javien Elliot and his back story. As an FSU fan who followed this guy, his story is remarkable and I think he’d make for great TV
August 8th, 2017 at 7:52 pm
Just saw an interesting stat. Winston ranks 1st in QBR on throws OUTSIDE the pocket since 2015. He’s 2nd in Tds OUTSIDE the pocket and 5th in yards per attempt since 2015 (Rookie year)
August 8th, 2017 at 7:56 pm
Most of us don’t have hbo so…….guess we’ll be watching something else.
August 8th, 2017 at 8:08 pm
Man they are really playing up how poor Jameis was.
It may be true but man they don’t need to put all that out there.
I know James gave it to them, but they kinda made him look bad.
August 8th, 2017 at 8:11 pm
Very psyched to see our Bucs on Hard Knocks! Just listed to “Rise” by Skillet and I’m pumped! That could be the stick carrier anthem!
August 8th, 2017 at 8:18 pm
What Web site sells the stick tee shirts
August 8th, 2017 at 8:36 pm
Bucs
August 8th, 2017 at 8:36 pm
Mike goat
That’s cuz the oline can’t block and Jameis is a man beast. Lord please let suh pull a hammy before week 1 please lort pls.
August 8th, 2017 at 8:47 pm
Scotty..
If you’re on Twitter…find Samer Ali..
August 8th, 2017 at 8:47 pm
Interesting tid-bit of information there GOAT.
August 8th, 2017 at 8:50 pm
55 after watching cutlers presser yesterday do really think suh is geeked up about playing football this season. I mean cutler all but stated “I’m doing this because my wife made me”. suh please.
August 8th, 2017 at 8:51 pm
Ain’t nobody in no hurry to play a season with no QB man.
August 8th, 2017 at 9:12 pm
10-4
August 8th, 2017 at 9:25 pm
Jameis is the best player in the league. He has a effect on wins.
August 8th, 2017 at 9:34 pm
Happy to have a franchise qbs so we don’t have to sign Cutlers and kaps of the world. God bless Winston.
August 8th, 2017 at 9:43 pm
AMEN!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:01 pm
It’s on!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:02 pm
Finally!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:02 pm
Love the “rocket” analogy.
August 8th, 2017 at 10:04 pm
Look at that opening!!!! sick!!!!!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:04 pm
Wait! JW got Trump spray painted on his wall? He’ll nah?!?!?
August 8th, 2017 at 10:05 pm
Stoked for this!
Won’t be staying in thread cuz I’m not watching it until later tonight.
Go Bucs!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:05 pm
Sucks I got the HBO Now but have to wait until tomorrow
August 8th, 2017 at 10:06 pm
Ya don’t know about the slums. RECOGNIZE
August 8th, 2017 at 10:06 pm
TMI RE: the peeing off the porch Jameis – LOL
August 8th, 2017 at 10:09 pm
Cockroaches mating, the pee corner and GMC in a different light, lucky to have GMC in the community as a positve role model and player
August 8th, 2017 at 10:09 pm
I’m f@$!in mad😠.. I can’t watch live, gotta record it.
August 8th, 2017 at 10:11 pm
“This is a team ready for launch”
August 8th, 2017 at 10:12 pm
When you come from the bottom, the gutters, and succeed there’s nothing that can stop you. Watch DJax and Kwon be similar. Maybe even Noah, nah def Noah.
August 8th, 2017 at 10:15 pm
They gonna trade me lol
August 8th, 2017 at 10:20 pm
I cant wait til the first preseason game. Hard Knocks got me excited for the season.
August 8th, 2017 at 10:26 pm
Ooooh! I know you heard that!
Oh they gonna trade me! – gmc
August 8th, 2017 at 10:29 pm
A new man in town
August 8th, 2017 at 10:30 pm
Got chills watching that Djax catch in the rain and the responses….man i hope he stays healthy!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:41 pm
SNOOP gonna be a bucs fan
August 8th, 2017 at 10:43 pm
I hope Snoop doesnt influence Jeremy on his medicine practices lol
August 8th, 2017 at 10:44 pm
“Doug dont want to be there too much longer” – Snoop lol
August 8th, 2017 at 10:47 pm
Amazon gave me bad information – it will not be posted until tomorrow morning.
August 8th, 2017 at 10:48 pm
Sigh
August 8th, 2017 at 10:48 pm
“ain’t no mountain high enough” yeah Godwin
August 8th, 2017 at 10:58 pm
Man – that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like Rhealist with all these exclaimation points but I can’t stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 8th, 2017 at 10:59 pm
Mcweapon come on man. This guy looks like camp meat.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:00 pm
No stick carriers!?!?!
August 8th, 2017 at 11:00 pm
Snoop was rollin one on while on the phone
August 8th, 2017 at 11:01 pm
Mcweapon can’t block. 🙁
August 8th, 2017 at 11:01 pm
Jameis and McCoy Rock.
So lucky to have them leading us to the Playoffs!!
August 8th, 2017 at 11:01 pm
it was ok I guess… no training camp takeover scenes.. wow
August 8th, 2017 at 11:01 pm
Love Jamies preys before each day! Jamies will rise! Love this kid, I’m in North Carolina and debating flying to Tampa just to catch him live just once! Love this kid! I’m about to lift now he got me so pumped!
August 8th, 2017 at 11:02 pm
I hope Riley Bullough has the talent to make the team. That guy has some intensity.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:02 pm
Jameis is perfect leader for this team and town, that OL better protect him
August 8th, 2017 at 11:03 pm
Stick Carriers better be on the next episode
August 8th, 2017 at 11:05 pm
I’m thinking they can use the footage of stick carriers in the future they could be setting it up really nicely
August 8th, 2017 at 11:05 pm
The majority of this footage is before “The Takeover”
August 8th, 2017 at 11:13 pm
That was hype, our boys are mad funny, such good chemistry.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:16 pm
I thought it was excellent. Good back stories and camera work. I think Dirk is not happy hearing the language and the last few minutes where Jameis was off bad. Koetter getting on him. Things aren’t always peachy, but it was pretty darn real. First time I’ve seen Hard Knocks because this is the only team I care about. Well Done.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:22 pm
Very well done. I wish episode 2 was on tomorrow. Don’t worry fellow stick carriers, we will get some love next week
August 8th, 2017 at 11:23 pm
That ending gave me goosebumps!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!! Didn’t sit down once!!!! AMAZING STUFF
August 8th, 2017 at 11:24 pm
I could watch a whole episode of the Bucs talking Game of Thrones.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:25 pm
^^^^^ Well said BigMac!
August 8th, 2017 at 11:29 pm
Hoping Mcnicols isn’t actually taking Snoop Dogg advice. GMC kids are so freakin cute.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:32 pm
Love the speech Jameis wakes up to everyday! It’s something I push to my team all the time. I am fully confident he will be great as he is already well on his way!! Go Bucs!!
August 8th, 2017 at 11:43 pm

August 8th, 2017 at 11:46 pm
Never seen Hard Knocks before so I have no frame of reference on if this was good or bad compared to other seasons – but I can say I enjoyed it way more than I was expecting, way more.
August 8th, 2017 at 11:56 pm
I’ve watched all teams, all season of HK..it’s on YouTube..
My take: Amazing insight on the tem chemistry during the singing segment. Riley Burroughs is a very passionate player..I can see being the next Kwon..maybe not with the Bucs, we are stacked at the position..but maybe he will get his turn..
Loved GMAC carrying the players pads and helmets..that was amazing to see..the rookies were taken aback..
Heartbreaking: Koetter letting go of Alex Gray and another rookie..I hate to see it cause as a mum to guys this age..I know it’s soul crushing..
August 9th, 2017 at 12:10 am
If that didn’t get you pumped for the season there’s something wrong. Is DJ super fast or what? Gonna be a heck of a season.
August 9th, 2017 at 12:24 am
Uncle Snoop
August 9th, 2017 at 12:24 am
Training Camo Takeover scenes will air next week kats, believe that!! There’s too much material filmed prior to this week for the first episode to include it all.
Next week we’ll get Gruden and Stick Carriers and Preseason game 1!!! Here we go!
August 9th, 2017 at 12:25 am
Training *Camp Takeover
August 9th, 2017 at 12:40 am
Jay..was that you watching HK from your computer where a guy name burrito was on??
August 9th, 2017 at 1:04 am
Anyone know a website or any way I can watch Hard Knocks???
August 9th, 2017 at 1:08 am
Gabe..get a month of free HULU with HBO Now..it’ll be there 7 a.m. on..but I did watch it in some sordid website..it’s on now…but I can’t link it here..
August 9th, 2017 at 4:58 am
I’m guessing Stick Carriers will be featured on episode 2… leading up to showing our 1st preseason game this Friday!
It got me jacked up for football, though I could personally do without the 20 min of filler.
August 9th, 2017 at 8:43 am
I rarely, if ever, watch TV. Mom CB had dish installed for a little connection to the states, but that’s it.
I ordered HBO just for Hard Knocks.
And I am not at all disappointed. Never saw it before.
But this premier segment was very well done, great content, editing and video.
It;s great to get a look at this team, possibly the most interesting ever, even more interesting than the 2002 Bucs going into the SB season.
Of course, this is just the teaser, the setting of the table. I suspect getting to PS games will jack the show up a notch.
Kudos to HBO. Well done!
August 9th, 2017 at 8:54 am
On another note, I really liked the focus on Riley Bulloch! I wish that guy the best, and hope he’s a ST Demon.
August 9th, 2017 at 9:19 am
Just order HBO already. Watch/stream Game of Thrones and Hard Knocks. Then drop it in a couple months if you have to…
August 9th, 2017 at 11:07 am
I loved the show….can’t wait till the next episode! Anyone know the name of the motivational speaker Jameis was listening to?
GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!
