Bullshit

 

The producers of a hbo show under a hard deadline working with a 5ish day window isn't editing under the premise of making the carolina panthers look bad.  That's just moronic to even insinuate 

I would argue that they absolutely edit to make the Jets look good. The panthers looking bad is just a byproduct. 

Full disclosure, I didn't watch the game or this episode of hard knocks. Also, from the highlights (if you can call them that) of the game I saw, we didn't need much help looking bad Saturday.

You have the Jets winning the AFC?

 

I seen this before. The media darlings never work out. This is not a Tom Brady situation. Aaron Rodgers gets put on that level but he's just not that great when the games really matter. Rodgers haven't been to a SB in over a decade. Now that he gets a new team in the largest media market we are supposed to crown them the favorites?

 

I seen this before and it usually ends with said team failing expectations. Im not picking the Jets over the Bengals or Chiefs. That's just my opinion. You like them to win the AFC then so be it.

I wouldn't make the favorites over those 2 either, BUT they are certainly in the running. If they did make it to the SB, I wouldn't be surprised.

I feel like Buffalo isn’t evolving or improving much and NYJ and MIA have been adding a ton and already have quickly upcoming pieces.

Doesn't it feel downright wrong to be talking about the AFC East and be completely disregarding the pats?? they completely dominated that pansy-ass conference for so long.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?  It's not about "making the panthers look bad", it's about making the Jets look good.  No one is arguing that HBO has a personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers...we just happened to be the Jets' opponent, so them looking good and us looking bad kinda go hand in hand.  If they were playing against *insert NFL team here*, it'd likely be a similar outcome.

You hit people for a living, act like it. Too many choir boys not enough tough guys. The panthers have no dawg in them.

This is what I’m talking about. Like if you sucked, get mad, throw something. Get mad at yourself, get mad at a coach, teammate, idc. Show me you’re willing to fight through this crap. Not nonchalantly say “we have to do better” without any change.

Im willing to bet they edit to get you to watch the next episodes.  HBO doesnt give a damn if the Jets are SB Champs or a rolling dumpster fire, they only care about creating tension and drama that gets you to tune in next week.
