New York Giants Trending for Hard Knocks

BigBlueDownTheShore : 9/2/2015 7:04 am
Next season. Sports radio here in Atlanta were discussing it. Anyone have any info on this?
it also depends if coughlin is still coach

If a team has a new coach they are automatically taken off of list...
Having said that they want the giants for Beckham
Why would the NFL and Mara

allow a new head coach to be subjected to that chaos?

Is it really that much 'chaos'? It seems like a minor inconvenience from my seat. I'd love for the Giants to be on the show.
how do we even know

who is trending for next season already?
This also assumes the Giants

don't make the playoffs.

the conditions for exception to mandatory assignment are a first year coach (as mentioned), a playoff appearance in either of the past two seasons, or appearance on Hard Knocks in any of the past 10 years.

I think new coach is the most likely one to prevent the Giants from a mandatory assignment and a new coach probably would mean they decline optional assignment as well, unless it's a veteran coach who wants the face time, which I doubt.
The scene with OBJ and Charles Brown last night

was hilarious. Playing each other on Madden 16 - Giants v Texans.
With this season's show still in progress  
Phil in Joisey : 9/2/2015 8:54 am : link
you can rest assured that the NFL and HBO haven't even started thinking about a team for next year.

And as Odell was walking up the stairs he said laughingly: "I kicked his ass!"
Shame Perry Fewell isn't around

Viewing the DB's mass confusion during meetings would be priceless.

Oh, I'm sure there'd be an adequate substitute or two for that type of humor.
If they miss the playoffs this year  
arniefez : 9/2/2015 1:40 pm : link
and they don't change the coach. They would be one of the few teams eligible.
I think I may be the only person alive

that the Giants are close to meeting all the criteria for being the team selected. Think about it, there's not many teams to choose from.

Missed the playoffs 2 years in a row or more.

Same coach as last year.

Haven't been on the show in 10 years.

Check all 3 boxes and the NFL can force you on the show.

How many teams check all 3 boxes?
raiders, rams, bills  
oghwga : 9/2/2015 3:16 pm : link
jags, bucs, lions, vikings, redskins, ?

maybe?
I think it had something to do  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 9/2/2015 5:02 pm : link
With the Madden Showdown. And I guess people were tweeting about having BigBlue on it.
I kinda figured that  
TheShade : 9/2/2015 10:49 pm : link
The Giants allowing the NFL to follow them around for the drafting special series was a compromise so they won't be put on Hard Knocks.

I say hands down it goes to the Bills next season. Who doesn't want to see Rex Ryan in all his glory with a new team???
I'm hoping that  
Sneakers O'toole : 9/3/2015 3:16 am : link
after the season ends if the Giants still meet the criteria for a forced Hard Knocks intrusion into their camp that the Mara family has enough juice to deflect it.

As interesting as that look might be, I don't want that shitshow circus anywhere near the Giants ever. I say this acknowledging that I would love to see it for my own sake, but hell no for the team's.
I also  
Sneakers O'toole : 9/3/2015 3:20 am : link
hate the fact that any team in this league is now mandated to take that on if they meet that criteria. It's just wrong.
Lions made the playoffs last year  
arniefez : 9/3/2015 7:12 am : link
Redskins will probably change coaches and have the name issue. Jags, Bucs, maybe Bills if they don't make the playoffs. Not many choices if the Giants miss the playoffs and don't change coaches. The whole reason the league put the criteria in place is so that owners like the Mara's can't block it.
They won't be on next year  
Bramton1 : 9/3/2015 10:15 am : link
If they make the playoffs, they're exempt. If they miss the playoffs, good chance that Coughlin "retires" and with a new coach, they're exempt.
