An announcement will be made during halftime of Thursday night’s Giants-WFT game that will involve the future of the Hard Knocks' series, per a league official.

So canceled or not?

Never got into. I guess I would if the Giants were ever on it, but that hasn't happened.

That said, I did learn what Jameis Winston considers 'The Dirty South'.
Watched the Raiders and the Rams and Cowboys

In todays game I would never go with a defensive coach. Really liked Sean McVay. If the front office has gotten anything right in the last 10 years it was not bringing in McCarthy. What an uninspiring blob.
Hopefully announcing a final season

We’ll we didn’t fail to make the playoffs yet

So we can’t be on it… as of now.
My guess

Each week Hard Knocks will focus on one match up and follow both teams for the week leading up to the game. Every team is on once a season.

and candidly, I think the novelty of it all has run its course. Plus, my guess is that teams are averse to it in the first place.

The NFL is exceptional at over saturation, and hard knocks is just that. HBO is know for putting out quality docs and their production value is usually great but any of us here can make hard knocks, it really isn’t a compelling show given what fans have access to without the show.

My prediction: 17 weeks of Hard Knocks. They expand into the regular season and every team is on it at least once, using behind the scenes footage from the teams and not just NFL Films.
It was my guess that the production

the Giants put out over the last 2 training camps, which were sort of like mini versions of NYG hard knocks, we’re olive branches from NYG to the league and the fans basically saying “sorry we don’t want to ever be on Hard Knocks but here’s some content” and honestly I thought they were really well done. I enjoyed those.

They were Hard Knocks without the manufactured drama and corny music. Just actual behind the scenes footage of different aspects of NYG training camp.
I love Hard Knocks

Pretty much a fan of anything NFL Films throws out there. I think it’s crazy if there’s any truth to the notion that the Giants don’t want to be on the show.
No way

they are making a halftime announcement to say its cancelled. Some kind of expansion I'm guessing
Hard Knocks: Rivals?  
jamison884 : 9/14/2021 9:52 pm : link
Throwing it out there in case it's right. Expanding training camp to two teams, division rivals, with a joint camp-expansion to build division drama.

First season: two teams who hate each other in the worst division, where they need more fans to attend. WFT & NYG.

Also perhaps throw in a 9/11 spin for S1: because NFL.

Course the Giants don’t want it. Then we can see how dysfunctional this organization is.

We’ll see Garrett in his office practicing his clapping.
Doubt that they'd schedule

Never understood why Giants fans don’t want them to be on hard knocks. I think it gives a window on how things are run.
Maybe do it like 24/7  
nygiants16 : 9/14/2021 10:49 pm : link
do it for big games, week leading up..
It's like everything else.

Inside access focuses at first on the subject at hand. There was some really good insight into the meeting rooms and how coaches and coordinators motivate and lead.

Then the production types step in when they sense things might be getting stale and we get "Real Housewives" and "Big Brother" with some practice field reps in between.

If you fast forwarded from one actual football segment to the other in the last few seasons there was what felt like 6m of show to watch.
