While I would love being on Hard Knocks, we are exempt this year and I definitely don’t want to be bad enough to be considered next year lol.

it was tough watching the Amazon Prime season of ALL OR NOTHING, feature the Cam vs Pittsburgh game. Ugh.    (up to then, the show is terrific)

I don't think we can be.

They have some rules, and if I recall correctly we would fit one of them to be excluded.

Don't remember which, but I've seen lists of eligible teams and we never seem to be on them.

There are 3 ways to be exempt from being forced to do Hard Knocks (any team can volunteer):

New Head Coach - this gives a team a 1 year exemption

Make the Playoffs - this gives a team a 2 year exemption

Appear on Hard Knocks - this gives a team a 10 year exemption

The 4 teams who qualify to be forced to do it this year are the Jets, Bears, Commanders and Saints.  I think its a slam dunk to be the Jets.

I don't care what the schedule is as long as they don't make the Tennessee game out of the country.  My wife and I are planning a vacation to Nashville around that away game.

I doubt they'll force us to go to Europe this season, knowing we're doing Germany next year.

Week 1 - we’re definitely playing the Colts, right?

I think Texans would be more likely and make the Top 2 picks who will both be QB's and likely starters play each other week 1.

They did it with Jameis and Mariota

Plus they've done two straight years of our opening game being a QB reasoned matchup against an AFC team (Darnold vs Jets and Baker vs Browns), so might as well make it 3 for 3.

That’s seems a reasonable possibility too. 
 

I just know they always match up teams Week 1 to maximize off season beef drama. I can’t think of anything better than Reich facing the team that fired him in the first game.

    • "It’s a tricky spot for Cincinnati to be in—finding a team to give up a premium pick and $30 million (or more) per year for a 31-year-old pass rusher isn’t easy," Breer wrote. "Hendrickson’s camp at one point told the Bengals they could bring home a first-rounder for him, but that hasn’t happened." After Cleveland Browns edge-rusher Myles Garrett signed a four-year, $160 million extension—with an NFL-record $123 million in guaranteed money for a non-quarterback—Cincinnati's negotiations will only get more difficult. Despite posting back-to-back 17.5-sack campaigns, one of the biggest hurdles for Hendrickson will be his age, as he’s set to turn 31 next season.
    • "The asking price for Trey Hendrickson was also very high," Wolfe said on Wednesday. "The Bengals are asking for a first-round pick and more I was told and teams are waiting that out and hoping that that market drops a little bit when the Bengals come down and maybe they can get that top pass-rusher." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25170132-trey-hendrickson-trade-rumors-bengals-seek-1st-round-nfl-draft-pick-more-deal
    • I mean, whoever the scout is in charge of knowing the Gamecocks.....clearly gets listened too.   Gotta give him credit for that.
