Chicago Bears & Philadelphia Eagles WILL MISS NFL Playoffs & Jaguars Take a MASSIVE Step Back in AFC Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

The Chicago Bears made a big leap forward in 2025, going to the playoffs after winning the NFC North, but some think Chicago is primed for a fall back down to earth and in a competitive division, that could spell a missed postseason. Likewise, the Philadelphia Eagles have high expectations and if things don't go according to plan we could see a big-time blow up with a lot of changing parts. Back in the NFC North, the Green Bay Packers are also hoping for better things this season, but with Micah Parsons out for half the season likely and Matt LaFleur losing some ground in the locker room, it's not impossible to see the Packers miss out on the playoffs. The Detroit Lions are also careening towards a second year of no playoffs. In the AFC, the Jacksonville Jaguars had a bounce back year, but that always creates the potential for regression. Especially after an offseason of perceived hubris from the front office. The Kansas City Chiefs could be getting Patrick Mahomes back sooner than they expected, but even with Mahomes last season, the Chiefs weren't a confirmed postseason entry. Penning them in this year would be a mistake too.

PANIC: Is Kevin Stefanski just REPEATING failed strategies for the Atlanta Falcons? Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

Photo : Dale Zanine via IMAGN Images

Atlanta Falcons raise eyebrows by re-signing Kyle Pitts and putting faith in Kevin Stefanski, but are they truly breaking old patterns or just repackaging the “same old Falcons”? Tony Wiggins and David Harrison spotlight the team’s identity crisis, critique the trend of hiring coaches to fix old regimes, and question if Atlanta’s quarterback battle signals meaningful change. Aaron Freeman’s sharp analysis challenges whether doing the same thing—just more efficiently—will spark new results in the NFC South.

The conversation moves around the league, dissecting Miami Dolphins’ strategy with Malik Willis, assessing the Carolina Panthers’ “surprise” playoff run, and debating if Dave Canales can sustain momentum. Insightful takes include Todd Monken’s public gratitude for Lamar Jackson, Cleveland Browns’ risky belief in plug-and-play coaching, and the Denver Broncos’ run game overhaul with J.K. Dobbins. Key stats, player comps, and schedule breakdowns keep the NFL hot seat burning.

Detroit Lions BIG DISASTER Ahead After Terrion Arnold Release & Indianapolis Colts Collapse Coming Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

The Detroit Lions just released Terrion Arnold, their first round cornerback from the 2024 NFL Draft, and it continues a concerning pattern for the NFC fan favorite. After losing their talented coordinators a year ago, Dan Campbell missed the playoffs as the roster got worse. Now, with no significant improvement to coaching or the roster, the Lions may be destined for a massive drop off. The Indianapolis Colts could be a team that experiences a similar upheaval as Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard have to be on watch by new ownership. If the Colts can recapture their early 2025 magic, heads may roll in Indy. The NFC east has a lot of coaches on notice as the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders could all reasonably make change after a bad year. The AFC sports two contenders in the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens that could have a mess on their hands after a subpar 2026.

Detroit Lions cut ties with Terrion Arnold after felony charges shake the roster—are the Lions headed for a major step back? Matt Dery explains why Detroit had no choice, while Kevin Ostreicher highlights how off-field issues and depth challenges set the stage for a dramatic NFC North showdown.

Plus, can Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals’ revamped offense finally outpace the Lamar Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens? Insightful analysis covers the Cleveland Browns’ revamped run game under Todd Monken, the Buffalo Bills’ James Cook-led rushing attack, and key upcoming battles that could reshape the playoff picture.

Nick Sirianni WILL BE FIRED if Philadelphia Eagles FAIL & Detroit Lions RELEASE Terrion Arnold Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

The Philadelphia Eagles have high expectations going into 2026 and if they do not hit those, there is a high chance of change that could include firing Nick Sirianni as the head coach. Kyle Shanahan may be one of the best coaches in the NFL, but if the San Francisco 49ers underperform, there may be an urge to shake things up and it could leave Shanahan on shaky footing in 2027. In the NFC North, teams also expect a lot this year. The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions feel like teams that are getting further away though. Matt LaFluer and Dan Campbell could have a hot seat by the end of the year, if not sooner. Finally, the coach with the most tenure in the NFL, Andy Reid with the Kansas City Chiefs, and one of the newest coaches in the league, Todd Monken with the Cleveland Browns, could be staring at a similar fate by the end of the season.

Hosts Tony Wiggins and Julian Council spotlight how CJ2K’s record-setting speed and unforgettable runs gave hope to Titans fans, while also highlighting the brutal realities former NFL stars sometimes face off the field.

Unfiltered barbershop energy, passionate analysis, and heartfelt tributes make this Locked On NFL episode a must-listen for fans.

HOT SEAT: Zac Taylor UNDER FIRE with Cincinnati Bengals & Joe Brady ONE AND DONE with Buffalo Bills Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

Coaching changes happen every year in the NFL and the coach on the hottest seat in the league right now is Zac Taylor with the Cincinnati Bengals. Taylor got the Bengals to a Super Bowl, but after years of missed playoffs and slow starts, at some point ownership and star quarterback Joe Burrow will require change. Joe Brady could be the victim of a one and done scenario in Buffalo with expectations as high as they are. Aaron Glenn may be the most obvious name, but Glenn has a low bar for improvement and that gives him a better shot of keeping his job. Todd Bowles is another coach who has experienced success, but could be gone in Tampa Bay as a result of the Buccaneers just going in a totally new direction. Finally, two coaches in the NFC East have a target on their backs. Dan Quinn needs to get the Washington Commanders back to the playoffs or he may be replaced by an offensive mind to help Jayden Daniels. Likewise, the Dallas Cowboys could move on from Brian Schottenheimer if they have another disappointing season.
