The playoffs are here, and the emotions are running high as we break down everything heading into Wild Card Weekend against the Bears.

Speculation on Jeff Hafley's future and whether Raheem Morris could be a potential DC replacement Breaking down why knocking the Bears out would take the sting out of any subsequent playoff loss Aaron Rodgers sideline flashbacks during the Steelers-Ravens thriller and why it felt good to root for him again The bizarre Eagles decision to rest starters and hand away the two seed Brian Gutekunst's aggressive free agency approach versus Ted Thompson's draft-only philosophy Seahawks loom as a terrifying potential second-round opponent with the league's top-ranked defense The crew digs into whether Jordan Love can tap into that championship mentality, why the Packers offense should feast on Chicago's struggling defense, and what it would mean to send the Bears home in the first round. Plus, Cole Kmet won't even talk to his sister during Packers week because she's dating Lucas Van Ness. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The NFL coaching carousel is spinning wildly, but one glaring absence stands out—no Green Bay Packers names on anyone's interview list. What does that say about our offensive staff? Ryan breaks down all the major coaching moves including John Harbaugh's shocking departure from Baltimore, the Giants going all-in to land him, and why the Packers' lack of coaching buzz should concern fans. Plus, the full injury report breakdown for Saturday's Bears matchup, weather conditions at Soldier Field, and Matt LaFleur's press conference highlights including the definitive answer on Jordan Morgan's position. The episode also covers a significant organizational restructuring that could change how the Packers operate—moving away from Mark Murphy's "silos" approach to a traditional GM-over-coach structure under new president Erich Polian. And for draft enthusiasts, early scouting on two intriguing center prospects: Iowa's Logan Jones (an athletic freak on Bruce Feldman's list) and Alabama's Parker Brailsford. Calls from listeners round out the show with passionate takes on the team's bright future despite this injury-plagued season. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Despite the lack of (outdoor) professional golf during this first week of January, Andy and Brendan know the show must go on! The two are admittedly down in the dumps a bit with no Kapalua on our TV screens and wonder if we've already seen the final PGA Tour event played at the Plantation Course. This "rite of passage" may not be kicking off 2026, but there has been plenty of TGL to fill the void! The Bay GC and Atlanta Drive match on Tuesday night was a "second-screen filler" for Andy, Brendan, and PJ, and all three admit some level of fatigue with the screen golf league after just three matches of season two. Some of the new holes are nice, Chris Gotterup has been a star, and Roberto Castro has improved the ESPN broadcast, but nobody knows where TGL should rightfully stand in the golf ecosystem. Even with all of these outstanding questions facing its first league, TGL has expanded and founded a WTGL, coming this winter! Lexi Thompson, a semi-retired professional golfer, has signed on to be the face of the women's league, which Andy and Brendan both deem to be "too much" screen golf. Andy thinks a WTGL league could be better than the LPGA's week-to-week product, but doesn't have much faith that the TGL will figure out how to get there. There's a lengthy discussion about TGL rosters and how nobody can figure out who's on what team with all of the "alternates" in play before everyone agrees that too much time has been spent on screen golf in this episode. Speaking of teams, Talor Gooch made a strong, Sam Presti-like move adding Harold Varner III to Smash GC! This trade came as a result of Thomas Detry joining fellow Illini Thomas Pieters on the 4Aces, marking another signing for LIV during this Hot Stove season. Elvis Smylie has also joined the league, teaming up with Leish and Cam Smith on the Rippers. After a very, very abbreviated Schedule for the Week, Andy leads his yearly look at the Top 10 of the OWGR as the group predicts which players will fall out of the top spots by the end of 2026. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter. A presale for FEGC members begins at 11 am ET on January 7, with general public tickets going live on January 9.

Host Brad Fowler reacts to a chaotic postseason as shocking NFL coaching news, College Football Playoff semifinals, and NFL Wild Card matchups take center stage. We open with a full reaction to breaking news just before recording: the Baltimore Ravens firing head coach John Harbaugh. We break down why the move happened, who Baltimore should hire next, why the Ravens instantly become the best NFL head coaching job available, and why Harbaugh now becomes the top coaching candidate on the market. Next, we dive into Black Monday fallout across the NFL, including the firings of Jonathan Gannon, Pete Carroll, Raheem Morris, and Kevin Stefanski. We discuss Arizona’s reset, the Raiders’ collapse, Atlanta’s long-overdue clean house despite a talented roster, and why Cleveland’s issues extend far beyond Stefanski — with the Deshaun Watson trade still shaping the franchise. In College Football, we preview and make picks for the CFP semifinals. We break down Miami vs Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl, Miami’s shocking win over Ohio State, and whether the Hurricanes can control the game or survive a shootout. We also preview the Peach Bowl rematch between Oregon and Indiana, revisiting their regular-season matchup, quarterback pressure, line-of-scrimmage battles, and why Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers may be the most complete team left. We close with full NFL Wild Card previews and picks, including Rams vs Panthers, Packers vs Bears, Bills vs Jaguars, 49ers vs Eagles, Chargers vs Patriots, and Texans vs Steelers. We break down key injuries, coaching advantages, matchup edges, and why several favorites may be on upset alert. From Drake Maye’s MVP-level leap, Trevor Lawrence’s late-season surge, Houston’s elite defense, and why Pittsburgh may be the weakest team in the playoff field — it’s a must-listen postseason episode.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Lions fire OC John Morton, identity reset No Playoff Preview, Real Talk Instead The Detroit Lions Podcast returned from the holiday break without a playoff show. The tone matched the season. Missed chances. Hard questions. Changes have already started. Offensive coordinator John Morton is out. The hosts recorded on Wednesday and expect Brad Holmes to speak Thursday. Dan Campbell has talked about getting back to what worked. The message is clear. The Detroit Lions need an identity reset. Identity Drift Shows in the Red Zone The episode drilled into situational errors. A Bears example stood out. Two straight red-zone trips reached the 10. Each series ended with three consecutive pass plays. Then it happened again on the next drive. That is not how this offense was built. It undercut the run game and the line. The NFL punishes predictability. The show connected that stretch to the broader theme Campbell raised about drifting from their roots. The result was stalled drives and frustration. Coordinator Fallout and Staff Questions Morton's dismissal capped a season-long slide. The issues were visible from Week 1. He was replaced as play caller during the season, and he seemed to take shots in the media after that. The episode described how that dynamic felt like a wedge in the locker room. There had been chatter about Morton returning in a support role or coaching a position group. That is not happening. He is gone. Tyler Rolle is leaving for Iowa State to be the OC, which adds another moving piece. The run game needs stewardship. The show questioned whether Hank Fraley will remain the run game coordinator. That role could change or become a lesson learned. Names like Scotty Montgomery and Tashard Choice surfaced as influences on the room, but the point was bigger than any one title. The Detroit Lions must fix process, sequencing, and trust. What's Next in Detroit Campbell's comments about roots and situational football set the offseason agenda. Self-scout every call sheet. Rebuild the red-zone plan. Recommit to the physical identity that carried this team two and three years ago. The hosts expect visible changes as the NFL offseason unfolds. Holmes' remarks should frame the next steps. The episode also teased draft conversation to close, with an eye on keeping the window open. The task is straightforward. Cut the noise. Align staff roles. Call games that fit the personnel. The Detroit Lions do not need a new soul. They need to play like themselves again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HW9g-DEiSU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #johnmortonfiring #dancampbellpressconference #bradholmestospeak #redzoneplaycalling #bearsgameredzone #rungamecoordinator #hankfraley #scottymontgomery #tashardchoice #tylerrolletoiowastate #playcallerchange #gettingbacktoroots Learn more about your ad choices.
