    S6 E10: AFC Preview

    In this episode, Rob & DT breakdown the American Football Conference ahead of the '26 season. Where do our beloved Bills stack up? The fellas are joined by longtime friend of the show and founder of the Mob Files, Sheed (@sheed808) to discuss everything in the AFC. It has been our division for the last 5yrs until NE "took" it from us last season. Was that an anomaly based on their weak schedule, or signs of things to come? The Jets are, well the Jets as the Dolphins seem intent on tanking. The AFCN is always interesting and this year is no different with 3 new HC's in the division. Can Cincy help Burrow on D finally? Is Lamar ready to bounce back with a new scheme? A Pittsburgh reunion is in effect for Rodgers' final season. DT goes scorched earth on the entire AFCS which leads to lots of laughs. The AFCW is a tricky division to predict with 3 major contenders, or what seem to be. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage The fellas discuss their plans for the W1 opener in HOU as the 2026 NFL season is rapidly upon us.

    S6 E9: Act II

    In this episode, Rob & DT are joined for their annual visit with the resident Mother of The Crew & Editor-In-Chief of BuffaloFAMBase, Robyn Mundy (@RobynMundyWYO) to discuss everything that makes up our All-World QB Josh Allen. There is a lot that is new for 17 entering the '26 season. New HC. New stadium. New wife. New baby. How will all of this newness affect him on the playing field? How much longer of Josh do we actually have? How do we maximize the time we have left as Josh enters the 2nd Act of his career? NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage Our Bills made it pretty safely through the preseason. How excited are we all for real games to actually be played? Nickel City Crew & Bills Mafia ALL send our love & prayers to Momma Mundy today and everyday!

    S6 E8: Defensive Shift

    In this episode, Rob & DT are back to discuss everything about the '26 Buffalo Bills defense led by Jim Leonhard. The fellas are joined by Rob's Twitter buddies, Jerick Hall (@Jance716) and Sherm Lee (@shermgeezay) to breakdown the new Bills defense and what it could look like.  The consensus is that although 'bend but don't break' had it's merits, the philosophy itself had run its course and Rob is embracing the change that is ahead. We may give up a few more big plays, but Leonhard's new scheme should allow for that all to cancel out in the wash. Does Leonhard have the pieces necessary on the d-line to make an immediate impact in '26? The Bills never brought in another LB to help buffer against injuries. Will that turn out to be a mistake? CJGJ is the type of player that Rob thinks McD would have never brought on board. His presence signals a change in mentality that was sorely needed from "McDermott's guys". Finally, Rob asks the fellas if there is a chance we end up in the same exact place as the previous seasons by years end? It's something that haunts him despite his renewed hope with the defensive shift. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nickel-city-crew-podcast--5347543/support.

    S6 E7: It's Joe's Show Now

    In this live episode, Rob & DT are riled up to talk everything about the '26 Buffalo Bills offense led by new HC Joe Brady in what should be an interesting season to say the least. The fellas are joined again by Nate Geary of WGR & Fernando Schmude of Buffalo Rumblings to chop up the offense. How much was Joe Brady inhibited by Sean McDermott in the style of the offense our Bills have been running these past few years? Did McD hold Brady back? In a rare moment, Rob & DT totally disagree. Nate thinks that the Bills offense finally can have a 3-layered attack that reminds the fellas of the Daboll good 'ol days and it could unlock the best version of 17 we've seen in years. Can 86 be trusted at all? Rob isn't here for the hype as he's been burned too many times, while Fernando & Nate think this could be his true breakout season. Will James Cook really be used out of the backfield as a pass catcher under Brady & Pete Carmichael? Is Josh Allen finally free? The fellas discuss if finally being paired with an offensive mind will equal a more free-spirited 17 and what that could mean for the '26 season? NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage Rob, DT, Fernando & Nate wrap up the show by letting the audience know their plans for the preseason opener as our Bills host the Carolina Panthers in our new stadium.

    S6 E6: Set The Table

    In this episode, Rob & DT are back from summer break as our beloved Buffalo Bills begin Training Camp ahead of the '26 season. Brady is the new head man in charge and is doing subtle things to put his imprint on his team. Change in life is sometimes necessary as we all know. Who are some of the standouts as camp has begun? Josh Allen and DJ Moore seem to be clicking early on and the fellas are here for it all as 17 has needed a reliable target in crunch time situations. Rob is here for everything that CJGJ is bringing to the team and thinks it will be a great addition. DT agrees and coins a new phrase. Dogness! LOL NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage Rob & DT bring The Crew up to speed on their respective summers thus far and then tackle 3 topics that they missed while on break.

    S6 E5: Your Own Man

    In this episode, Rob & DT give their takeaways from Bills OTA's that just wrapped up this week before Rob gets something off of his chest that has been bothering him regarding new HC Joe Brady. Josh Allen is throwing to D.J. Moore and although it's routes on air, it looked wonderful nonetheless. 17 finally has a WR1 again and that has to be positive for the '26 Bills offense. Landon Jackson & Dewayne Carter seemed to have beefed up this offseason. Could their roles change in Jim Leonhard's new 3-4 defense? Dion Dawkins looked a little overweight while at OTA's. Is it a cause for concern or is it too early to worry about it? Finally, Rob wonders if Joe Brady is just Brandon Beane's 'Yes Man' and if it'll hurt his chances at success when the regular season begins. DT strongly disagrees and explains why we'll have plenty of time to get after Brady, but now isn't it. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage Rob & DT recap the sobering end to the Buffalo Sabres season while expressing gratitude for such a memorable season. What lies ahead now? The fellas both believe now is the time to go all in as this team was close to their goal of winning The Cup. DT breaks news to end the show regarding our sponsor!

    S6 E4: Tough Sledding Ahead

    In this episode, Rob & DT again enjoy their favorite time of the offseason as the '26 NFL Schedule was released last night. We knew the opponents, now we know the order and the fellas dissect it all. The first 5 games are going to be an early season stiff test for Joe Brady & Co. as our beloved Bills will face some tough AFC competition with the home opener in Week 2 against a hungry Lions team.  The Bills play the Raiders Week 5 followed by the bye week and then 2 contending teams in BAL & MIN before playing the two tanking AFCE teams. Again, another brutal 5 game stretch follows thereafter featuring our annual clash with KC followed by NE, GB, CHI and DEN! If our '26 Bills are among the top teams in the conference by the end of the regular season, it'll be because they most definitely earned it. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Presented By: Queen City Vintage Rob & DT discuss how they've been consuming the Sabres 2nd Rd playoff run that may come to an end tomorrow in G6, but in true DT fashion, he's holding onto the last bit of hope. Either way, it's been an amazing run for the entire Sabreshood and the city of Buffalo and their fans across the world.

    S6 E3: Depth Draft

    In this episode, Rob & DT are joined by Rob's Twitter buddy, Tom Ames, host of Bills Mafia Inn on X, to breakdown all 10 draft picks for our Buffalo Bills and what their impact could be on the team this year and beyond. Rob & DT admit that Rd2 of the draft picks for the Bills confused them at first, but in time, made more sense. T.J. Parker is a high end talent with power and a relentless motor. Davison Igbinosun is a physical and fast press Man CB who adds needed depth to the secondary in Jim Leonhard's new defense. Jude Bowry is adding more depth to the offensive line after the losses of David Edwards and swing T Ryan Van DeMark. Skyler Bell is Rob's favorite Bills pick of the draft while DT preferred a bigger WR. Kaleb Elarms-Orr could compete for immediate playing time at LB while defensive back Jalon Kilgore is an unanimous Bills Mafia favorite. Beane drafts Zane Durant to fill the need at DT, but Tom is concerned about his lack of prototypical size for the position. Our Bills drafted a punter in Tommy Dorman, so we all know what that means for the P battle in camp this summer. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage The fellas highlight their respective weekends ahead of Sabres G6. Rob is kind of nervous while DT is as cool as a hockey puck.
