    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.

    S6 E2: Trader Beane

    In this episode, Rob & DT breakdown Brandon Beane trading down THREE TIMES last night in Rd1 of the NFL Draft and what it means for the rest of the draft as Rd2 & Rd3 begin tonight. Beane seemed determined to recoup the 2nd Rd pick he gave up in the D.J. Moore trade and traded down 3 different times to get it done. Was that a mistake? Which prospects could our Bills have been targeting at the original 26th pick? Some are still upset at the price paid in the D.J. Moore trade but Rob provides some perspective explaining it a different way after Beane hauls in 3 extra picks after Rd1 last night. Who are the targets now that the Bills are flush with 9 draft picks overall between Rd2 & Rd7? What are must need positions to address? Are the Patriots going to fire Mike Vrabel after his drama comes to light? NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage DT gives an update on the buzz in the city from the Sabres playoff run and says the city hasn't been this alive this time of year in ages, literally.

    S6 E1: Welcome Back

    In the Season 6 premiere episode, Rob & DT are back to discuss the '26 Bills offseason moves thus far and preview the NFL Draft that is now less than a week away. They close the show by giving a much deserved shoutout to our fellow Buffalo Sabres and their long suffering diehard fans. Brandon Beane finally admitted that last season's WR room wasn't cutting it and went out and traded for D.J. Moore from the Bears. Did he pay too steep of a price? Bradley Chubb was the other big name acquisition for Beane and all of The Mafia is hoping he can stay healthy and contribute when the postseason rolls around. Beane made additions to the defensive backfield including an absolute dawg in CJ Gardner-Johnson that has Rob excited. Who are the Bills going to pick with pick #26 in next weeks 26 NFL Draft? Could a trade down be possible as Beane looks to recoup picks? What position is most likely? Will that player be ready to make an immediate impact? Finally, the fellas salute our fellow Buffalo Sabres who broke their 14yr playoff drought in style by winning the Atlantic Division with 109pts this season. With the playoffs starting Sunday, DT talks about the vibes in the city ahead of what should be a glorious next few weeks and maybe months if we're lucky.

    S5 E33: Continuity Weatherman

    In the Season 5 finale episode, Rob & Dump Truck discuss our Bills hiring Joe Brady to be the new Head Coach and what it means for the future of the franchise. Joe is an energetic man who will no doubt leave his mark in this team for good or for worse. Do you believe that the Bills truly did an "exhaustive" search to find their new HC? After nine candidates and not wanting to wait on Klint Kubiak for weeks to come, the fellas are satisfied believing that President Beane and Co. did their due diligence. What are the Bills getting in Joe Brady? One thing that is 100% for sure, is that he brings an energy & swagger that is totally opposite from McD and that might be just what the doctor ordered for our Bills going forward. Does Brandon Beane truly understand that 17 needs more weapons? Despite his ego/bravado, Beane has shown us over the last two years that he isn't tone deaf when it comes to team needs and Rob is praying that is the case once again as the WR room needs major work ahead of the '26 season. Was Brady in any way held back by McDermott's philosophy during his two seasons as OC? DT explains how working for another person can be a delicate balance and now Brady doesn't have anyone else to answer to on game days and how that can be good for this offense moving forward. NICKEL CITY CREW TAILGATE REPORT Sponsored by: Queen City Vintage Rob & DT express their gratitude on another awesome season and Rob talks about how fun it has been to watch The Crew grow in numbers. The fellas will now take some time off which includes hate watching SB 60 before coming back better than ever for Season 6 sometime around the draft or thereafter. DT reminds The Crew that an emergency podcast can be called at any point if our Bills trade for Justin Jefferson! LOL.

    S5 E32: Mafia Drama

    Rob & DT are back to recap the season ending loss in Denver along with the drama-filled week thereafter that started with the firing of HC Sean McDermott and culminated with the press conference heard around the NFL world. Wow, that was yet another gut wrenching loss that our Bills suffered last Saturday night in Denver as the '25 season officially came to a close with a 33-30 OT loss to the Broncos. So many things went wrong for our Bills led by Josh Allen's 4 turnovers (5 total) and yet somehow, we were still in it in the end which makes it even more maddening.  17 was horrendous while being simultaneously great in some spots which was the ultimate roller coaster to witness. In the end the mistakes were too much to overcome as we head into another offseason falling short of the end goal. Speaking of falling short, Terry Pegula decided enough is enough and fired HC Sean McDermott after 9 seasons at the helm. The decision didn't both the fellas as they both agreed it was long overdue, but the manner in which they presented it during Mondays press conference rubbed Rob & Dump Truck, along with a large portion of The Mafia the wrong way. Does Brandon Beane even know that is roster isn't up to snuff? Or does he truly believe we have a SB caliber one? Regardless of his true feelings, the presser screamed of tone deaf leadership which is making the fellas uneasy at such a crucial time in our Josh Allen timeline. Who do you want our Bills to hire as the next HC? The Bills are conducting a widespread search which isn't a bad thing, but they'll need to hit a homerun on this next hire as we are firmly in the 2nd act of 17's career.

    S5 E31: Goodbye, Old Friend

    In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck share their fondest memories of 'The Ralph' ahead of the '25 NFL playoffs. Our Bills lost to the Eagles 13-12 last Sunday, but could it be a blessing in disguise as they now can rest their key players in regular season finale? What are your favorite memories at Highmark Stadium? From the epic tailgates to memorable matchups, the Bills stadium became a 2nd home for so many members of The Mafia. Rob & DT pay homage before the final game (most likely) ever to be played there. Goodbye, Old Friend. You will be missed in more ways than we can even express with words.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nickel-city-crew-podcast--5347543/support.
