A Giant Problem | Ending The Drought

October 19, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 52.1 MB

Joni us in this episode as we try to justify a win that could be better described as a near-loss. Certainly the fans leaving 1 Bills Drive after the game felt like they lost something. We can only hope that what we lost was temporary, and that we will find it again on Sunday against the Pats. Also...please lord....let Josh's shoulder heal quickly and decisively.

Chuck It In The Bin | Ending The Drought

October 12, 2023 12:00 - 59 minutes - 51.2 MB

Gutted. We're in a right state! Would have been chuffed with a win, but they mucked it all up. Sorry, I never get to use British slang. I feel better now! We are going to leave the Giants in the dust and forget this ever happened. Unless we lose...in which case can't be held accountable for the slang that I use. Follow us on social @ETDBuffalo!

How The Turn Tables | Ending The Drought

October 05, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.2 MB

My my my... On today's episode we gush over the Bills and enjoy the moment. It was a stellar performance on both sides of the football, it couldn't have gone much better than it did! It's a double standard in this league sometimes. The Dolphins were the gods of all man, destined for greatness, unstoppable! However even now after we shamed them we hear things about the bills such as "It's only 4 weeks" or "Enjoy it while you can". I will. I will enjoy it while I can. I will enjoy it even...

Technology Hates Us | Ending The Drought

September 22, 2023 01:26 - 54 minutes - 47.3 MB

So we missed another episode...the past 12 months or so has been rough for us. Usually this is because of user error, but this time the audio just failed to write properly. What are you gonna do, right? This week we talk about the Bills EPIC comeback, our upcoming battle in Washington, and the dying breed that is the elite RB. It's a passers league now, and running backs are getting paid proportionally less every year. Is it getting difficult to justify the risk of relying on the run game...

Getting Over It | Ending The Drought

September 07, 2023 12:00 - 52 minutes - 46.1 MB

On todays episode we talk about getting that monkey off your back. The Bills went through an insane string of events last year that tested us both physically and mentally. The drama followed us into the preseason and we think it's about time to move on and never look back. What better way to do that than destroying the Jets in glorious primetime? Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo! P.S. More like "Ending The Doubt" am I right? ...sorry.

Final Cuts | Ending The Drought

August 31, 2023 12:00 - 44 minutes - 38.6 MB

Preseason is over and it's time to pregame! In this episode we talk about the Bills last minute roster changes. Like a seagull outside of McDonalds, Brian Daboll gobbled up another one of our leftovers (we love you Brian, and we hope you do well again this year!). Boogie is a Giant, Von Miller is PUP, but otherwise things haven't been too surprising. The big day is almost here! Let's GOOOOOO! Catch us on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Pre-Preseason Episode | Ending The Drought

August 10, 2023 12:00 - 59 minutes - 49.8 MB

IT'S ALMOST TIME BOYS! Whether you like preseason or not, the real deal approaches! In this weeks episode we discuss the Red Blue game, Josh's sexy(?) helmet, and some of our most anticipated offensive players. Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo to catch up with us every week!

Riddle Me That | Ending The Drought

August 03, 2023 12:01 - 1 hour - 54.7 MB

Riddle Me This | Ending The Drought

August 03, 2023 12:00 - 56 minutes - 48.7 MB

Riddle me this....why didn't we post an episode last week? We dun goofed! We thought the episode was lost, but we found it again and are bringing you a double episode drop! In this episode we catch up on all the juicy football happenings. After that ask some hard hitting Buffalo Bills questions, with more to come next week. Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo.

Bills Talk Unscripted | Ending The Drought

May 19, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MB

Hello everyone, Jason here. I wish I could explain what today's episode is about...but I wasn't there. More importantly, I don't know if anyone could summarize this episode. This is a completely off-the-cuff discussion by two Bills fans about all sorts of topics. They get excited, they get heated, they go over time, and they curse more than usual. You'll love it. Tune in next week for a schedule breakdown! Catch us on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Let's Talk Schedule | Ending The Drought

May 11, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 51.4 MB

Hey everyone! We are back today to talk about the impending release of the Bills Schedule! Jeff & Jake are squaring off in a battle of prognostication and futility to see if they have the skills to predict the impossible. This never goes well, but we will keep trying every year anyway. Wish us luck! P.S. Who do you think we will face in our primetime games this year? Let us know on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Bills Draft Breakdown | Ending The Drought

May 04, 2023 12:00 - 58 minutes - 51.6 MB

In todays episode we break down the draft results and explain why we believe this could be the best draft for our offense since we picked up Josh Allen! A lot of teams win a superbowl with a mediocre defense, but very rarely can a team pull it off without a top tier offense. Last year we showed our weaknesses, our predictability, and our lack of ingenuity (beyond the occasional mad science from Josh in the moment). But now everyone else might as well throw all their tape out, this is a dif...

Money Problems | Ending The Drought

April 13, 2023 12:00 - 55 minutes - 48.4 MB

Hello everyone! Today we (by accident) spent a lot of time talking about money. The modern path to victory in football is through the air, and quarterbacks know it. With great QB's earning 45-50mil a year, teams are being stretched thin and having to make tough choices. Lamar Jackson wants a deal like that, but will he get one? We also discussed the new stadium and it's hidden costs to fans, including possible taxation on local residents who use their lots for parking. Give us a break! We ...

What are we waiting for? | Ending The Drought

April 06, 2023 12:00 - 49 minutes - 42.9 MB

On todays episode we discuss what the possibilities are for an ideal draft. We also ask a question that we probably should have asked a long time ago as Bills fans...what are we waiting for? Let's face it, we don't know how long the Bills can keep this going, and it feels like we are losing ground here. Should we move heaven and earth to get the team we need to get the job done now while we still can? What do you guys think? Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo

We Don't Need The Spotlight | Ending The Drought

April 01, 2023 17:41 - 49 minutes - 43 MB

So much buzz is happening right now in the AFC East. Everyone's making their move and the Bills certainly don't have the national coverage they did last Spring. That's just fine with us! Let us be the underdog and take some pressure off. Join us today for the first episode of our 4th season as we talk about all the changes the Bills have seen so far, and what we still need to do to be productive this year. Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Keep Moving Forward | Ending The Drought

January 19, 2023 18:23 - 57 minutes - 53.2 MB

There's not a lot to say after this one, boys. We should have done better. However, we did enough to keep going and right now that's all that matters. We'll see you all after the next one! Keep the hope alive! You can find us on social media @ETDBuffalo

One Love Buffalo | Ending The Drought

January 14, 2023 14:39 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MB

Where to start? We haven't done an episode since mid-December! We finally record one, and there is far too much to talk about. This city has seen a lot of hardship this year. You watch football to (among other reasons) enjoy the escapism and leave everything behind for a few hours. It's all just a fun game at the end of the day. Every once in a while something happens that pulls you right back to reality. Damar Hamlin's injury was one of the scariest things we've ever seen on the field, and...

The Band's Back Together! | Ending The Drought

December 16, 2022 13:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

Sorry we were out for a couple weeks there, things get busy around the holidays! We are back at a very interesting time though! Tua and the Dolphins will be fish-out-of-water on Saturday, which gives the Bills a chance to test out some new (and old?) offensive weapons... Let's all give a big welcome back to Cole Beasley and John Brown! Our team has a better chance than ever at seeing this season through to the finish! Join us on social media @ETDBuffalo

Only Human | Ending The Drought

November 25, 2022 13:00 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MB

Todays episode is about perspective. We want out team to be best in the game every time they get on the field, that isn't going to happen. The Buffalo Bills are an elite team of humans - and those humans have slumps, off days, injuries, and failures. The team that did so well early on this season is still here, they just have to work some stuff out and stay healthy. Also....don't lose the division games! Find us on social media @ETDBuffalo!

They Wanted It More | Ending The Drought

November 11, 2022 20:29 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

How many of you felt it when the Bills came out the tunnel at MetLife? The mood was...weird. Josh seemed tired, or bummed out. The Jets played our defense like a fiddle, and beat us in a war of attrition and our offense shut down entirely during the second half of the game - at least the few plays we actually got to be on the field. Add in an injury from Josh? Not a great week to say the least. As of this writing on Friday the 11th Josh has missed another practice, and the likelihood of hi...

Legends & Legacies | Ending The Drought

November 03, 2022 12:00 - 53 minutes - 49.8 MB

Today we are 6 & 1 and the Aaron Rodgers is wondering where he went wrong in life. He isn't the only quarterback having doubts right about now either. As we soak up the legacy of the NFL and the Bills, we have a fun question for you...if you could go back in time and bring back any player from the "drought" years of the Buffalo Bills at their prime, who would you get? Come check us out on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Errant Rodgers | Ending The Drought

October 28, 2022 12:00 - 55 minutes - 51.4 MB

Today we sh*t all over Aaron Rodgers...and talk about other stuff! Let's just say after this season we might need a joint retirement party for a lot of QBs. We don't think the Packers are much of a threat, but we discuss what could be the variables we need to succeed, and whether this game is just a stepping stone for us.  Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo.

Special Guest - Brando | Ending The Drought

October 20, 2022 12:00 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MB

Today we celebrate what is potentially the most important win of the season - and we do it with a guest! Please join us in welcoming Brando from Not Another Buffalo Podcast on Buffalo Rumblings! Brando works at the stadium and has a lot of hot takes on the Bills, and it was great getting the chance to chat with him. Go Bills! You can find Brando and his cohosts @NotBuffPodcast, @BuffRumblings so be sure to give them a listen! 

Thirteen Reasons Why | Ending the Drought

October 14, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MB

Gabe Davis goes OFF right before we record our 13th episode of the year...what are the odds?! I couldn't help myself... We had so much to be impressed with in this last game it's hard to hit all the talking points, but we try our best. Outstanding performances all around, including a great introduction by newcomers James Cook and Khalil Shakir. Up next we have the rematch and redemption story we all have been waiting for. We have shown that through injury after injury there is nothing this...

Two Games In One | Ending The Drought

October 06, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 56.3 MB

I hope you didn't turn the game off before halftime! After a disastrous and depressing start the Bills did what they do best and dominated the rest of the game. After a narrow margin of victory we could use a pick me up to get us in the right head space for the KC game. Do us proud at home, boys! Come join us for discussions and more @ETDBuffalo

Show Meme Where It Hurts | Ending The Drought

September 29, 2022 12:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MB

We entered Miami in a difficult position and left in a worse one. Plagued by injuries major and minor the Bills struggled to even make it through the game. Emotions were high on and off the field, exacerbated by a heat index over 100 degrees. We came SO CLOSE to victory even with fate seemingly against us. It was a very serious game except for when it wasn't. We had ornery Josh, butt punts, crotch grabs, and psychopath Ken...just to name a few. This will be a game we think about for a while...

Greater Than the Sum | Ending The Drought

September 23, 2022 12:00 - 56 minutes - 52.7 MB

What a rollercoaster of a week! We had a rocky start but what an incredible game! Minus a couple of injuries it was another fantastic showing from the best team in the NFL. The Bills have acquired enough talent to reach a higher level of play than most teams are capable of in this league, hopefully we can keep our guys safe long enough to see this through! Some are predicting choppy waters in Miami, which is understandable. They made a strong showing and have added a lot to their team, but ...

The Bigger They Are | Ending The Drought

September 16, 2022 13:04 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MB

If there was a target on Buffalo's back before week 1, it's a lot bigger now! Coming down off the high of smoking the superbowl champs we have to ask ourselves... how long can we keep this up? Here's to hoping for the best season ever, Bills Mafia! Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo

Buffalo In The Spotlight | Ending The Drought

September 08, 2022 12:00 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

Very rarely does a Superbowl champ face a real contender in week 1, but here we are. It is entirely possible that LAR will be the first and last team we face this year, so let's get this season started the right way! Join us on social media @ETDBuffalo

Who's on the Bubble? | Ending The Drought

August 25, 2022 12:00 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

Our Favorite Football Movies | Ending The Drought

August 18, 2022 12:00 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB

Today was an exciting day! We talk about personal favorite football movies, we touch on the comings and goings of preseason, and most important of all... We got an upgrade! We got some FetHeads by Triton Audio (not a sponsor). Can you hear the difference? Our audio sounds cleaner and has much less echo than before.

Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue | Ending The Drought

August 11, 2022 12:00 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MB

Old fans, new stadium, borrowed red helmets, and throwback blue jerseys. These are a few of my favorite things! We are a month out from Bills football and until then...this is the kind of stuff we have to work with. Come join us for a hodgepodge of an episode! Check us out on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Star Quality | Ending The Drought

Bills Under Pressure | Ending The Drought

July 29, 2022 12:00 - 50 minutes - 46.8 MB

In a continuation of last weeks episode, today we discuss the pros and cons of being an elite NFL franchise. Tensions are high in training camp, even (perhaps especially) in star players Josh Allen & Stefon Diggs. I guess that's what training camp is for...right? Join us on social media @ETDBuffalo and let us know whether you think Josh Allen is the best player in Buffalo sport history. If not, who is?

Buffalo Bills & Great Expectations | Ending The Drought

July 25, 2022 12:27 - 45 minutes - 42.4 MB

As training camp begins one thing is certain - the eyes of the NFL community are on the Buffalo BIlls. Whether it's an undefeated season or a championship ring, there are some heavy expectations on the team we know and love. But is it fair to hope for so much? Is it warranted? What about the new guys? Today we talk about all that and more. Join us on social media @ETDBuffalo and let us know what you think as we head into another exciting season of Buffalo football!

May 20, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 60 MB

Z-Bot Joins Us Post-Draft | Ending The Drought

May 05, 2022 12:00 - 46 minutes - 43.5 MB

What an odd draft! We got some amazing players of course, but it was so hard to predict! Not everyone had a great time, though. Poor Bill Belichick must have fallen asleep through one of his picks, very sad! Zac "Z-Bot" Bell was kind enough to give us his insight into the Buffalo Bills Draft. We loved having him and can't wait to have him back on the show! We might even join him on his podcast someday....stay tuned! P.S. We left in a little behind the scenes discussion about a new delicio...

Mocking Around | Ending The Drought

April 28, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 56 MB

Almost time for the main event! By the time this episode comes out it will be day one of the 2022 draft! We decided to end our draft speculation with some final mock drafts for you all to enjoy (or pick apart if that's more fun). But before that we went on a huge tangent - so enjoy that! Look for us on social media @ETDBuffalo!

Broken Records | Ending The Drought

January 20, 2022 13:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MB

Bills fans have spent the last 25 years surviving on memories. When Sean McDermott and Josh Allen brought our team back into the fray, it was like making new friends and catching up with old ones at the same time. We had our hopes rekindled. Perhaps we could recover from long festering wounds, and finally see a miracle we have waited so long to see. On a bitter-cold Saturday in January at Highmark Stadium we saw just that. The Buffalo Bills will go down in history as the team that played t...

Buffalo Bills Clinch Division | Ending The Drought

January 14, 2022 13:00 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MB

With a solid victory over the New York Jets, we are on to the playoffs as the division champs! First stop on the playoff tour will be at home against the New England Patriots. It's been a long season for newbie Mac Jones, and he has never played in cold like this before...ever. It's sort of like winter driving, it's not something you can fake, you have to learn by doing. First game of the playoffs is a tough time to learn! We hope to see you all again for the next game, and good luck to t...

Buffalo Bills Clap Back | Ending The Drought

December 30, 2021 13:09 - 56 minutes - 52.5 MB

Clapback - noun [ C ] informal / [klap-bak] - a clever or funny answer to someone who has criticized or insulted you. Sure Belichick, just go ahead and run it all day. That's cool. It's all fun and games when the wind is howling. How ya like me now? Stick that in your pipe and deflate it. Find us on social media @ETDBuffalo

Rematch & Rebound | Ending The Drought

December 23, 2021 13:10 - 58 minutes - 54.4 MB

Beating Cam Newton is one thing, beating his former teammates will be much more difficult. Rarely do teams get to apply the lessons learned against an opponent so quickly, but now is our chance. On the 26th we once again face New England, and this time the weather shouldn't be a factor. Regardless of whatever nonsense Belichick has in store, we need to score early/often and keep Mac Jones on his toes. Find us on social media @ETDBuffalo. 

Buffalo Seeing Red | Ending The Drought

December 17, 2021 03:57 - 53 minutes - 49.8 MB

What a rollercoaster. We came so close! First to turning off the TV at halftime, and then to the greatest comeback of the year.  This week Jake, Jason, and Jeff talk about how hard it is to fight 3 opponents at once. We had to fight Tampa, we had to fight the refs, and we had to fight ourselves. We built our team around Josh Allen and yet we aren't protecting him. When you expect him to do all the work, eventually there will be a cost. They don't make them any tougher than Josh, but there i...
