Well That's Embarrassing | Ending The Drought

December 09, 2021 12:12 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MB

The bigger they are, the harder we fall? We are 1 and 4 against teams with winning records, and next we face Tampa Bay and Tom Brady. It certainly doesn't inspire confidence. This week our hosts try to avoid despair in the face of a very ugly loss. Opportunities were wasted, strategy seemed non-existent, and we lost to a quarterback who might actually be an inflatable arm flailing tube man. Ugh. Come check us out on social media @ETDBUffalo. We promise we will try to cheer up. 

Make Or Break Time | Ending The Drought

December 02, 2021 05:05 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

Not to toot our teams horn...but we beat half a team on Thanksgiving! In all seriousness the Bills performed well, but it's going to take more than that to beat the Pats. Thankfully, we have Lotulelei, Brown, and Feliciano coming back to help. This is it guys. We need this game. Follow us on social media @ETDBuffalo.

Get Mad! | Ending The Drought

November 25, 2021 12:29 - 46 minutes - 43.5 MB

Happy Turkey Day everybody! We don't know about you guys, but watching coach McDermott and Josh Allen's emotionless corpses get in front of the camera every week is getting old. "We need to be better." "We're going to look forward." "The only thing that matters is the next game." "This isn't who we are." Well you know what? Maybe it is a little bit of who we are right now. Let's stop pretending this isn't a big problem and DO something. In todays episode we talk about empty gestures. Let's...

What We Needed | Ending The Drought

November 18, 2021 05:01 - 50 minutes - 47 MB

The Bills successfully recovered from a tough three weeks. It was exactly what we all needed. Jake & Jeff are on their own this week to discuss the ways Buffalo managed to turn things around. They made key changes on the offense, and we want to give a big shoutout to Brian Daboll for helping remind everyone what the Bills can do! On the consistently top tier defense, we still managed to outperform with some big takeaways! P.S. Bring on Breida! Catch up with us every week on social media ...

Venting Frustrations | Ending The Drought

November 14, 2021 13:39 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MB

Jake & Jeff wanted to stay positive this week. Before we recorded this weeks episode (which is VERY late, sorry) we decided not to focus on the negativity. Josh Allen wants the Bills to look forward and move on, and so did we....until we didn't. We feel better after some good venting though! Afterwards we discuss the upcoming game against the Jets. Division games are always tougher, and no victory is guaranteed. High hopes and manageable expectations, right guys? Look for us on social med...

Managing Expectations | Ending The Drought

November 05, 2021 02:32 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MB

In todays episode, we talk about pressure, where it comes from, and why some wins feel different than others. When you have one of the best teams in the league, you expect a lot of them every game. Especially when we face an opponent we stomped into the dirt last time. But it isn't always going to happen, and we should be cool with it. The Buffalo Bills will not always perform like a Superbowl team, doesn't mean we can't win one.  Now if we lose to Jacksonville...we will cross that bridge ...

Forgetting The Titans | Ending The Drought

October 21, 2021 03:43 - 44 minutes - 41.6 MB

Whether it's a helmet to the face or a hard-fought loss, sometimes you have to take one on the chin and move on. Today our hosts share bittersweet thoughts on our trip to Tennessee, with the hope that after the bye we don't have to dwell on it again. We also discussed the upcoming divisional matches (since we won't have anything better to watch) and then on to a SPOOOOOKY match against the Dolphins on Halloween night! Spooky for them that is! Catch up with all our posts and our new episod...

Bills Leap All Hurdles | Ending The Drought

October 14, 2021 03:31 - 50 minutes - 47.2 MB

Josh Allen gets mad hops and dunks all over the Chiefs just like we hoped he would! #1 team in the NFL, Best Offense, Best Defense, average point spread of 28 over our opponents, reasonably chill schedule from here on out...I mean come on. It's hard to imagine a better season than this! GO BILLS! After we finished being giddy over our kickass team, Jeff and Jake discussed who the AFC and NFC Contenders and Pretenders are. What do you guys think? Any sleeper teams to watch out for? Follow u...

The Bills Make Me Wanna Shutout! | Ending The Drought

October 07, 2021 03:38 - 47 minutes - 44.2 MB

Two shutouts in 4 games baby!  Join us as we recap the last game and preview what might be the most important game of the season. Let's prove why we are we going to be the superbowl champs by stomping the Chiefs!

Baddest On The East Coast

September 30, 2021 03:12 - 50 minutes - 46.8 MB

Apologies for missing last week guys, Jason had an illness. Now that's a little more like it! After a distressing first week we faced the fish and showed them who's the king of the AFC East. It was far from perfect but it was a step in the right direction! Next we faced Washington and we saw the championship level play we need! With a high chance of victory against Houston this weekend, hopefully we will be in high spirits to face the Chiefs on October 10th.  Look for us on Facebook and T...

One Sad Week | Ending The Drought

September 16, 2021 03:31 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MB

Well, that could have gone better. Today we talk about the Buffalo Bills disappointing performance in game one against Pittsburgh. It's hard to know where to point the finger(s), and at the end of the day all we can do now is look forward to a much better game against Miami! We also have a painful conversation about the situation with our local stadiums and the vaccine mandates. We generally try to avoid the topic, but this time it was too big to let lie. P.S. Why do the Steelers always h...

Bills Bubble Court | Ending The Drought

August 26, 2021 03:59 - 53 minutes - 49.7 MB

There's not enough room for everyone on this team, and it's time to trim the fat. But who should stay? Well, you need a judge for that. And that judge is me! Welcome to Bubble Court!!! Today I (Jason) hear the pleas of Jake and Jeff as they make an argument for their players of choice. After deliberation over 10 different players in 5 positions we came up with what I hope were the right guys for the job. P.S. We had a great time too! Make sure you check out our Fred Jackson signed Jersey ...

Special Guest Nate @ctwpod | Ending The Drought

All-in on Allen | Ending The Drought

August 12, 2021 10:43 - 46 minutes - 43.5 MB

In todays episode, our hosts discuss Josh Allen's unprecedented contract extension and what we expect out of him in the next 6 years. That money has to come from somewhere, so where will the Bills tighten their belts? Who do you want to see make the cut, and who do you think we can let go? Who else on the team besides Allen & Diggs that you think are must-haves in McDermott and Beane's regime? Let us know. Also, we have an AMAZING giveaway! Go to our facebook @ETDBuffalo to learn how you ...

Pads on & Getting Real | Ending The Drought

August 05, 2021 04:17 - 46 minutes - 43.1 MB

Football is starting to get real again! Injuries are piling up, and even with one less pre-season game every team knows just how difficult it is to get a healthy team to week 1 (especially with you-know-what coming back around). But enough with all that negativity! In todays podcast we discuss more positive things, like whether the Bills will get moved to Texas! *checks notes* Okay...I promise it isn't as bad as it sounds! Join the guys as they hit a variety of topics, including an attempt...

July 29, 2021 03:49 - 53 minutes - 49.3 MB

We're back! Football is coming and it won't be long now! Today the hosts talk about the upcoming season and what changes we might see. We have some rock solid guys anchoring our team but there is still some uncertainty in a few positions. With a lot of flexibility comes a lot of questions, in almost all facets of the team. Who would you like to see breakout this year and snag that first position on the roster? Please follow us on Facebook & Twitter @ETDBuffalo for updates, news, and cool p...

The Bills Deserve Better | Ending The Drought

May 27, 2021 03:56 - 58 minutes - 54.4 MB

In todays episode, Jake, Jeff, and Jason discuss the state of the AFC east and then later dive into a long-standing tradition of the Buffalo Bills not getting enough respect. Whether it was Jim Kelly's Bills or Josh Allen's, it takes a lot to convince certain people that you should be looked at as a Super Bowl contender. Obviously we have had a LOT of years where we weren't, but those days are over! Let's get some better primetime representation here people! Come visit us on Twitter @ETDBu...

Post Draft Interview w/ Bruce Nolan | Ending The Drought

May 06, 2021 02:34 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MB

So how well did everyone do on their Buffalo Bills mock drafts? Not great? Neither did we. But we still liked it!

We give our insights, but we also get some new perspective as we interview a special guest... Bruce Nolan from the @BruceExclusive Podcast, part of the @BuffaloRumblings Network of Podcasts. Yes, Bruce Nolan like the movie Bruce Almighty, which also featured th...

What Makes A Draft Expert? | Ending The Drought

April 22, 2021 04:09 - 53 minutes - 49.9 MB

On todays episode, Jake & Jeff try to determine what qualifies someone to be an "expert" when guessing draft results. We also discuss some potential CB picks, and later we try something a little different. I (Jason) take a look through the "Bills Mafia" Facebook group for some community posts that the guys can give their opinions on. It's nice to connect directly with other fans and see what's going through their heads. Speaking of connecting with fans, we have a fun way to give back to ou...

WE DID IT! Playoff Win Baby! No matter how bad 2020 was, we had the Bills to make us smile. We think we will win this week, but even if it ends before we get to the AFC Championship we will be happy with this crazy record breaking season. We love Josh Allen and the Bills! P.S. Sorry for the break in episodes, I (Jason) got Covid on Christmas Eve. I am pretty much over it now, just trying to be on the safe side so I am sitting this one out. Hopefully I will be back when we beat the Ravens! ...

All Eyes On Us

December 17, 2020 07:28 - 1 hour - 70.6 MB

There has always been doubters and naysayers when it comes to the Buffalo Bills, perhaps none more vocal than our own fanbase (and for good reason). This season we have watched hope come alive again, we have seen old fans rekindling memories of greatness past, and younger fans enjoying a Bills team they have never really seen before. To fans loyal and the fair-weather, experts who ignored us and those few who could feel the winds of change... The eyes of the Nation are watching. Enjoy the...
