Buffalo FAMBase - BillsMafia Podcast Network

In this live episode, Rob & DT discuss the sobering loss to our AFCE rival New England Patriots last week 29-26. Plenty of blame can be assigned after a missed opportunity to take ahold of the division early in the season. The fellas then turn the page to preview our Bills' MNF matchup in LA against the Rams.

What kind of defense was that? Is it time to officially sound the alarm on Jim Leonhard's new defense?

Despite the defensive struggles, Josh Allen and the offense had a chance to win/tie the game with the ball and all 3 timeouts with around 1:12 remaining. Rob reminds Bills Mafia that it is ok to acknowledge when 17 messes up as it doesn't make you an ungrateful fan.

Our Bills travel to LA to face off against the Rams on Monday Night Football as the opponents don't get any easier.

In this live episode, Rob & DT are back to breakdown our beloved Bills' sloppy win over the LA Chargers last week 24-16 before previewing the first AFCE matchup of the season against the hated NE Patriots this Sunday @1pm.

What the heck happened to the offense on Sunday? The fellas both have their opinions on why, but both agree that 5 TO's in a game is not a sustainable winning formula.

Just like last week, the Bills face a QB who is clearly struggling as Drake Maye looks worse than even Justin Herbert recently. What has been the culprit for his decline to start the '26 season?

Rob & DT breakdown their plans for the weekend ahead of Sunday's matchup and as always, bachelor DT's plans are way cooler than Dad Rob's. LOL. Regardless, they'll both be locked in by 1pm Sunday with DT possibly sneaking into the new stadium.

In this episode, Rob & DT breakdown the wild start to the '26 Buffalo Bills season as our beloved Bills won on the road in HOU 36-31 and then followed that up with a 41-31 victory to open the new stadium last night. What a crazy 5 days it has been.

The monkey is officially off of 17's back as the Bills went down to HOU and took care of business in a back and forth affair. Eight lead changes let to a wild game, and it was actually the defense that showed up to close it late in the 4th QTR.

Bills Mafia couldn't have scripted a better beginning for the home opener as the Bills christened the new Highmark Stadium with a 41-31 win, and it wasn't really that close.

There is a new vibe around 1 Bills Drive and the fellas discuss what could be the catalyst for it and if it continues when hard times eventually do come this season?

What are the major concerns for the defense after 2 games?

Rob & DT give their reviews of the last two games and how they consumed them. It's been a family event for both games for Rob, as DT has been all over WNY these last two weeks spreading Bills cheer.

In this episode, Rob & DT are amped up on the eve of the '26 Bills season and are joined by Rico of Buffalo Fanatics to breakdown this pivotal matchup against the Texans down in Houston. Can our beloved Bills finally shake this pesky Texans problem we have?

Does past performance predict future results? The fellas disagree off the bat which leads to some interesting debates.

Finally, the fellas wrap the show discussing what a W versus a L means for the '26 season itself going forward. Rob is adamant that everything would still be on the table should the Bills lose again in HOU, while Rico argues that that couldn't be further from the truth, as DT is right down the middle but eventually leans Rico's way. Lol.

Rico give his plans for Sunday across the border in Canada. Rob is getting ready for his oldest son's 15th birthday on Sunday. DT is heading back to his old stomping grounds for an all day football fest & feast.

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? 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.

The fellas discuss their plans for the W1 opener in HOU as the 2026 NFL season is rapidly upon us.

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?

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!

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.

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?

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
