Rockpile Report Episode One Hundred Twenty Five
This team isn't for the faint of heart, so feel free to jump off the bandwagon at anytime. This week, we talk about all the people we got to meet this week, including those who are getting Drew head-first into rugby. You have no idea what you've done. Then we talk about Vontae Davis & why it doesn't bother Drew compared to a longstanding history of Bills quitters.  We also recap Sunday's matchup vs the Chargers, and finally figure out what OC's are doing to completley foil our defense. We close with what we're looking for improvement on in this Sundays game vs Minnesota - every game this season is going to present a new opportunity for this team to take steps towards their goal of building a consistent contender. We'll get to see what this staff and these players are made up, I'll tell ya that. @RockpileReport - Twitter RockpileReport716@gmail.com - E-mail www.WiseGuysBuffalo.com - The Official Pizzeria of the Rockpile Report Podcast @ChargeBFLO - The Official chariy of the Rockpile Report Podcast, the flag will fly at each of our tailgates @PanchoBilla1 - Twitter

Rockpile Report Episode One Hundred Twenty Four
This week we address a lot, including the fact that Drew wasn't the most riled up person about the Bills loss on Sunday. We recap the game (skip it if you're not in the mood for a realistic take on our performance) including our opinions on the OL, Defense & game planning. Then we host "The Lighting Round" podcast host & SB Nation writer Garrett Sisti to talk about our week 2 matchup against the LA Chargers and pinpoint where the Bills might have a shot at this thing. Folks, opening Sunday is a little like Xmas for me in the sense that I'm at the stadium before dawn, I'll be surrounded by people I care about & it gives me a chance to reflect on just how lucky I am to have the life I do. Feel free to join me, just look for the CHARGEBFLO flag in the Mud Lot off 20A, right next to Lot 1. Be loud & proud out there on Sunday! LET'S GO BUFFALO! @rockpilereport on twitter @garrettsisti on twitter @lightning_round on twitter (Lightning Round Podcast) @scoremorepod on twitter (Score More Podcast) @bftb_chargers on twitter (Bolts From The Blue SB Nation)
