No idea why this thread is narrowly focused on Allen v Brady. I don’t see the connection. Allen has NOT been common denominator of the Bills recent playoff failures. Either shift this ridiculous discussion or end the thread.

Close. The Union only funds enough Board members to give them a majority on the Board. The Union more or less ignores the other members.

I’ve never understood these articles and arguments. Anyone who’s ever run a professional service company (which education is) knows that pencils and paper are one of the smallest line items in the budget. The big money is spent on people and benefits. And in the case of public schools you can add the cost of funding lifetime pensions to the list of benefits. Choices are obviously being made LONG BEFORE anyone ever buys a pencil.

This! You have to be ‘in the moment’ at the moment. I attended two of the Bills Super Bowls and I remember both times saying how I couldn’t imagine how those guys played a football game with all of the hype and electricity in the air. The atmosphere isn’t like any other playoff game. And similarly the finality of the playoffs make them unlike any regular season game. It all comes down to preparation and execution in an environment that is pushing hard against both. To date, the Buffalo Bills have failed to discover the secret.

Agreed. The numbers that I simplified above probably give an indication of why Billy B stockpiled so many of them during the Patriots run. He understood that if you only have one pick in each of the later rounds you’re not going to get a single consistent starter out of that ENTIRE bunch but once every five years or so.

How is this a conspiracy? These people aren’t hired as whistleblowers AGAINST the agencies. They’re generally hired because they AGREE with the agencies. That doesn’t make them evil….it just makes them normal! The mistake is thinking that what they report is objective journalism.

You can say this with a whole lot of words or just simplify down to what I said above, which is that we’ve moved long past anyone carrying about these so called public servants siphoning off cash….in BOTH parties. Very few people care and nobody in the Washington does. It’s now become normal and expected. The mistake Trump made was to bring it up.

That’s a pretty neat summary. In short it says your chances of finding a consistent starter are: Round 1: Two out of three Round 2: 50:50 Round 3: One out of three Round 4: One out of four Round 5: One out of six Round 6 and 7: Good luck

Dammit! After waiting all day by the phone I never got a call.
