    I hate to say this, but...

    We'd all love to say, "See, I told ya so!", let JP be JP! But it seems to me that Jauron and Fairchild actually knew what they were doing by keeping the reigns on him for quite some time, and then only allowing him to open it up against these guys in this game. If they used that gameplan against the Colts, for instance, Losman would have been killed. Don't over-react, the OL still stinks. Perhaps they took a sizable step this week which will help with their confidence in themselves and each other but this was the game to do it, and they did it. Indy was not, regardless of the stats. Look at the time Losman had in the Indy game. He never would have gotten those balls off the Evans in the first place.

     

    The team won the GB game by limiting the mistakes and hoping JP could come up with one big play to win. They did it and it turned out well. It may have been luck but that was clearly the gameplan and clearly it worked because of the win. Against Indy, a team everyone thought they would get blown out by, and should have, it worked again. It looked bad, it was frustrating to watch, but they kept the team in the game. That was a game they could have stolen at the end. It was, again, clearly the gameplan and it failed  that time but almost worked. And again, if they used the Texans gameplan in the Indy game, I think we lose by 23.

     

    So I think we have to give them some credit. I think PERHAPS they know what they're doing with JP. And I predict that they take a step back this week, and don't let him air it out, but this week the gameplan will be somewhere in between Indy's and the Texans. It's also probably better for JP in the long run to make him into a well rounded player like they have been doing.

    Good post. I had some similar thoughts. I watched old Mark Brunell of the 'Skins look all world against the Texans, now he is benched. Like the frontpage survey says, this is a great step forward, but people are still guarded on JP's development. I will leave that debate to other threads.

     

    I think this was a great win and great confidence builder for JP and the team. I look for the Bills to be more balanced in their game plan of mixing run/pass for next week. you said it all here..."It's also probably better for JP in the long run to make him into a well rounded player like they have been doing."

    I dont care about his numbers.....my hat goes

    Kudos for being a game MANAGER today.....

     

    Our defense was dominating.....he didn't throw the game turning pick....he threw the ball away when he needed to.....he threw one td and COULD have thrown 2 more.....

     

    JPL was solid....against a good defense in their den.....he is learning how to win.

     

    Cant wait to see him next week.

    Well Coached Team

    The execution of the game plan and the in-game adjustments by this staff are things we haven't seen around here in a while.

    I have to agree with you 100%. It is really fun watching our young team grow. It is also great to see players like Josh Reed and Denney making more plays.

    KFFL updates on Bates, Jauron to lean on Fairchild

    Bills | Jauron to lean on Fairchild

    Thu, 26 Jan 2006 14:48:28 -0800

     

    Leo Roth, of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, reports Buffalo Bills head coach Dick Jauron's background is on defense, so he will have to count on new offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild to help rebuild the Bills' offense. Buffalo was 28th in the league in offense during 2005 and was ranked 29th in passing. During Fairchild's tenure with the St. Louis Rams, the Rams ranked No. 3, 5 and 4 in passing yardage.

    (OT) Advice on trees/bushes for a property divide

    Yeah, that sounds like a plan.  Do you plant the trees right on the property line or should you leave a space? 

     

    Is this the tree?  I didn't know you could order trees online.

    Yes, this is the one. The description on the link you listed tells it all- "This evergreen tree prefers a deep well drained site. When established it can stand considerable heat and drought. It is one of the most popular of all trees for windbreaks and year around privacy screening. It may be sheared and shaped to fit into most every landscaping need."

     

    I am not sure about where to plant them on the property line. The surveyor or someone from local residential zoning could answer this question.

     

    I planted the trees on my side of an existing fence. This is how I went. Hope this helps. Good luck!!

    I hope this helps. Arbrovitae (sp?) work great - they are green all year long. You can trim them like a hedge and theylook great. We have renters on one side of our property (nothing against them, but the landlord does not keep up the property) and I planted 10 of these this spring along the property line. I would get the survey of the property first too so there is no problems later on.
