PayDaBill$ Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Just spit ballin’…. Can we $h1tcan McD and make an offer for Ben Johnson in the offseason. JA’s an attractive commodity going to waste under this current regime. Much rather have an offensive mined younger HC. Thoughts…….

Success Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Every team that's looking for a coach wants Johnson. And we're not moving on from McD, unless this team really collapses. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PayDaBill$ Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) The way we’re playing and with the upcoming schedule I’m not looking for things to improve. A collapse is a distinct possibility. We’re wasting JA with coaches. I’d say we have a good nucleus with JA to make it attractive for someone like BJ.

Boatdrinks Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 They’re not changing anything in season short of an all out collapse. A new OC in the offseason is looking probable though. Not getting a guy that’s an HC candidate as OC though. Just now, PayDaBill$ said: I’d say we have a good nucleus with JA to make it attractive for someone like BJ.

I know I beat this drum all the time, but after 12 years of Sabres futility, the Pegula’s replacing any combination of McBean scare the shirt out of me. I wouldn’t be shocked if McD is retained but we get a DC and new OC. I do think it a proven NFL commodity like Jim Harbaugh becomes available, the Bills make a switch. I don’t think (hope?) the Bills make a change for the sake of change without being pretty buttoned up heading into the process. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Ben Johnson has a lot of the same problems that Dorsey has. His offense is Goff and St. Brown. St. Brown is getting around 12 catches a game while everyone else has less than 5. They're struggling to work Jameson Williams and Jamir Gibbs into the offense. Everyone loved Sam LaPorta, but he has not gotten the ball in the past two games at the same rate. If that was the Bills, you would be yelling about the scheme. I'm not saying that he's not a good OC, but you have to look at his offense with the same level of criticism as you do the Bills offense and Dorsey. 6 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 If I had to predict what will happen at this point is that Terry will give Beane and McDermott, the 2024 season. If they fail to improve next year, then both are probably on the hot seat and a house cleaning could take place. Terry needs a good product on the field with the new stadium on the way. With massive price increases coming and PSL fees I am sure Bills fans will want to spend their money on a losing product with HC that many no longer believe in. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the catch-22, he'll never hire anyone that's good enough to replace him. Hasn't happened yet. 4 minutes ago, FrenchConnection said: Ben Johnson has a lot of the same problems that Dorsey has.

What I'm saying is that I don't see Shanahan/McDaniel levels of offensive scheming with Detroit. What I see is a great OL that allows for a strong running game and a team with one WR in the passing game. If the Bills are making a change, I want one of those guys that can win with scheme. The BIlls should have fired McDermott after 13 seconds and hired Doug Pederson, but that's all water under the bridge now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the worries with Sean at the helm, but I am also scared of Terry making these decisions given the field of available candidates. Ben Johnson is clearly a top notch offensive mind, but we are far from having things fixed just by virtue of naming that guy head coach, and the room for decline is a LOT more spacious than the room for improvement with the Bills of the last 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 100% true. He has a really creative run scheme. But his offensive passing scheme is more about keeping it simple and leaning into what his players do well. I think this is encouraging for his future as a Head Coach though. Because understanding your players' strengths and designing a gameplan around them is part of the job.

Rc2catch Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Johnson has done a good job in Detroit. Hes also unproven. I’m not sold he’s this guaranteed success as a head coach some think. As a coordinator I respect his game, he will not give up the run game and that’s a trend that’s hurting the league right now imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 With the defensive injuries I think regardless if they lost every game McDermott would be back… Ben Johnson is going to want to be a head coach so that would be a sticking point. If you want a new offensive coordinator to take over you’re going to have to look for someone who would be available for the Bills. The guy who maybe looking to move up and might be perfect for this team is Brian Griese the QB coach in San Francisco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me not making the playoffs would potentially count as a collapse depending on the circumstances. But if Allen stays relatively healthy and we win less then 10 games and miss the playoffs I would call it a "collapse" from where we have been the last 4 seasons. In that situation I would support Pegula taking the very risky move of firing McD & Bean and placing the franchise under the control of offensive minded coaches & GM. We may only have peak Allen for 5 more years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I like Johnson but I don't think it makes sense to have Allen learn from scratch and switch to the WCO language when he's spent his entire career in the more-efficient Erhardt-Perkins language. I want an offensive HC but I think EP language is the way to go for Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
