The Buffalo Bills seem to have built a talented team around quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Head Coach Rex Ryan just hopes that all these pieces will fall in place for the Bills to make a playoff run.  The team from Western New York hasn't seen a playoff game since 1999. They hope to build off the 2015 season where the Bills placed 3rd in the AFC East and 8-8 record.  Buffalo beat the Jets in the final game of the season to keep the Jets out of the playoffs.

Taylor has some solid weapons around him to help the Bills make a push to possibly making the playoffs.  Sammy Watkins will be hoping to build off of his 2015 season.  Watkins had 1,047 yards receiving and nine touchdowns.  LeSean McCoy hopes to have a better season than he did in 2015 as well.  McCoy only rushed for 895 yards for just three touchdowns.  They will need more out of him this year, however, the Bills also signed Reggie Bush to help carry the ball as well.

Rex Ryan has always been a very defensive minded coach and the Bills defense haven't proven that. In 2015 they were 19th on defense against the pass will not help Buffalo out when it comes to winning a game in today's NFL. The Bills are also 16th against the run and that's just not going to help the Bills become a team worth watching out for.  These are things that will need to be fixed if they want to make a solid playoff push in 2016.
