Buffalo Bills

The Bills enter 2017 with first year Head Coach Sean McDermott. McDermott had been the Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator for the last six seasons. The Bills finished 7-9 this season and missed the playoffs for the 17th consecutive year.

Buffalo has a great running back tandem of Lasean McCoy and Mike Gillislee. Tyrod Taylor has proven to be an adequate but inconsistent Quarterback. He has been give plenty of opportunity to show he’s their Quarterback of the future.

Taylor finished 2016 with 3,023 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions in 15 games. The Bills were 7-8 in his 15 starts and he is 14-14 in two years as a starter.

E.J. Manuel was a second round pick from Florida State in 2013 and is just 6-11 as a starter in his career. The Bills also have rookie Cardale Jones from Ohio State who was 6-11 for 96 yards with an interception this season.

The Bills offense finished tenth in scoring and led the league in rushing in 2016, but their passing game needs a significant upgrade. They finished 30th in yards and last in passing attempts in 2016.

They have a pair of good receivers in Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods and have former Dolphins Charles Clay at Tight End. Watkins is an elite receiver, but has battled injuries the last two seasons. He missed three games in 2015 and eight this season.

The Bills defense was not as good this season as it had been in past years. They finished 16th in points allowed and were in the bottom against the run by any measure.

Kaaya would be a significant upgrade at the position.
