So .500 ball was disappointing for a team that hoped to improve on its 9-7 mark from 2014. But beating the Jets twice, with the latter win bouncing Gang Green from the playoffs? Not bad. Tyrod Taylor came up big, as did the much-maligned defense. And let's get real here: Rex Ryan has taken much of the heat for that side of the ball's nosedive this season. But we should also not forget that it was his decision to go with Taylor. In that realm, the 2015 Bills had more upside than the previous year's team -- despite the worse record -- because of the Taylor gamble. Defense can win championships, but not with a lousy QB.
