Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bills fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s the holiday season, which, other than Christmas-themed music being played in every brick &amp; mortar you enter \u2014 it\u2019s also that point in the NFL season where postseason dreams become reality for just under half the teams in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Once again, the Buffalo Bills are playoff bound, having punched their ticket after watching the Indianapolis Colts lose to close out Week 16. At 11-4, the Bills still feel like they\u2019ve yet to play their best football \u2014 and with the postseason starting in a couple of weeks, the hope is One Bills Drive is focused on taking teams to their limits with their best football of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Despite Buffalo\u2019s overall success this season, a large contingency of Bills Mafia has been conflicted in their thoughts out the 2025 squad. All season, it\u2019s been clear that confidence in these polls if more likely to trend lower than not simply because everyone has the microscope out in looking to dissect and solve what ails the Bills. It\u2019s not about the immediate, nor the immediate future. Rather, it\u2019s about the postseason, which is now just over the horizon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bills fans need to see how the team performs in the postseason before they\u2019re willing to fully commit to the idea of Buffalo being headed in the right direction. It\u2019s understandable, but at the same time it also prevents some folks from seeing the important trees in the larger forest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Bills boast the NFL\u2019s top rushing attack and their passing defense is second overall in the league. Those are two great metrics to be at or near the top in, and they\u2019re made all the better when Josh Allen plays quarterback for the offense. As for running back James Cook III, he very well be the key to Buffalo getting over their AFC Championship Game roadblock. Cook leads the NFL in rushing yards, and he\u2019s turned into one of the team\u2019s key leaders on game days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So, are you still in \u201cwait &amp; see\u201d mode here regarding confidence in the direction of these Buffalo Bills?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL.
