Confidence in your favorite football team is an ephemeral thing. Rams fans are suffering a massive loss of faith in their team at the moment, and the same thing can happen to any team with a couple of lackluster efforts.
Then there’s a team like the Falcons, who have been awful for so long that there’s nowhere to go but up. Very slightly up, as the Falcons fans we polled in our weekly FanPulse effort went from a robust 7% being confident in this team’s direction to 9% after Atlanta beat the brakes off of Arizona.
