If you thought the fanbase’s confidence in this team had reached rock bottom, the last week probably denuded you of that notion. Even the starriest-eyed fans and writers here are just plain tired of the Falcons at this point, and the Green Bay game somehow managed to be a new low in a season full of fresh ones.
Fittingly, the results of our weekly FanPulse survey bear that out. The percentage of fans polled who are confident in the direction of the team is, I kid you not, 7%. There are holdouts even in these dark days, though they’re down from 10% a week ago, and one presumes they’re either delighted with the prospect of a top draft pick or confident in the team’s direction going forward despite everything.
