The percentage of Falcons fans we poll a weekly basis who are willing to say they are confident in the direction of the team has been quite small for a very long time now. The last time over half of fans were feeling confident was following the Week 2 victory over the Eagles, when the Falcons appeared to have shaken off their Week 1 dud against the Vikings and righted the ship.
We now know that wasn’t the case. The Falcons went on to lose their next six games in a row, heading into the bye with a 1-7 record, and frankly could not have looked worse doing so.
