With 32 fan bases filling out weekly Reacts confidence surveys for several years now, it’s clear that those fan bases react — and often over-react — to wins and losses, with confidence rising after wins and falling after losses.
I was prepared, with the Commanders breaking their 4-game winning streak with a loss to the Ravens last Sunday, to see the confidence number this week fall precipitously. Instead, it held very steady, dropping only a single percentage point from 99% in Week 6 to 98% this week, returning to the level of Week 5 and staying above 90% for the 5th consecutive week (and 6th out of the full 7 weeks of the survey).
