Only days after Rams fan confidence reached a season peak of 96%, the Thursday Night Football loss to the San Francisco 49ers had many L.A. faithful wary of their beliefs moving forward. In Week 6’s SB Nation Reacts poll asking fans if they are confident in the direction of the team, just 56% said that they were.
That’s a drop of 40% in one week!
So far this season, the fan confidence poll has yielded results of 95%, 94%, 94%, 84%, and 96%, staying above 80% for the entire season including after the blocked FG loss to the Eagles.
Does that loss to the Eagles need to be redefined though after Philadelphia’s most recent games? The Eagles have not looked like a dominant team, or even one of the NFC’s best teams, since beating the Rams. Perhaps that too would have an impact on next week’s poll after the Eagles lost to the Giants on Thursday.
Do you agree that confidence has to wane a bit after the loss or is this an overreaction to the 49ers playing a very solid game on a short week?
