Is This Level Of Confidence From Cowboys Fans On Target?

This has been a rough season for the fans of the Dallas Cowboys. No secret there.

The Cowboys fan base came into the season pretty optimistic. The team had a good offseason with key player personnel pickups, coaching changes, and a surprisingly, for the Cowboys organization, drama-free offseason. With a new defensive scheme under wonderkid Christian Parker, and a holdover offense that was really good the previous season – it was all set up.

In fact, fans had a confidence level of close to 90% (see chart below) when the season began. That lasted all of one week. You can see in the chart below that confidence went up and down with the wins and losses in the early part of the season. But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss seemed to break the fan base as confidence never really recovered to over 25% (see below).

Confidence in the direction of the team sits at 11% for this week. But here’s the thing. The Cowboys are actually 4-5 on the season, not the worst record in the league. They are still, somewhat, still in playoff contention. The NFC East is still within reach (see second poll answers below).

So is that 11% confidence level too low? What’s your call, BTB? Let us know your opinion in the comments below.

We also asked you last week if the Cowboys could realistically win the NFC East. Despite being in second place, only 35% of fans thought that the Cowboys could get it done and make the playoffs.

If they are going to do it, a win on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers would certainly help. Dallas are currently 4.5-point underdogs to the 49ers.
