Confidence of Giants fans is rising ... slowly

After the deodorant of a bye week followed by a victory over the equally downtrodden San Francisco 49ers, the confidence of New York Giants fans in the direction of the team has begun to creep back up.

Fifteen percent of fans who took part in our ‘FanPulse’ confidence survey voted that they have confidence in the direction of the team. That is up from just 8 percent following a Week 8 loss to the Washington Redskins that dropped the Giants to 1-7.

When the season began, 89 percent of our voters were confident in the Giants. So, there is a looooong way to go to rebuild that faith.

As bad as things seem, though, five fan bases across SB Nation’s network of NFL websites are showing even less confidence than Giants fans.

Cincy Jungle (Bengals) is also at 15 percent confidence. Mile High Report (Broncos) is at 8 percent, Bucs Nation (Buccaneers) and Pride of Detroit (Lions) are at 6 percent and Big Cat Country (Jaguars) and Gang Green Nation (Jets) are at a lowly 3 percent confidence.
