The Buccaneers fans are holding on to some kind of hope as we enter Week 6.

Following the Buccaneers 48-10 loss to Chicago in Week 4, the Tampa Bay fanbase has gained a bit more confidence heading into this week’s matchup against the 1-4 Falcons.

Below is the graphic for the confidence rating which shows the small jump.

Buccaneers FanPulse results for Week 6.

The confidence rating for Week 6 is up 7-percent. It’s not as close to where it was at the start of the season, but at least some are starting to hop back on the ship.

Atlanta fans, however, are taking things a bit harder. They’ve dropped in confidence since Week 3 and currently sit at a 19-percent confidence rating heading into Week 6.
