45 percent of Falcons fans believe we’ll see the team back in the Super Bowl within 5 years

Speaking from experience, it’s hard to maintain a sense of optimism as an Atlanta Falcons fan. But for some reason, that hasn’t stopped many fans from believing that the team can make a return trip to the Super Bowl within five years.

This week, we asked Falcons fans when y’all expect to see the team back in the Super Bowl, and a whopping 45 percent responded that they think that will happen within the next five years.

Twenty-nine percent of fans expect the next Super Bowl appearance for Atlanta to come in the next decade, 1 percent believe it will take longer than 10 years, and 15 percent believe it will never happen because the Falcons can’t have nice things. Look, I get it.

Let’s see what Falcons fans had to say about why they voted the way they did in this week’s survey.

Check back next week for a new survey, and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments!
