Besides the song parodies and shirts cleverly designed to skirt the "sign police" at Ralph Wilson Stadium, Bills fans are reaching out through a multitude of platforms to express their frustration with head Coach Dick Jauron.
"We need a change and it's obvious," said Michael Kruse II, a life long Bills fans who after watching Sunday's debacle against the Cleveland Browns launched his own facebook page calling for the Jauron's ouster as coach.
But Kruse isn't alone in venting his frustration in this manner.
As of Monday night there were nearly 50 facebook pages with similar themes.
Other fans are reaching out to call for Jauron's firing via You Tube, and still others have
designed entire web sites devoted to the cause.
Firedickjauron.com has a poll which claims 96% of nearly 3,000 respondents want the coaches head, while firedicknow.com has 1,500 signatures on its on line petition and offers anti-Jauron shirts for sale.
Then there's Ryan Abshagen, a Bills fan who lives in New Freedom, Pennsylvania.
Abshagen is soliciting donations on his web site to place a billboard on Interstate 190 in Buffalo calling on team owner Ralph Wilson to fire both Jauron and General Manager Russ Brandon.
As of Monday evening visitors had pledged more than $300 toward the $1,200 cost of the billboard.
