    Question for Anti-billboard People

    What would you suggest the fans do to show their dissatisfaction for the way this team is being run right now? Or are saying we should just keep taking it in the ass and be happy we have a team at all?

    We as fans have been vocal on a small scale but mostly complacent with the direction of this franchise with hope that something will finally click. IT HASN'T FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS! That isn't working, and I think this billboard is the next step.

    maybe the billboard should mention our 10 years of waiting then, instead of JUST focusing all its attention on Dick

      I say we do nothing, because that's what we've done for 10 years and I like how far that's gotten us.

          How bout you walk out of the stadium, or wear paper bags, or dont go AT ALL. Putting up a Billboard to humiliate someone is freaking stupid. ITS FOOTBALL! He's not a criminal.

          You have a right to buy tickets and you have a right not to. If you dont like it DONT BUY TICKETS.

          The Billboard is out of line.

            If you're against the billboard (which isn't a bad idea if you have the cash for it) the best way to do it is to stop showing up to the games, quit buying merchandise, just quit caring. Hit the old fart where it matters.

              While the billboard goes after a nice guy in a tasteless manner, it does show that we care about the team. we've shown up to make sure they don't have a case to move the team. We just don't want to be bad anymore, it's tiring.

              The billboard shows, "those fans want a winner. They have every right to not show up to games, but they want that team where it is and they want a winner."

                How does this humiliate him anymore than his team playing terrible on national television. Not to mention the humilation of having to take questions like "do you think you should still be coaching the Buffalo Bills?". If he isn't already humiliated this isn't going to do much more.

                  So because yer too afraid to lose the team you still put money in Ralph Wilson's pocket and opt to do the immature and tasteless act of humiliating the coach of a weak team.

                  Its cowardly. If you want to make a statement, do it the right way or don't do it.

                      This is a whole new level of humiliation.

                      Problem with most people is, they never put themselves in other people's shoes before acting.

                      DJ probably works as hard as any coach in the league, but when your team is consistently out classed on Sunday's what can you do? We have bad players in key positions and a cheap owner.

                      Like I said, don't be the asses of the league and contribute to this immaturity. Just dont give yer hard earned money to this owner.

                        The franchise does him no favors either getting rid of guys like Fletcher, Peters, Dockery, etc... who have all gone on to have excellent seasons elsewhere.

                          That would be great and all if we weren't facing the possibility of MOVING.

                            If its going to happen its going to happen, there's not a single thing you can do about it.

                              I think the Billboard is directed at Ralph more than Jauron. Jauron has 9 million reasons not to worry about a billboard.

                              I was happy that the ring ceremony didn't happen because having 70,000 fans booing a guy that just got in the HOF is a losing scenario for Buffalo and the fans.

                              However, a billboard is pretty benign but drives the point home that enough is enough.

                              Jauron could have resigned. he didn't and took the check. Take the heat that goes with it.
