Look, the fan base is on the list of reasons why this happened but there are tons of other reasons why outside of SOC or any organized frustrated fan movement movement.
1. Scott Pioli's W-L record
2. Scott Pioli's personnel decisions like leaving the club with no viable QB.
3. 2-14
4. No wins in the AFC Conference for the first time EVER
5. No sell outs and diminishing attendance
6. Merchandise sales bottoming out
7. Being the butt of many jokes and a complete embarrassment within the league and outside of the league.
Lots of reasons why this was going to happen whether or not SOC existed. They may have sped things up slightly but it has to do with $ and being embarrassed with the product on the field more than any banner flying in the sky.
