3. 2-14
4. No wins in the AFC Conference for the first time EVER
5. No sell outs and diminishing attendance
6. Merchandise sells 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.

I will agree with all of those points, but you can't deny that having most of your fanbase rebelling against your team, is also considered a precursor to what happened.
