For a team that notoriously has a softer, fair weather fan base, let me just say that I've never been more proud of the Faithful for taking this clown owner to task through relentless public humiliation and shame to inspire change for the better. While it would be incorrect and downright stupid to solely credit fan backlash for the firing of Tomsula, it definitely had an impact--whether significant or minor is up for debate. I, for one, think the banners, public outcry, etc had a pretty sizable impact and forced Jed's hand all the more, in fear he'd lose the entire fan base and even moreso, in fear that his shining Super Bowl moments on the national stage would be tarnished by fans in front of the media.
We still have to deal with him and Baalke running the show like boobs; we still have to somehow, someway get real football minds in the building despite totally inept leadership; we still have to build an utterly empty cupboard of a roster with talent...
But today was a bleak light at the end of a long tunnel. And the fans played a big part.
Cheers all around for the Faithful refusing to be stepped all over.

Thanks to the mods for unlocking this and sorry for being a persistent ball-breaker about it; I'm just truly ecstatic with the fan response to this year. Hell, Jed even mentioned it in the presser.
It's very hard to have voices heard and inspire change but the fan base banded together and put hard-earned money and effort into something that made an impact.
Never been prouder of this fan base than right now. That's how you get it done!
Onto 2016.

And to think some said the banners, social media criticisms, etc. were a waste of time and money.
