and take away this team from Bidwill.

No effort has been made in the last 3 years to "seriously" improve this team.

- Youngest NFL team 3 years running. That's really sad in this day of free agency.

- Empty seats are an embarassment. The fan apathy is at an all-time low. Didn't you see and hear the "SEAHHHAWKS" chant??

The ineptitude by management to be in this "personnel" predicament is laughable.

Throwing out 2 rookie WR's is laughable.

Does he deserve a bright, new stadium? HELL NO!

Force Bidwill to sell.

Does anybody else know of a solution to get this team out of this mess?

My friends and I were discussing this earlier as well. The communist system the NFL runs does not make teams and owners like the Bidwills accountable. Yes the Cardinals make money, but for what? Having the least successful franchise in NFL history. Anyone who makes the argument that the Bidwills really want to win really needs their head checked.

Yeah, it's a pipe-dream. But, you know what?? Fans can force the league to take a serious look at the matter. And, perhaps force Billy Bidwill to get out his checkbook.

How much do you think a fan boycott would affect things? It's not like we're asking 72,000 to stay home on Sundays.

No fans = National publicity

National publicity = Changes

It's got to start somewhere.

Sly, I couldn't agree with you more. Something has to be done by the NFL, I just don't know what.

As much as I love the Cardinals, the powers that be should do something.

I can't begin to put into words the total misery, shock & embarassment I feel right now, dumbfounded.

Time out guys, he did do something.

The he has backed out of operations for his son and given RG real power.

Given our awful drafting over the last few years and change in the front office has to be an inprovement.

a walk out would be amazing - talking about civil disobedience - I mean hell - if we wait for the Bnegals game - there'll probably be only around 10,000 people we have to convince right?

Nidan,

Giving power to his son and RG will not change ANYTHING.

This franchise needs to be blown up and resurrected with fresh faces, fresh ideas, and a rejuvenated fan base.

Even Bidwill would have a hard time arguing with that.

And another thing.

This can be done.

If every one of us hard-core Arizona NFL fans would spend as much time trying to get something started, as we do wasting our ideas on a message board all day long...

then it's possible.

Everbody here cares. Getting people together is the hard part. We've already accomplished that!

I agree, I think it is a really good idea. Something needs to be done, and this would get plenty of attention.

I know this idea pains the fans from the Missouri and Chicago days, but why not change everything. From the name of the team, to the uniforms, everything...and start completely fresh?
This team needs a NEW identity! It wouldn't freakin' hurt!
