Who?

Have the banner flown over his house.

Yeah, it sucks that the two events are tied together, but that's where social media comes into play. Make it viral ... focus on the 'warm and fuzzy' aspect of this movement.

Maybe take Cassell's name out of the mix ... focus on Pioli and the Management of the team. Don't make it personal to a player, maybe that was the unfortunate fatal flaw given what happened. If the QB doesn't get hurt, there's nothing here really from a negative perspective.

The FB page is a solid start... now, put fan created videos with a positive slant and put the messages out there. The team has their PR department and ways to get their 'fuzzy' messages out there, now you guys have yours ... it's social media.

Stay positive, focused and clear with the goals of your rants. I doubt that many truly believe that answer to the QB riddle is on the team right now, especially Quinn.

FYP

ROFL...that one got me. And now I feel bad.

awesome

what's an "ance" and why should I want to make a differ one?

Maybe the next banner could be LAMAR DESERVES BETTER

or

LAMAR HUNT WOULD BE EMBARRASSED

I guess markers don't come with spell check. Who knew?

FYP

educator fail? Is that the point her difference makes?

while this may get Clarks attention, Lamar fielded some extremely shitty teams for decades.

And he was so embarrassed by it, he fixed it, and the team wasn't embarrassed again for almost 20 years.

Now it's happening again.

How about "Take Winston with You!!!"

"chiefs-average since 1969"

Why doesn't the next banner just read : SAVE OUR CHIEFS - FIRE PIOLI

I love Lamar as much as the next guy, but Lamar would stay the course.

Clark must sell!

What? He stayed with Jim Schaaf forever until hiring Peterson.

Yes, and he was embarrassed by it, and fixed it.

That would be a good one... I wouldn't drag a Lamar reference into it.

how about we use our new negative publicity to our favor.

banner: KC CHIEFS EMBARRASSMENT LIVES W/ PIOLI.


Pioli's embarrassment of a team has led to the embarrassment of the fans that is directly going to embarrass the owner and the city.

"Do you remember going to games in the late 90's and early 00's? Remember feeling the rumble of the crowd in your chest? High fiving and hugging complete strangers? Being unable to talk to the person next to you on defensive 3rd downs? I hope that one day soon we get back to that. I would love to hear the fans cheer from start to finish again. I want 120 decibels of madness because there is not a single person that believes we can possibly loose the game."

wow capone! nicely worded. nicely done. for a second there....I think I had something in my eye.....sniff.
sigh....I DO remember. I want a lotta mo! I was there in 95 when Vanover returned a punt 86 yards in OT to win. the single most exciting sporting event I've ever attended. complete strangers leaping into each others arms. I caught some fat bastard in mid air and hugged him like I knew him. awesome. just friggin awesome.
used to be there was nothing like arrowhead. used to be.....

"We Want Winston to Pass Block For Pioli"

You would still still have 8 years of Pioli in front of you with Lamar at the helm.

Nick Athan bashes Banner. Defends Winston.

http://www.610sports.com/topic/play_...udioId=6069369

Impossible to say.

Different eras, different leagues, different socio-economic climates.

I can't think of anyone more irrelevant than Nick Athan.

LOL I agree.

I thought it was funny when he bashed the banner and then it got quiet for a moment, then Fescoe and the other guy defended it.

Here's a banner line Clark fix the problem, fire Pioli

'do our local media hacks seriously engage with Athan for his inside information?
Do they not realize he's no different than 99% of the fatties sitting on their couches?

You have nearly 2,300 "likes" on that Facebook page - that is pretty impressive. Pump it up louder... this is kinda cool to watch and I hope it works out for the best for you guys.

Anyone that doubts your intent here is crazy - I've been around this place for a while, and for most here - you're far from a lazy and uncaring fan base.

WINNER!!! LMAO

This movement is going to (I think it might already have) reach a tipping point where everyone involved just comes off poorly.

Like the guy in the office that is always bitching about stuff. He is usually right but at some point it doesnt matter if he is right nobody wants to hear it.

I think the "send a message" part of this was done and what can be done effectively has plateaued. Its just a lack of butts in seats now that will make change.

We havent reached the tipping point within one week. Booing Cassel set us back in the media coverage. We just need to focus the message on non-players.

I agree to a degree. But you just have to be creative to keep the message fresh so that it doesn't go stale.

And what about the rest of the donation money LMAO?

+1

It's ironic that this idiot started off saying how bad it was for cheering Cassel's injury and the waste of money for the "$1,800 Banner that should have gone to breast cancer" and then by the middle of the interview he tears into the team, the coaches, and the ownership just like all of us making our case!!! Says there is a total lack of leadership!

HAHAHA

You guys are absolutely up against diminishing returns here. Making a different or more nuanced message really won't do shit to change the needle.

I mean its your money and all so whatever.

Yep. Cassel isn't the problem at this point - he is the symptom to the problem. The problem is Pioli. ALL focus should be on that ass-wipe.

Fire Pioli - SaveOurChiefs.com

30 letters - Fits what we really want to say. I still thing doing one over Tampa should happen

Not bad and I think flying it over Tampa is a GREAT idea-keep the pressure on and bring in more media. :thumb:

"Pioli, You're doing it wrong"

ok, now I really did update the OP. Dunno wot happened there.

The format is slightly changed and info is now organized. everything leading up to the flight of the banner, and the flight itself, is withing the spoiler tag. Needed to file it away otherwise the OP would take 42 mouse scrolls just to get through.

For the next phase, I think the banner idea is great, but anything the movement can do to associate with something in a more "positive" light would be great, too. Like others have mentioned, maybe something for charity, a "roast" of the Chiefs, etc.

How about something on the banner about our voice being bigger than Piolis?

OR why is our GM worrying about what the fans say over the product on the field.

I know those are long, but ideas...

Yep. And in light of yesterday's events I would change the wording up just a bit. The fans are not getting a fair shake in this fall out but, we cannot control it. Yes we do still deserve better but, that message is going to look a little off with what is being grossly misreported in the media. So let's give them one of the reason's we deserve better. Something along the lines of -


Chiefs Fans Pay For Better - Fire Piloi

And perhaps speaking to Clark from a financial perspective will garner more attention from him. :shrug:

So he is not listening and should do what we say when we yell it at him.

AND

Why are you listening to the fans???


Hahaha. What?

A poll need to be put together with the ideas for the next banner, and we should vote on it.

IMO sending a banner over an away game would send an even bigger message. Repeatedly flying a banner over arrowhead is kind've beating a dead horse... the KC media already knows what we are up to and why.
Think about sending it over next weeks Monday night game and all of the media attention on a national level that would bring.

We are passionate enough to send a plane to another stadium in which we aren't even playing at to get our opinion heard.

KC Chiefs = Chicago Cubs
Clark, Scott: You're Embarassing Yourselves

The fans have rattled Pioli - Gum Wrappers Anyone

Eh, I think over other team's stadiums where we are playing is perfect. Flying at stadiums where we aren't would just look reeruned.

"Get Well Matt - Fire Pioli"

More OP Udated goodness:

Phase 2 -

We thought about flying a banner over Tampa but in the end, feel like it wouldn't do enough good. We are definitely going to fly another banner over Arrowhead but it will be on 10/28 against the Raiders. There are are few suggestions being tossed around. We have some time and I'll be making a poll to get ideas from CP. In the mean time, I wanted to give you an idea of what we have done so far donations and spending wise.

The cost of the banner was obvious... we all knew that was going to happen. We are also, unless anyone has any strong feelings against it, are going to spend $50 on ads on FB to drive attention to saveourchiefs.com.\

We have plenty of time to come up with the slogan for the next banner. There is one thing that must absolutely be on the banner and that is the saveourchiefs.com address that AustinChief provided us with. I am looking for suggestions, I know there are already 50k spread through this thread but I cannot go digging around for then. The only banner suggestions that will be considered are ones that end in saveourchiefs.com. The banner cannot exceed 42 characters, spaces not included. Any banners that either do not meet this criteria or suggest insulting or boorish behavior will not be included.

EXAMPLES:
PAY BOWE - DRAFT GENO - SAVEOURCHIEFS.COM
CLARK, R U A FAN OR NOT? - SAVEOURCHIEFS.COM

I have asked a small group of people to help sort through banner ideas since there will be eleventybillion ideas thown out. We are going to narrow it down to our top X favorite ideas, then let CP vote on it.

As for donations status and expenditures:

Expenditures:
Banner #1 - $625.00
Ads on FB - $50.00

Current PayPal balance - $1,600.71
Check from Whitlock - $600
Balance - $2,200.71 (will update OP when check clears)

PIOLI LIED, CASSEL DIED

The focus needs to be on Pioli.

I'd just keep it simple, "please fire pioli" followed by the url

Do like! That may eat Clark up.

You've got the three paragraphs above the spoilers on there twice.

EDIT: Never mind. Looks good. ;)

Pioli doesnt like fans, Why support? saveourchiefs.com

CURE CANCER FIRE PIOLI

EAT SHIT, CLARK - SAVEOURCHIEFS.COM

I have a sneaking suspicion that this one probably won't make the cut.

I really like your first example.

Did we ever find out the price of a billboard, is that way too expensive?

I'm not trying to be inciteful, but who is "we" in this instance? I think flying one over an away game shows we will go to great lengths to get our message heard. Is this the end of discussion on this point?

Fire Pioli - Winston STFU - SaveOurChiefs.com

Fire Pioli - Winston S.T.F.U. - SaveOurChiefs.com

WINSTON IS A MUSLIM - SAVEOURCHIEFS.COM

to add to my point, we have a bye after Tampa, should we not keep the fire stoked rather than let it possibly fade during the bye week?

This. The issue is not with the Cassel, it's with whose starting him.

I have asked a few people with specific interweb skills critical to making this happend to help. I am also taking advice from all the moderators on the board.

teedubya is a web marketing expert
Marty had already been running the saveourchiefs stuff on FB and Twitter
Wendler - because like him or not, the guy has a passion for this team and has the video editing skills

---

The goal is for this group to filter the information so that we can present you with easy options instead of having 300+ people weigh in and have information or ideas on hos this should go scattered all over the thread.

/great question

We are definitely keeping the fire stoked during the next 2 weeks.

That is why we are going to be running FB ads. There is also a video that is likely to be released during the bye. There is still Twitter and FB... and I'm on Reddit preaching the gospel.
