‘Fire Pioli, Bench Cassel’ Banner To Fly Over Arrowhead On Sunday

Found October 05, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Matt Cassel
TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs are owners of a 1-3 record, and all three of their losses have come by 13 points or more. Quarterback Matt Cassel has the 29th-best passer rating among starting quarterbacks in the NFL.

So the 2012 Chiefs season is not off to a great start, and fans, some more than others, are frustrated.

A group of the angrier fans, coming together through Chiefs website ChiefsPlanet.com, are hiring a plane to fly a banner over Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. The banner will read, "We deserve better. Fire Pioli, Bench Cassel."
