Chiefs Propaganda: EVERYTHING IS FINE, SITUATION NORMAL

Perception can often be clouded in the interim by the emotions of the moment, and after the Kansas City Chiefs 43-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, head coach Andy Reid took a step back on Monday while speaking with the local media at the University of Kansas Hospital Training Complex.

“We’re 2-2,” Reid explained. “It’s not the end of the world, even though it feels that way. That’s how things are in the National Football League. We’ve got a week to step back, analyze and fix some of these issues.”

If there’s a team that knows a thing or two about putting things behind them and moving forward, it’s this Chiefs team, which overcame a 1-5 start a year ago to rattle off 10 straight regular season victories to make the playoffs, then winning their first playoff game in more than two decades.

But all-time win streaks shouldn’t have to be the plan every year to overcome a slow first quarter of the season. At 2-2, the Chiefs can use Sunday as a teachable moment and find something positive in it moving forward.

While it may seem obvious, one bad loss doesn’t mean the goals for this team are now unattainable.

Over the past six years, 31 of the 72 playoff teams had a game in their respective seasons that they lost by 25 or more points, and that also includes three of the last six Super Bowl winners.

Those 72 playoff teams had an average worst defeat that year of 20 points, so it’s not uncommon for successful teams to have a bad game. The Chiefs just need to make sure it’s an outlier.

“We have a bunch of fighters here, we just have to look into the mirror and realize we did not come to play (on Sunday),” veteran Tamba Hali said after the game. “When we play together, we do well. When we do not play well and make mistakes like we did (against the Steelers), that is the result. That’s a good team we played today. They win Super Bowls here.

“For us to take that step, we have to beat a few teams like [the Steelers].”

“You learn a lot about yourself when you get your butt kicked,” veteran Derrick Johnson added after the game. “The best thing about it is it counts as one game. It does not put a damper on the season, and it does not set us into panic mode.

“We’ll learn a lot about our team’s character after something like this. We were tested and we’ll have to see if we can rise up to the challenge.”

It’s a locker room that’s been tested before and come out on the right end of it, and while the sting of a nationally televised loss is still fresh in the minds of the players, coaches and fans, the truth is there are 12 regular-season games left and the next game is against their division rival in the Oakland Raiders.

Reid’s message to his team after the game was pretty simple.

“When you’re a good football team, or you’re perceived to be a good football team, you’ve got to learn how to control yourself, play better and not let emotions get the best of you,” Reid explained.”Our guys busted their tails and tried hard. We’ve got to learn how to control those emotions.

“It’s fully on my plate and my responsibility to make sure our guys understand that, and they will because that’s the type of locker room we have.”

We learned last year never to count out the Chiefs, so while the loss stings and shouldn’t be discarded or forgotten, the fact is it took them until Week 7 of last year to pick up their second win of the season. It’s a perspective that’s hard to see when the emotions of what could have been on Sunday night were quickly tossed to the side because of a slow start.

“If we’re all pulling in the same direction, we’ll be a pretty good football team,” Reid concluded.

Interesting to see that your acute football wisdom focused on Smith only. The entire team go bushwhacked on Sunday.

By the way, why didn't you state this nonsense when Smith and the Chiefs wacked Houston last year 30-0? If you are man of principal, you should have stated all this then. But no, you did not. So we know what you are.

Oh **** off. Everyone can see the deficiencies this team has. The big, giant, gaping, staring-you-right-in-the-face deficiency is at QB. And I have stated my opinion on Smith several times, I just usually don't beat a dead horse. You act like beating a shitty Houston team in the playoffs is supposed to be some pinnacle of football prowess. It was good to finally break the playoff curse, but everyone knew that's where it was going to end. And it did, in excruciating fashion as we ran our 12-minute hurry-up offense.

I'm a fan of this team and I root for them to win, even when I hate the QB. But **** me I'm tired of shitty QB play. I'm tired of shitty play from other positions as well, but QB is the most important position on the field and we continually trot out a sub-par performance. And assswipes like you lick it up along with the BBQ sauce from your burnt ends and pretend like you know something about football.

The Chiefs have played 4 games this year.

Other than 17 points off of jets turnovers (7 were from a defensive td) , the Chiefs have not scored a single td in the first half. With the jets game, the offense is averaging 4 first half points. Without, they're averaging 2 points.

The defense has been off and on. But the offense has consistently been bad to the point of incompetent in the first half. Seems a combo of coaching and execution. But the first part is acknowledging its not just a little problem. This is a huge issue.

I am with you and so is 98% of the fan base. This franchise never hires a person that wants to home grow a QB. I can't understand why Dorsey is sitting back letting Andy roll Smith out there after our bye week. Foles should get a chance because Smith is not doing shit right at all. He will blow ass in Oakland and then the booing will reign down all over Arrowhead against the Saints when he looks like shit in that game as well.

There is simply no reason to keep starting him. We are not trying to develop him and he certainly has not earned the benefit of a doubt to let him keep going from past performances. He is no better than he was last year but this year the defense can't cover for his screw ups.

Andy runs this ship for the most part. He made the decision to get Alex before Dorsey even interviewed.

Follow the trail; softly, with a careful ear and be mindful of the times we find ourselves in, seek the truth of beauty, carefully, not to disturb the structure around us.

KC has had a decade of QB play that has featured maybe three seasons of above average caliber performance in that span.

Clearly evident that they never ever played high school or college sports. Hell, I would bet most of them would not know how to put on a jock strap.

You can't win all the games. We destroyed NE at home the year they won a SB.

We will bounce back...and the whining drama queens will go to back to their safe spots....waiting for the next opportunity to show us how smart they truly are.

They don't really need a jock strap, they need a tampon.

He won't do that at Oakland or especially against the Saints. Your hate for him is blinding you.

He had a few good ones that clearly showed Alex's inability to make reads downfield.

Clay is a smart guy being a troll for fun. You and his other minions that think he is serious are just idiots.
