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.

So when video is posted every week, on 5-8+ different plays where THIS EXACT ISSUE rears it's ugly head again, I'd say it's pretty relevant.

Those plays are a direct representation of his play as a whole over 4 years - because we keep seeing them posted OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Good grief.

You were talking about gifs over the last 4 years. Over that time Alex Smith has made some good plays and some bad plays. You would have to agree, right? Have you ever seen Clay post a gif of a good play? Even once? This is what I mean by cherry picking and out of context, concepts you clearly can't understand.

And you called me stupid?

How did he play the rest of that game?

Clay is one of My least favorite people here but even I can say he's posted positive plays from alex. Mainly because he's trying to stick around but he has nonetheless.

I'd say 10-6, but if the OL can get above bottom tier, and Houston returns to be effective? yeah, maybe more than 10.

It's funny, you've said this before but those shitty offensive linemen are ranked higher at their positions than Alex Smith is at his...

Of course he does. And he achieves it over and over because he's in some your heads so much he should be paying rent.

Clay is a Chiefs fan just like the rest of us, he's just tired of the 1969--to-now status quo of cautious moves and excuses for the law of averages got SB appearances being defied. Yet owners like Denver's, GM like Elway, and cities like Denver can't seem to fail.

Basically you're the kind of guy who orders a steak, gets served a pile of dogshit and eats it.

Sooner or later, you will realize this, just like the rest of us.

You can always go to a different steak house, but instead you keep going back and bitching loudly about how bad the steaks are so you can ruin it for the other people there.

You can talk all the smack and wish all the injuries that you want. I have been right about your pathetic mediocre team and telling you guys that Raiders are much improved. You guys are just too pathetic to be honest about anything even though you know in your heart what I have been saying is true.

Enjoy many more years of the fat man and the Smith/Foles of the world.

PS what a dork you are.
