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.

I was just looking for an unbiased review of the plays presented an ones that you feel were executed correctly so we could compare.

I'm trying to deflect the perception of Smith's horrible showing this year into a positive direction. You mentioned that there were good plays and all clay does is show the bad.

So if we could get some good plays shown then it would be a successful deflection.

The Chiefs were never going to be an outstanding team unless you talked to the homers, but none of our homers compare to your pathetic ass.

I'm going to laugh when the Raiders miss the playoffs yet again this year, and you come back with the EXACT SAME empty shit next offseason.

"Huhr huhr Raiders putting a team together challenging Denver for division Chiefs suck last in the division i like jack off cows huhr duhr"

Oh bullshit. All I've heard from you morons on here is that KC has a floor of 12-4. You guys are full of shit that I say Oakland is going to win the division every year. This is the first year I have said they will make the playoffs in a long time. Enjoy Smith, Dorsey and the fatman. They keep your stadium filled with mediocrity.

I've been reading some articles and comments at Arrowheadpride the past couple days. Even those guys are ready to strangle Alex and Andy.

The worm is turning.

A road trip to the west coast to face a red-hot Raiders team is just what we need.

At what point do you feel it's a necessity for the Chiefs coaches and front office to accept fault for not finding a franchise QB? When do the Chiefs get one?

The Kansas City Chiefs ceiling should be lowered

If we lose 3-4 more games in a row with the offense looking like it has all season the foles drum is gonna get louder and louder and rightfully so we know what we have in Alex and it's not good enough.

I must admit that I too thought it was interesting after the last game how people started getting honest about the Jets game, the massive turnovers, and the very few points that came off of those many turnovers.

It was a sign that people are getting a little more vocal about short comings.
