Well, the problem as I see it, the interesting part, isn't the total Super Bowls. Nobody can take the past six years away from the Chiefs. Their current dynasty is on par with 90s Cowboys - maybe even the 70s Steelers.
But BEFORE Mahomes, over the Broncos and Chiefs first five decades - first 48 years in the Big Leagues, in the NFL, the contrast between the two teams is enormous:

That was a long, looong desolation road for KC. Calling those 48 years a "drought" would be an insult to deserts everywhere.
Meanwhile the Broncos became an elite NFL Franchise. In those 48 years, the Broncos were featured in national TV telecasts more than any other team (largely because they were one of the few teams with home games in the late doubleheader window).
Second most SB appearances of any team - in fact, the Broncos, Patriots and Steelers together represented the AFC in more than half those Super Bowls - and the Broncos' Super Bowls were not all clumped together - they came in the Mid-late 70s, the Mid-late 80s, the Mid-late 90s, and the early-mid teens. All those eras but the 70s were MULTIPLE SB appearances.
Broncos were featured on MNF a record 44 straight years, had a Pro Bowl player a record 47 straight years, and hold the longest (and current) home sellout streak - there has never been an available seat for a Broncos NFL game after the Wednesday of a game week ever.
All these things add up. That, plus the desolation the Chiefs were going through for such a long looong time, THAT'S what's behind this thread. THAT'S what makes you guys so resentful.
