No "committee," just my opinion. Despite the Chiefs' great win in SB IV, which proved the AFL cream measured up, the rest of the two leagues were woefully mis-matched at the start. League inter-play was an eye-opener for everybody ...okay, here you go:
AFL/AFC teams win % .313 and .400 vs NFL/NFC first two seasons, after which AFC caught up .513, .500, .575...

Yes, you said that "you" don't count AFL accomplishments. I already quoted your post saying exactly that.
Again...if you're counting them, why would you start your comparison in 1970? Makes zero sense.
The AFL/AFC went 2-2 in the first 4 SBs, including a dominant win for KC in SB 4. Then the AFC went on to win 9 of the next 11 SBs. The only AFC teams to lose in the SB during that stretch were the Broncos and Dolphins. If there were a "minor league" period for the AFC, it started in the 80s. From '82 to '97, the NFC won FIFTEEN of 16 SBs. The Broncos are all too familiar, as they lost their first four SBs by an average of almost 30 pts. This is what you call graduating to the "major leagues?"
Your argument makes no sense. You could make a great case that the Broncos were a minor league team for a very long time, but the AFL/AFC as a whole? Not so much.
You guys are really desperate to have something on the ol' Chiefs. But you're definitely not obsessed or anything.
