Because having to win 2 games to win a Title, with the Title Game being in your own backyard in one instance is NOT the same as having to win 10 totals games over 3 years with a Title Game being set in a neutral location where neither team likely has a decided advantage over the other, unlike the Packers setup nearly 60 years ago.

Good points, I agree for sure.
They're basically the same points I make when posting our teams' H2H in NFL games only, and the other statistical analysis, that since we joined the NFL ... all the way 48 years to Mahomes' first being named starter, Chiefs won just FOUR playoff games. 4 in 48 years. And two were in 1993 with Joe Montana at quarterback.
After being yelled at, insulted and getting my ass kicked for a week in this thread, I pointed out that in those same 48, the Broncos went EIGHT Super Bowls in four separate eras - Mid-late 70s, mid-late 80s, late 90s and early-mid Teens. Set records in MNF appearances, Pro Bowls, All-time record home sellouts, nationally televised games, 10 AFCCGs (the two we lost were in more eras - early 90s, mid 00s), and much much more. My theory then, and now, is the out-sized Broncos hate in this thread is based on all those years looking up.
