Take the 90s Bills for example. They’re constantly ridiculed and portrayed as the Washington Generals because they lost 4 straight Super Bowls.

They wouldn’t get nearly as much shit if they had lost two Super Bowls and lost twice in the divisional round during that stretch.

Yep, it’s very stupid. Jim Kelly’s Buffalo teams showed a lot of resilience and courage to keep winning conference titles despite the Super Bowl losses. A lot of teams fall apart after one Super Bowl loss, never mind two in a row.
Earliest Playoff loss for Mahomes is Overtime of the Conference Title game. That is 7 straight years of really deep runs in the Playoffs. Very hard to do that. They’ve found a way to be a Top 4 team every year regardless of adversity.
