Does anyone else find it a bit concerning

[Mecca]

That in multiple Super Bowls the Chiefs seem to come out extremely flat? They seem to really struggle to match the other teams energy level, especially early in these games. Last night they looked like they literally had no hype at all, like what is that?

So everyone in the AFC is investing heavily in offense and just trying to get by on defense. In the NFC teams don't have to worry about a singular elite guy so they draft in a more balanced way. Just look at the last two drafts in the first and second round tells you all you need to know:

AFC - 21 defensive players (9 first rounders)
NFC - 37 defensive players (16 first rounders)

So it's not surprising the AFC can't do it, they don't invest enough capital to try and make it work.

The 2023 Ravens had the #1 Defense in the league. We were told before the AFC title game that the 2023 Ravens defense was one of the best defenses of the previous 30 years. They did a pretty good job overall in that game, holding the Chiefs to 17 points. Unfortunately for them, the Ravens offense crapped the bed with only 10 points.

The offense comes out flat in these games. We all knew eventually we wouldn't be able to make a comeback. Itd sure be nice to be the team that completely dominates an entire game for once. Seems like we never put a total 4 quarters together. I know complaining how we win is kind of dumb. A win is a win. Still...
