Having said that look at the Rams. They were in the same boat as us after last season - one and done home playoff loss. Sure they lucked out with the refs today but they got the players and coaches needed to field a defense that can get stops when needed. When has Sutton's D done that in crunch time? The OT Saints drive would have been a TD like clockwork against this Chiefs D.

I can agree that to get to, or win a Super Bowl you have to get some good breaks.
But an expansion team has been to 2 Super Bowls since our last appearance. Laughingstocks like the Cardinals, the Colts, the Bucs, and the original Cleveland Browns (now called the Ravens) have all been to a Super Bowl since 1969.
I don't want to waste Mahomes, because he may be the only superstar QB this franchise will ever have, but there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that the Chiefs are capable, as an organization, of identifying and eliminating roadblocks to getting to a Super Bowl, like poor coaching, bad drafting, poor free agent acquisitions, etc.
Am I feeling very negative because of the outcome of the game? Yes. Am I saying something that isn't true? No.
