How does that perception change had they won the WS in 2014 and then lost in the WS in 2015? In hindsight, it's easy to say we would have loved each playoff run equally, but losing game 7 in 2014 didn't get me down in the slightest (and I was there, on the 3rd base side watching the pop up in front of that dugout come down)..... but, if they had won in '14, losing in '15 would probably sting a bit?

Same for the Chiefs.... how does the perception change if the Chiefs lost in in the AFCCG, then lost in the SB last year, then won the SB this year (vs Brady or not)?

Less hype surrounding the Chiefs and Mahomes, a little more pressure to win it all and the whole "can Mahomes get it done this year" thing... but, then both losses become "part of the journey" and the win is "that much sweeter".

The dumb narratives change, even if the results are just in a different order and don't mean anything at all.
