In addition to 2007 and 2011, the Giants had appeared in the Super Bowl in 1990 and again in 2000.
The 49ers played in the 2012 Super Bowl before making it back again in 2019. They lost the NFC Championship 4 times in the 1990's. They also won the 1994 Super Bowl.
The Vikings made it to the 1998, 2000, and 2009 AFC Championship games.
I arbitrarily only went back 20 years but if I had gone further, this statement would be even more impactful:
Between Len Dawson and Mahomes, the Chiefs played in one conference championship game. ONE.
Of the teams you listed, only the Vikings really come close but even then, the Vikings fans at least had SOME evidence they had a punchers chance. Chiefs fans had literally nothing to give them hope. Nothing.

If you make the playoffs, you have a punchers chance.
Teams like the Jaguars, Lions, Browns, etc. haven’t.
They can’t even make the dance.
