You're telling me we had no chance in those games?

I honestly feel like the point you just made only strengthens my argument. Those teams got lucky and had some success in the postseason without a premier QB. They just stacked their roster and hoped to get hot.. and they did.
Except I felt that way BEFORE the games actually happened. I wasn't operating with hindsight then. I just felt like the team wasn't good enough to win it all. The 2007 Giants fans just saw them play in a Super Bowl 7 years before, why wouldn't they think they could win it all?

I was born in 1973 and saw the Chiefs win exactly one playoff game since I was in college.

We're not talking fact here, we're talking feelings. I never felt like the Chiefs had a puncher's chance and they provided me with zero evidence to the contrary for almost 30 years.
