I'm not saying EVERYTHING has to go your way, but you have to be pretty consistently lucky in the playoffs to make it all the way.
Our 2019 SB run was pretty damn lucky. We got the first round bye in the 11th hour thanks to Fitzmagic, got to face the Texans, Titans, and 49ers when we could've had to deal with the 14-2 Ravens in Baltimore, and then Aaron Rodgers in the Super Bowl. No injuries, no special teams BS, no bad penalties, team was firing on all cylinders. If you look at the other 3 trips to the AFCCG and the other trip to the SB, we were unlucky in one department or more and it played a large part in us losing.
It sucks to say luck plays that much of a role, but thats the nature of the beast in single elimination. All you can do put your team in the best position to succeed once you get to the playoffs.
Once you're there, anything can happen.

We would’ve destroyed the Packers in Super Bowl 54
The 49ers arguably had the most talented roster in the NFL minus QB. They were dominant (13-3, and defeated the Vikings and Packers 27-10 and 37-20). If we didn’t comeback, the 2019 49ers would be seen as one of the most dominant NFL teams post salary cap, up there with the 2013 Seahawk and 2004 Patriots.
Still the best team Mahomes has ever faced
