The Chiefs CAN lose. Sure. It is possible. The Eagles are good and present some challenges.
But the next team that beats the Chiefs in the playoffs by "running the ball" and "forcing turnovers" will be the first one to do it in the Mahomes era.
Fans here have heard, time and again, over the past half decade-plus from opposing fans like you, who cite regular season stats and DVOA and point differential, and their ability to dominate with the run and control the clock and be more efficient with their drives than the Chiefs. And who don't want to listen to anything but "oh gosh, you're right, the Chiefs ARE DOOMED and will have to get lucky!"
Want to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs? Your offense better be able to go blow-for-blow. That's the real way to do it.

One other thing that has been a trend with those other fanbases is that they are so convinced that they will win and win comfortably. To them it’s inconceivable that they could lose. Once it happens then all the excuses like field/script/rigged etc come out because of the aforementioned bias. I get it as New England used to be the same way. Biggest difference is that some of their success is tainted.
