And then we'd thump our chest at Patriots fans, they'd laugh at us, and we'd call them arrogant assholes. Well... now we're the arrogant assholes. They simply don't have the long-view perspective that we can afford with Mahomes, where we've already won two Super Bowls, we're confident there will be more, so one season isn't the end of the world. Like you said, this is everything to them... their once in a decade shot to make it to the Super Bowl without having to go through multiples between Burrow, Allen, and Mahomes.

Based on what exactly? A few regular season stats from this year? Your QB's losing playoff record? Mahomes complete dominance of this conference and the insane imbalance of playoff experience between the two? Is it the fact that our defenses are almost identical in all areas that matter?

There’s a difference between “knocking” and providing context to “look how many 10-win teams they beat!” BTW, the Jags didn’t win 10 games. I credited the Lions and 49ers wins as impressive wins. Beating the Browns with Dorian Thompson-Robinson at QB? Nope. The Texans in CJ Stroud’s first start, and then without 2/3 of their WR starters? Not really. There’s always context involved. And sometimes stats don’t tell the whole story, especially in samples as small as a single NFL season. The Ravens have had a great year and are a great team. If they beat the Chiefs, they will win the Super Bowl having the best record in the league and having head-to-head wins against every member of the conference championship weekend. It would stamp them as one of the best teams in recent NFL history. We’ll see what happens. Confidence from the Chiefs end stems from: 1) an excellent defense that performed within fractional points of the Ravens immovable force D 2) an offense that consistently moved the ball but was held back by penalties and drops 3) having Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, who have put the blowtorch to top defenses repeatedly during their time together, even when numbers like DVOA indicated they can’t/should not. 4) styles making fights. The chiefs defensive style and personnel is the style and personnel that gives you the best chance against the Ravens offense. The Chiefs have an offensive mastermind and elite-elite QB who perform extremely well against blitzing, zone-heavy defenses. And 5) this is our board. If you can’t read confidence from the Chiefs fans and critiques of your own team, maybe this isn’t for you. And you should go chug some antifreeze.

Anyone else notice how Lamar's solution in the 2nd half of the Texan's game looked shockingly similar to the leash the Bills put Allen on?
Just thought it was worth pointing out...

Ravens fans: ermergerd but what about all these regular season stats, they're going to win by 4 scores! Chiefs fans: We'll see. Beat Mahomes first. Ravens fans: ermergerd don't underestimate, there will be excuses when you lose by 3 touchdowns!!!! Chiefs fans: k. I guess. We'll see, can we just watch the game and see what happens? Ravens fans: ermergerd DeeeeeeVOAaaaaaaaa, 10 win teams, REGULAR SEASON STATS!!!! You're all reeruned if you don't accept the greatness now!!! Chiefs fans: If they're great, they'll win this weekend. Ravens fans: SAY THEY'RE GREAT NOW!!!!!!

Maybe we stomp you last year in the playoffs too if Lamar hadn't chosen a business decision over playing...

The Pro Bowl is mostly a popularity contest voted on by casuals. That said it's generally QB's considered better than Josh Allen that receive the awarded spots.
