Yeah, I don't get it. With 4 Super Bowl appearances in 5 years, they are clearly the Lord's anointed football team.

As a chiefs fan: see 2012. Not anointed, just incredibly lucky.

True, but that led to Andy Reid. Also, for a 2-14 team, there were a ton of Pro Bowl players on the team that year. I just knew they'd be monsters with the right coach.

The Pats went 5-11 in Belichick's first year. The Cowboys went 1-15 in Jimmy Johnson's first year. Sometimes you have to walk through the desert before you reach the promise land.
