Get out your pitchforks boys, you ain't gonna like this. It's actually good arguments. We probably got lucky last year, unlucky in the losses to Brady because that motherfucker is the luckiest person alive.

Truth be told, if Mahomes had held that ball a half second longer in the first Super Bowl, he can't complete Wasp.
If Mahomes isn't hit late in the AFCCG in 2023, the Chiefs aren't able to move up for a gimme FG and then who knows what happens.
If the Bills convert a FG last year, the Chiefs have to face them in OT and who knows what happens.
All three years, the Chiefs advance by the slimmest of margins, but that's almost certainly true for a hundred different teams.
It's also true that Andrew Luck doesn't have the ball bounce right back into his hands, or that Mariota catches his own pass, Dee Ford is offsides, or that Lin Elliott doesn't miss a hundred kicks, Eric Fisher misses the Super Bowl in 2021. And on and on it goes.
It's the nature of the sport. You cannot win without luck on your side.
In each of those games, the Chiefs could have won by more. The Eagles Super Bowl alone, I still think Sneed forced that fumble and that Nick Bolton should have been the real MVP with two touchdowns.
But, hey. That's the sport. And that's why it's a wild ride. [Reply]
And, more specifically, we seem to be great at striking when we see an opening. How many times has there been a key turnover, and we immediately score in the next couple of plays? That kind of stuff turns games. [Reply]

No I just found the video fascinating. Sports aren't supreme destiny. It's also possible if we were as lucky as TOM BRADY we would have five super bowls and not three. Or if we were extremely unlucky maybe only 1. [Reply]

Congratulations on discovering that there is some luck involved in winning championships. [Reply]
