I think Bill's fan probably feel the same as Bengals' fans: they are wasting Josh Allen's (Burrow's) prime years. But the reality is Mahomes and Andy Reid and Spagnuolo and the Chiefs' organization are just a cut above the rest. The Chiefs have been gifted with an easier division than the AFC Central (in the case of the Bengals), and it might be a completely different story if the Chiefs played in the Central, but Mahomes is a future Hall of Fame QB and Reid a future Hall of Fame coach.
Yes, the Chiefs get a lot of breaks (and if I'm part of the Bills' Mafia, I'm angry about the 4th down stop that probably wasn't), but the Chiefs were winning close playoff games before Taylor Swift took up with Kelce and before Mahomes became a popular icon. It has been rather remarkable watching their success (5 of the last 6 Super Bowls). Only the Bengals remarkable run to the 2022 Super Bowl kept them from 6 consecutive Super Bowls.
The Bills' organization has themselves to blame for trading pick 10 in 2017 to KC so they could draft Mahomes and trading the pick last year to KC so they could draft Xavier Worthy. The Bills are the one organization that may have been more snakebit than the Bengals, with some truly painful losses.
