Broncos since winning Super Bowl 50: 7 straight years not going to the playoffs, went through multiple head coaches and starting QBS in this current span
Patriots since winning Super Bowl 53: 2 1 and done playoff years (2019 and 2021) and having trouble replacing Brady
Rams since winning Super Bowl 56: 8 combined wins in 2 years since going all in to win that 1 ring.
As a Rams fan the fanbase acts like the Rams are the only ones having problems since their Super Bowl win.
Patriots easily. Unless a miracle happens, they won’t even make the playoffs this season. Brady is a difficult guy to replace, and the rest of the team just fell to pieces after he left.

It doesn't matter.
Win the Super Bowl, then go rest on your laurels for a while.
Make a list of NFL teams who never won and ask them.
Go ask the whole AFC how they felt about Super Bowl games from 1985 until 1997.
It took the Denver Broncos to get the AFC out of the funk. AFC has won 16 of last 26.
You just gotta have some patience here.
Every year, I sort of hope to see Bills vs Vikings just to settle down some of the lip, but time is patient that way.
The Bills should have won it in the 21-22 season, except for the infamous 13 second game. They would have knocked off Cinci and crushed the Rams like they did the following season. Josh Allen is the real deal but the defense is slipping and they are 5-4.
The AFC East is a lot tougher division than it was during the Patriots glory years - that's part of it - unlikely to win their own division and have 6 tough games just from those division rivals.
The past few years the Patriots have also fielded a mediocre team themselves. This year though, they have really fallen off a cliff, and while there have been some dumb personnel moves on the offensive squad and some strange decisions on who to play from the WR group, I still can't entirely understand why they are *so* bad this year - relative to the previous 2 years, I mean, they're in the running anyway for the worst team in the NFL. The o-line is lousy, and the wide receivers are meh and the QB seems to have lost his confidence. They've had some bad luck with injuries too. At 2-7 they may win only a handful of games this year - worst year in 20 years, maybe it will wind up being the worst year in 30 years.

I'd say the Rams. They're having a better year, somewhat, this year.. But there's honestly not a whole lot of light at the end of the tunnel from a money standpoint.
When you sign Carson Wentz, that's to be expected.
The Pats.. They suck.. but.. They have room to work. They're not as locked in as the Rams. I honestly think that they probably need to move on from a coaching standpoint. And, possibly, QB as well.
I'd say the Broncos fall in both categories. Things haven't gone well. They keep thinking they're just one piece away.. And by the time they fill in that piece.. Another piece is missing. And by the time they fix that.. The original piece is a problem again. And they're mortgaging the future for the pieces they get. Which isn't helping.
I would rather never appear than to choke 4 years in a row.
Agreed.
