KC Chiefs offense: More damned lies and statistics

I have to congratulate the poster for inflaming the fan base. I especially enjoyed the contentiousness around KV2's methodology. Specifically, she adjusted the Chiefs' total points number downward by subtracting the team's defensive scores but did not do the same for the rest of the league. She acknowledged as much in the commentary, but for some readers, this flaw was enough to invalidate the entire argument. I'll offer a couple of comments and conclusions from what the data shows me:
In terms of points, the Chiefs go from slightly above average to slightly below average when adjusting for DST Points. After 3 weeks in a totally new offense and with a high degree of turnover in personnel, this is not a discouraging result to me. I do believe the offense must improve to stay on the playoffs track and to perform well once we get there, but so far so good.
