Will we be able to pass them before the playoffs? No guarantees but it is possible. I also hope this lights a fire under Veach not to write this year off as a rebuild but to add a piece or two if they make sense.
Buffalo's team has way more veterans and consistency from last few years. Chiefs reloaded for youth and we are changing a lot on both sides of the ball.

I don't think KC will "pass" BUF this season in terms of overall talent/player on the field. We have no one on Diggs' level. He's elite, and we don't have that. We don't have anything quite like Gabe Davis either. We don't have Tre White or Von Miller.
But if there's one thing the St. Louis Blues taught me back in 2019, it's that you don't necessarily have to have a pile of elite players to win a championship. You do need a pile of complementary players, great coaching, and at least a couple 'near' elite players to compete.
But you really need a great team that's 100% bought in to the team and the system. I think KC does have enough firepower, if all the key guys stay healthy, and certain players start growing into their roles, and they all buy into the Chiefs 'way.' i know, there's a lot of "ifs" in there, but we weren't supposed to win in 2019 either. But we did.
And BUF could run into injury issues, or just a couple bad bounces or whatever. It can happen to any team. Anyway, I doubt BUF goes 16-1. It's just really hard. They'll drop a few more games. The Chiefs just need to take care of business. They're one back of the AFC leader for the 1-seed, two weeks from the bye, and a bit easier schedule for the back half of the season.
And Veach almost always finds some piece to help the team out. He probably will again.
I'm good with just standing pat and seeing where we are in six weeks.
