I wouldn't hate replacing him, but there's a lot more turnover needed than that. Hopefully they understand that and go hard in the offseason to bring the D closer to league average than the same dogshit year after year. It's crystal clear 15 will make the offense good enough with anyone. F overpaying Juju or anyone else. Pray some guy can be a competent LT. Let Skyy, Toney etc battle it out. And invest heavily on the DL and secondary.

I don't agree. I think some schemes are better than others when you have a QB like Mahomes.
The scheme Spags is playing right now forces teams to kill us by papercuts. They eat up clock, they limit the possessions, and really good QBs pick us apart anyway.
If the Chiefs play hyperaggressive on D, which is what I'd favor this year, you're limiting the amount of time per snap the QBs hold the ball and wait for the receivers to come open. It's going to burn you a lot, but it's going to reduce their time of possession.
It'll up Mahomes' time of possession, increase the number of his possessions per game, and force teams to beat Mahomes in a shootout. Shootouts he'll win 90% of the time.
Instead they are obsessing with taking the big play away, and it's allowing teams to chew clock and put more pressure than necessary on Mahomes.
