In the event the Chiefs can field an elite defense this year, it's basically game over for the NFL. Keeping Patrick on the sideline, like saw in the first half of SB57 has always been their one hope.

I just see a different shade of gray. Now imagine if we secure competent OTs and gave him actual WR weapons. I think we’ll get a taste of that if Toney can stay healthy. How good does your defense need to be? A scary good offense with a top 10 defense is way more scary to me than being too 3 in both.
As good as our offense has been, surprisingly it was offense that held us from our last 2 exits. And just as mahomes will always find a way to cook, I still think you HAVE to beat burrow and josh Allen in the playoffs with offense. It just takes one hot streak to take our defense no matter how good and make them out of sync. Whereas mahomes can consistently carry a defense.
I still say you build as good an offense as you can with our cap limitations to the extent that they don’t push your defense out of the top 10.
